Our History
Stamats was founded in 1923 as a marketing services firm by two young creative entrepreneurs, Frank French and Herbert Stamats. Just as the Stamats of today, they focused on a few markets and utilized the most effective methods available for realizing success for their clients.
The first half-century of Stamats’ business utilized print media, including custom publications and business-to-business magazines. It was during this period that Stamats became known for creativity, quality and market specialization.
In the 1980’s Stamats was the first company to offer market research services to education institutions. It was during this decade that Stamats began expanding its business media offerings by adding events such as The Buildings Show, a trade show for the commercial buildings industry.
Today, Stamats provides a wide range of solutions for its clients and customers and continues to be owned and managed by descendants of Herbert Stamats and their families. We choose not to be “married” to any particular medium, but instead push ourselves to stay ahead of the curve and become familiar with new and changing media. As a result, we offer a full range of marketing, consulting, research and business media services and limit ourselves only to products and services which are effective for those we serve.
A key attribute of Stamats’ longevity is staying young with the solutions we provide, but holding fast to the values that have been with us since our founding.
