Repurpose waste & upcycling.
A little bit of Staron goes a long way.
Those that are familiar with solid surface know how even the smallest amount of material can be used to make something useful. Bread boards, serving platters, fruit bowls, pens, knife handles and lazy susans are just some of the great products that have been manufactured from our off cuts.
Staron has a long-life expectancy within projects; the ability to renew and repair means it should not be considered as a short-term “throwaway” item.
In addition, at a project’s “end-of-life” Staron can be salvaged and re-designed to create new applications in the same way timber is able to be repurposed. An old kitchen benchtop can become a new outdoor kitchen, laundry benches, furniture items and more.
This sustainable and adaptable nature positions Staron as a conscientious choice, aligning with contemporary environmental values while providing enduring functionality.

We are grateful to be connected with the people behind each of these amazing products and to be able to represent them. Embracing the opportunity to represent other brands, we became Austaron Surfaces.
As an established company, in 2021, the opportunity to promote our product offering to the New Zealand market, saw the founding of a new company within that region with 3 local partners. Austaron Surfaces is locally owned and operated in both Australia and New Zealand.
