# About Støtek

Støtek was established by Ivan Byskov in 1987, an already experienced player in the foundry industry.

The organization was founded on three main principles: *reliability, professionalism*, and *flexibility*. These three principles constituted the foundation for the way that Støtek does business. It was meant as a business philosophy that emphasizes how Støtek puts the customer first at all costs.
