About Fletcher Insulation
Fletcher Insulation is Australia’s leading insulation company supplying our favourite brands of insulation. These include Pink Batts®, Sisalation®, Permastop® and Duroid® - to name but a few. Although Fletcher Insulation™ is a relatively new company, we have a strong pedigree dating back over half a century.
Our history stretches back to the 1930’s when the Australian Sisalkraft Company started manufacturing products used in packaging and as a wallwrap and building membrane. After WW2 they developed the concept of adding foil to Sisalkraft to provide insulation benefits and this is how Sisalation® was born.
Then in the 1950’s, CI 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 Insulation became a household name in the 70’s when they led the promotion of home insulation with the famous Pink® Panther advertising campaigns.
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 Insulation) in 2005. These two businesses were then joined to create Fletcher Insulation™ – taking the best features that each company offered to create a new standard in insulation in Australia.
