Company history

Bradford Insulation was established in 1934. Then, we used the waste slag from steel manufacturing to produce insulation – the very first time insulation was made from recycled materials.

The growing business was progressively acquired by CSR Limited from the 1950s. During the 1960s, glasswool manufacture was introduced and, due to strong growth in Asia, CSR Bradford expanded its business there in the 1980s and 90s.

Reflective foil was also added to the Bradford Insulation Group in the 1980s. In 2006 Bradford acquired the Edmonds ventilation business, further enhancing Bradford’s leadership position in the regional market.

Fletcher Insulation

Fletcher Insulation is Australia’s leading insulation company supplying our favourite brands of insulation. These include Pink Batts® insulation, Sisalation® foil and Permastop® building blanket – 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 1930s when the Australian Sisalkraft company started manufacturing products used in packaging and as a wall wrap and building membrane. After World War 2 they developed the concept of adding foil to Sisalkraft® kraft paper to provide insulation benefits, and this is how Sisalation® foil was born.

In the 1950s, ACI was the first company in Australia to make glasswool insulation from a plant in Botany, before the world-class Dandenong site was developed in the 1960s. 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 1970s, 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 FatBatts® insulation and Vapa-Chek® building blanket steadily increased Insulco’s market share through the 1980s and 90s. Insulco’s commitment to customer service and flexibility in manufacturing were the keys 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.

The colour PINK and Pink Batts® are registered trademarks of Owens Corning and used under licence by Fletcher Insulation.
