About Us
Fletcher Insulation™ is Australia's leading insulation company supplying our favourite insulation brands through well established distribution channels. Fletcher Insulation has a strong pedigree dating over half a century.
OUR HISTORY
Our history dates back to the 1930's when the Australian Sisalkraft Company started manufacturing products used in packaging and as a wall wrap and building membrane. After WWII they developed the concept of adding foil to Sisalkraft to provide insulation benefits and that's how Sisalation® was born.
Then in the 1950's, ACI were the first company in Australia to make glasswool insulation from a plant in Botany, before the world class Dandenong site was developed in the 60's. This led to the development of batt insulation at a time when most competitors were still supplying granulated rockwool. ACI Pink Batts® became a household name in the 70's when they led the promotion of home insulation with the famous Pink Panther commercials.
Insulco® began more recently in 1979 and quickly grew to become a major force in the insulation market. Sales of both Fat Batts and Vapa-chek™ steadily increased Insulco®'s market share through the 80's and 90's. Insulco®'s commitment to customer service and flexibility in manufacturing were the key to its success.
Fletcher Building acquired the Insulco® business in 2003 and then Insulation Solutions (previously ACI) in 2005. These two businesses were joined to create Fletcher Insulation™ - taking the best from both companies to create a new standard in insulation for Australia.
