Aird, Inc. Named Official Sto National Accounts Vendor

A Major Milestone for Our Team — and a Big Win for the Brands We Support

Aird, Inc. is proud to announce an exciting step forward in our long-standing partnership with Sto Corp: we are now the official Sto National Accounts Vendor.

This designation places Aird among an elite group trusted to represent Sto at the highest level — and even more importantly, it positions us to help shape the visual, structural, and performance standards used by some of the most recognizable brands in the world.

What This Means: Aird Will Now Build All Full-Scale Mock-Ups for Sto’s National Accounts

Dairy Queen Mockup

As the Sto National Accounts Vendor, Aird, Inc. will be responsible for building full-size exterior mock-ups for all of Sto’s participating national brands. These mock-ups are not small samples — they are full assemblies designed exactly as they would appear on a finished building.

And the best part?

Once these mock-ups are completed and approved by the client, they become the standard for that brand’s future stores and are written directly into their specifications.

This brings Aird, Inc. into a new level of influence in the national retail, restaurant, and fitness markets.

Brands We’re Supporting

We are honored to help bring the next generation of exterior and interior aesthetics to major national accounts, including:

• Dairy Queen

• KFC

• Lifetime Fitness

• AND MORE!

Setting the Standard for the Future of Their Buildings

With every mock-up we build, Aird is helping shape:

• National aesthetic direction

• Exterior system performance standards

• Approved Sto assemblies and detailing

• Long-term durability benchmarks

• Cost, speed, and efficiency expectations

And now — Interior Aesthetic Standards as Well

Today’s brands want cohesive design inside and out. Thanks to Sto’s growing range of architectural finishes, Aird's mock-ups will also

showcase interior options, including:

• StoCast Wood — realistic wood grain planks without the maintenance

• StoCast Brick — lightweight, flexible, and perfect for interior feature walls

• Sto Signature Metallic Finishes — modern, sleek, and highly customizable

• Sto MVES (Masonry Veneer Engineering System) — a high-performance alternative to traditional masonry for interior accent elements

• Specialty textures and artisan finishes for design-driven retail and fitness environments

By incorporating these materials, brands can evaluate complete interior aesthetics during the mock-up phase, allowing them to standardize the entire building experience — not just the exterior.

Aird is now the team responsible for bringing this vision to life.

Aird Will Be Showcased at National Trade Shows

As part of this prestigious role, Aird, Inc. will be:

• Invited to major industry trade shows as Sto’s official National Accounts Vendor

• Showcasing our full-size mock-ups and system assemblies

• Connecting with architects, national accounts, and brand design teams

• Demonstrating best-in-class EIFS and Sto cladding technology

This recognition gives us the opportunity to display our work nationally — and to highlight what modern EIFS and Sto finishes can truly achieve.

Strengthening Aird’s Mission: Quality, Innovation, and Trust

This milestone reflects the foundation of our company:

• Master-level installation of EIFS and wall systems

• Commitment to high-performance, tested building assemblies

• Trust earned through decades of craftsmanship and education

• Dedication to helping architects, GCs, and brands understand today’s advanced systems

Aird isn't just performing work — we’re helping define standards for the next generation of building design.

Looking Ahead

We are honored by Sto's trust and excited for the opportunity to impact national brands, participate in major trade shows, and lead the creation of performance-driven building standards.

This is just the beginning — and we can’t wait to share what comes next.
