About Stellmann Non-Slip Coatings

The Stellmann Coatings Story

Stellmann Non-Slip

At Stellmann Non-Slip, we don’t just make coatings — we prevent life-changing accidents before they happen.

Founded in 2019 by Dano Estermann and Jelmer Stellingwerf, our journey began by bringing Swiss GriP’s world-class coatings into Australia. What started as a mission to protect homes has grown into a national movement that now safeguards over 10,000+ Australian homes, Airbnb’s, aged-care facilities, commercial buildings and workplaces.

With deep roots in Switzerland — the global benchmark for precision and safety — Stellmann was built on uncompromising quality, CSIRO-certified compliance, and innovation that lasts. Every product we release must pass one test: Would we trust it to protect our own families and clients?

Our Mission: Safety Without Compromise

  • Protecting people first – preventing slips, trips, and falls before they cause injury.
  • Sustainability built-in – water-based, VOC-free systems safe for families, aged care, and the environment.
  • User-friendly innovation – coatings designed to be simple to apply, maintain, and reapply — whether you’re a DIY homeowner, a tradie, or a facility manager.

Why Stellmann Leads the Market

  • Global credibility: European engineering, Australian compliance, worldwide reach.
  • CSIRO-certified safety: Proven slip-resistance in both wet and dry conditions.
  • Trusted by Coles, Qantas, Four Seasons, Mirvac, JLL, Colliers, ANZ and 1500+ venues nationwide
  • Backed by experts: A certified applicator network delivers professional-grade results anywhere in Australia.

Every year, thousands of Australians are hospitalized from preventable slips. Stellmann exists so you’re not one of them. Whether you’re securing a family shower, protecting an Airbnb, or future-proofing a commercial facility, Stellmann ensures every step is a safe one.

Our Founders

Dano Estermann

Dano has scaled companies across hospitality, fitness and food before co-founding Stellmann. After a personal spinal injury and witnessing a close friend’s devastating fall, he turned a life-changing experience into a national mission: to make every step in Australia safer. Since moving to Australia from Switzerland, he has specialized in the coatings sector, driving Stellmann’s growth from start-up to trusted national brand. Today, Dano leads strategy, marketing, and the customer-first vision that has helped protect 10,000+ homes, Airbnb’s, and commercial facilities across the country.

Jelmer Stellingwerf

With over 15 years in coatings and business development, Jelmer combines chemical expertise with product innovation to set Stellmann apart. Having lived and worked across Europe before co-founding Stellmann, he brings Swiss precision and international credibility to every solution. Jelmer is the force behind Stellmann’s CSIRO-certified coatings - ensuring they not only meet but exceed Australian and global slip-resistance standards. His work enables tradies, OTs, and facility managers to deliver results that are compliant, durable, and easy to maintain.
