STEICO SE: Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Economy Minister Robert Habeck find out more about wood fibre insulation products at STEICO

• Politicians visit the international IHM trade fair for construction, renovation and refurbishment in Munich.             

• Strong interest in STEICO’s sustainable construction products.

Feldkirchen (Munich), 11 July 2022 – The international IHM trade fair for construction, renovation and refurbishment took place in Munich from 6-10 July, and STEICO presented its environmentally friendly insulation solutions for renovation and new construction.

STEICO’s sustainable products also met with great interest from politicians. Germany’s Economy Minister Robert Habeck visited STEICO’s stand on the opening day of the trade fair to find out about the potential offered by wood-fibre insulation materials. Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz then also visited STEICO’s stand as part of the “Top-level Munich Talks on the German Economy”, and STEICO’s CEO Udo Schramek provided details on how wood-fibre insulation materials can be used.

This strong interest from politicians is a particular honour for STEICO, as this expresses the fact that wood-fibre insulation materials - and timber construction in general - has now moved into the public’s attention. Building and insulating with wood is sustainable and highly energy efficient. What is more, wood and wood-fibre insulation materials store large quantities of CO₂, which trees extract from the atmosphere as they grow. That is why wood-fibre insulation materials are regarded as being particularly climate-friendly.

At present, in particular the renovation sector is the focus of public discussions. Renovating a property to make it more energy efficient reduces both dependency on fossil fuels and also makes an important contribution to reaching climate targets. STEICO is the global market leader for wood-fibre insulation materials and offers a particularly wide product range for renovation projects for all aspects of the building’s shell.
