40 years of SIBU DESIGN – and the region is celebrating too!

Press release 15. 10 2025

 

TERNBERG,
At the open house, more than 400 guests flocked to the company to discover the fascinating world of design panels. The anniversary event demonstrated that quality, creativity, and togetherness at SIBU DESIGN are more than just words – they are a lived passion.

Four decades of innovation and passion

Since its founding in 1985 – then still under the name SIRO-BURG DESIGN – the company has evolved from a small production facility into an internationally respected design partner. Early on, it focused on exports and was already supplying more than 20 countries in its very first year.

Milestones such as the introduction of the STRUCTURE-LINE in the 1990s, expansion into Asia, the development of sustainable product lines, and the launch of the SL OCEAN product have all shaped this success story.

Even challenging periods, such as the global financial crisis in 2009 or the restructuring in 2023, were overcome through innovation and solidarity. Today, SIBU DESIGN employs 44 people and is among the leading manufacturers of decorative surface solutions – with a clear focus on quality, sustainability, and design diversity. The new ACOUSTIC WALL PANELS product line and the establishment of a trading company in Germany demonstrate one thing: there is no such thing as standing still here.

With a machinery fleet of around 25 state-of-the-art, partly custom-built systems, SIBU DESIGN in Ternberg produces design panels that impress with far more than just their aesthetics.

Depending on customer requirements, they are made flame-retardant, highly abrasion-resistant, or seamlessly processed – always with the goal of perfectly combining design and function. Whether in elegant leather or velvet looks, modern textured panels, or high-gloss marble décors, the portfolio leaves nothing to be desired.

The panels are used in interior design, in shopfitting for well-known brands such as Zara, Ray-Ban, and Hugo Boss, in high-quality furniture, and even in the cladding of motorhomes.

A celebration of connection and inspiration

To mark its milestone anniversary, SIBU DESIGN opened its doors to everyone who wanted to experience the company up close. More than 400 visitors – including many families – took the opportunity to go behind the scenes during guided tours of the facility. At several stations, guests could see how impressive design panels are created – from material processing to finishing. Delicious food, cozy get-togethers, and lively conversations added to the warm atmosphere.

The result: a day full of wonder, enthusiasm, and a tangible sense of team spirit. Like a beehive, the SIBU DESIGN team works hand in hand – with precision, dedication, and a passion for what they create: design solutions that transform spaces and evoke emotion.
