About Unitex Render Warehouse
Unitex Render Warehouse — known throughout the trade as URW — is the trade outlet identity of Unitex, Australia’s longest-standing manufacturer of exterior render, cladding, texture, and architectural moulding systems. URW gives builders, renderers, and applicators direct access to the full Unitex range, backed by technical sales representatives who provide onsite advice from project conception through to completion. Every product carries the same manufacturing quality and accreditation, whether it’s picked up at a trade outlet, ordered through a stockist, or delivered direct to site anywhere in Australia.
Our Story
Unitex started trading in 1983, when two expert solid plasterers joined forces with an experienced industrial polymer chemist. That chemist brought development and manufacturing experience from both Australia and overseas — so from the outset, Unitex combined a strong technical base with a genuinely practical, trade-first focus. That combination of hands-on trade skill and polymer engineering expertise has shaped the business ever since, and it’s why Unitex became Australia’s most innovative manufacturer of specialty exterior wall materials, with a range spanning lightweight EPS cladding, specialty renders, applied texture finishes, masonry paints, and architectural mouldings and columns.
Unitex introduced External Insulation Finishing Systems (EIFS) to Australia and remains a market leader today, with more than fifty years of combined manufacturing and application experience across the team. The Unitex name has become one that specifiers, builders, applicators, developers, and homeowners have come to know and trust — built on a platform of innovation and service that hasn’t changed since 1983, even as the business itself has grown.
Part of Sto Australia
Since August 2019, Unitex has operated as part of Sto Australia Pty Ltd, a Sto SE & Co. KGaA subsidiary. The relationship has been additive rather than disruptive — Unitex has kept its Australian manufacturing base at Dandenong South, its full product range, and its trade-first focus on builders, renderers, and applicators, while gaining access to a larger group’s technical resources for product development.
Sto Australia Pty Ltd also operates a separate facade brand for architects and commercial specifiers. Read more about Unitex and Sto Australia for the full picture of how the two relate to each other.
Quality, Innovation, and Sustainability
Every Unitex product is manufactured from high-quality raw materials, with a continuous evaluation programme in place to keep formulations cost-effective without compromising performance. Where it’s possible to do so without affecting product quality, Unitex incorporates recycled raw materials into its manufacturing process — a small but genuine contribution to reducing environmental impact across the building industry.
The Unitex Research and Development team continues to challenge convention, developing smarter manufacturing processes and new products with real customer benefit at the centre of the brief. That ongoing investment in R&D is what keeps the Unitex range current against tightening NCC energy requirements, evolving bushfire regulations, and the changing demands of Australian construction — and it’s backed now by the added resources and technical exchange that come from being part of Sto Australia Pty Ltd.
Trade Outlets and National Supply
Unitex products are available through URW trade outlets in Seven Hills (NSW) and Dry Creek (SA), both offering walk-in trade service, early opening hours, and onsite technical sales support. Beyond the trade outlets, Unitex products are supplied through a national network of stockists covering every state and territory — so wherever a project is being built, the same accredited, Australian-made systems are available with reliable local supply.

Our Vision
Unitex aims to be the first choice in Australia for technically superior lightweight renders, high-quality texture coatings, architectural mouldings, and advanced lightweight insulation systems — delivered through the same combination of innovation and genuine customer service that’s defined the business since 1983.
That means putting the customer at the centre of every interaction, before, during, and after the sale — and continuing to invest what the business earns back into research and development, so the range keeps evolving to meet the needs of Australian builders, applicators, and the environments their projects are built in.
Your Walls. Our Pride.
