BRAND'S HISTORY
StM company was founded in 1988. In the fall of 2018, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of our brand StM!
Since the beginning of the foundation, a difficult path has been passed and a huge amount of work has been done to establish and develop - from a small company to a group of companies and the global brand StM, whose logo and products are well known to athletes and fencing experts on all continents - in the most remote corners the globe.
Having finished our fencing sports career and started selling fencing equipment in the late 80s, we did not think about becoming the best or, for example, creating our own production facilities.
This came later. And then - in that distant and difficult time - we just tried to work, work a lot, as honestly and openly as possible. Hard and painstaking long-term work already by the second half of the 90s began to bear fruit and allowed us to see and "sketch" the prospects for the development of our company and our commercial activities. In the mid-90s, we created "from scratch" divisions for the production of fencing blades and electrical equipment, and organized the project "Wireless system for fixing thrust / blows for fencing." And then ... Then we proved and convinced the whole fencing world that our products, our service and services are not just no worse, but better than the same European ones. That was the time of countless business trips, negotiations, meetings, sleepless nights, and ... again business trips, meetings, negotiations. Someone did not take StM seriously, someone ignored it, someone deliberately "put a spoke in our wheels" and did outright nasty things, but many helped, and advised, and encouraged. There was a lot of everything - both bad and good. We went through all this - we became tempered, strengthened - and became what we have become. And most importantly, we have proved to the whole world that StM is quality, StM is reliable, StM is professionalism, StM is power!
Today, under the StM brand and trademark, several dozen manufacturing, commercial, export-import companies, as well as fencing and fitness clubs, have gathered and successfully work as a single organism, with a total number of employees of about 200 people.
At present, StM is a recognized quality mark and a world leader in the production of a wide range of fencing equipment and equipment. Tens of thousands of fencers around the world have appreciated the high quality and advantages of StM brand products - and prefer it to all other manufacturers.
