About us

Stb was established in 1992. At that time, we were a group of four enthusiastic students developing tailored CRM systems for business clients. During the day, we took turns at attending classes and spending time with our clients, and in the evening we would work on the software.

We started from the idea that systems had to perfectly match our clients' business processes. And we didn't stop working on them until they did. That often meant a lot of late nights at the office... Back in those days, we started a tradition of eating Chinese food together on Wednesday evenings. It's a tradition that we still keep to this day.

In the meantime, Stb has become a renowned automation company with over 250 clients and employing forty people, including software developers, implementation consultants, project managers, and R&D specialists. Our company is headquartered in Houten. In 2008, we opened an office in Timişoara, Romania, currently employing five people. The office is involved primarily in software development.
