Stiko’s History and Expertise: Your Partner in Precision Measurement Since 1963

In the early 1960s, when mercury-filled industrial dial thermometers posed environmental risks, engineers J.G. Stiller and A. van der Kolk, working at a local instrumentation manufacturer, united to develop a safer, eco-friendly alternative. Their vision led to the creation of the first gas-filled thermometer, marking the birth of N.V. STIKO in 1963. Over the decades, through key milestones (1970, 1972, 1978, 1981, 1984, 1986, 1995, 2003, 2005, 2010, 2013, 2018, 2019, and 2023), Stiko has evolved into a global leader in precision instrumentation.
