Over 140 years. Still family-owned. Still building.

It started in 1880 with a small ropery in Süßen, Germany. A handful of products for agriculture and an idea worth building on.

Four generations later, the Carl Stahl Group operates across 65 locations worldwide, employs more than 1,800 people, and has never left family hands.

That kind of longevity doesn't happen by accident. It happens when a company builds things that last, and treats the people around it the same way.

The same craftsmanship behind that original rope shop is behind every cable, mesh system, and architectural solution we produce today.

📍 Founded in Süßen, Germany. Present everywhere.

We're proud to announce our partnership with Evertreen, a platform dedicated to reforestation and verified CO2 offsetting for individuals and businesses.

Evertreen has already made a measurable impact: over 3.6 million trees planted, more than 81,000 tonnes of CO2 absorbed, and nearly 467,000 working hours created for local communities through their forestry projects. Every tree is tracked and verified, with satellite monitoring and photo and video updates giving full transparency into each project's progress. Their offset projects are certified through Verra and Gold Standard, ensuring real, accountable environmental outcomes.

This mission aligns closely with our own. At Carl Stahl ARC, we design cable and mesh systems that help bring nature into the built environment, supporting green facades, vertical greening, and sustainable architecture that reduces environmental impact while creating healthier spaces for people to live and work. Evertreen extends that commitment beyond the buildings we help shape, contributing directly to reforestation and biodiversity on a global scale.

Together, we're connecting sustainable architecture with sustainable ecosystems, reinforcing our shared belief that responsible design and environmental action go hand in hand.

Where art and architecture meet. Canberra Hospital's new building expansion features a striking facade that doubles as a work of art, made from X TEND® CXA Stainless Steel Cable Mesh fitted with 25,000 sequins.

The pattern brings to life "Journey to Healing," an artwork by First Nations artist Lynnice Church, transforming the building's exterior into a meaningful, site specific installation while also contributing to sustainable cooling.

Realized through close collaboration with Ronstan Tensile Architecture, this facade shows how thoughtful material engineering can support both cultural storytelling and building performance.

Introducing the Wendlingen wooden parking garage in Germany, a project that redefines what a parking structure can be.

Project details:
📍 Wendlingen, Germany
🏗️ Architecture: herrmann+bosch architects
🧵 Product: X-TEND® Stainless Steel Cable Mesh (GREENCABLE® Safety), 1,339 m² total
📸 Photography: Roland Halbe

Built with 349 spaces using an innovative timber construction, the building relies on screw connections rather than composite materials, allowing it to be fully dismantled and its materials recycled at the end of its lifecycle.

Its design also anticipates future needs. The parking levels are engineered so they can later be converted into living or working spaces, and the ramp system can be removed to create a green inner courtyard, a solution that balances environmental responsibility with adaptive urban planning.

For the greenery, Carl Stahl ARC's X-TEND® stainless steel cable mesh was installed across the façade: 236 m² at a 100 mm mesh size and 1,103 m² at a 200 mm mesh size, both with a 3.0 mm cable diameter. Together, they provide maximum safety while enabling a transparent, plant-covered exterior that transforms the parking garage into an architectural highlight.
The Wendlingen wooden parking garage is a strong example of how mobility, sustainability, and modern design can come together in one structure.

Beyond aesthetics, the living façade delivers measurable environmental benefits: absorbing CO2, improving air quality, providing natural shading, and enhancing the building’s microclimate.

The Garden Tower is a compelling example of how thoughtful material engineering can support architecture that puts sustainability and urban livability first.

A boiler house that gives back more than heat.

The new boiler house in Deggendorf, Germany does something most utility buildings don't, it earns its place on the streetscape.

Built to supply the Robert-Koch-Gymnasium with renewable energy from a biomass heating system, the project makes sustainability visible from the outside in.

GREENCABLE® Light was used to green the façade, with horizontal and vertical stainless steel cables installed at precisely the right spacing to let climbing plants develop naturally. The result is a building that actively supports the environment it serves — not just through what happens inside, but through what grows on it.

When a school becomes the first in its district to run on renewable heat, the building around it should say something about that.

When the enclosure disappears, the animal takes center stage.

At Ostrava Zoo, one of the largest zoos in the Czech Republic, stainless steel cable mesh was used to build an aviary that puts the birds first.

Custom mesh sizes and cable diameters were specified to meet the exact safety requirements of each species, while the open diamond structure nearly vanishes against the sky, giving visitors an unobstructed view of the animals inside.

The result is an enclosure that feels less like a barrier and more like a habitat.

X-TEND® stainless steel cable mesh by Carl Stahl Architektur. Durable, low-maintenance, and built to blend in — whether the backdrop is a forest, a façade, or an open sky.

How do you maximize daylight in a 544,000-square-foot science and engineering facility without compromising safety?

At Harvard University's Science and Engineering Complex, designed by Behnisch Architekten, Carl Stahl stainless steel cable mesh was used to create transparent balustrade systems throughout the building's atriums and circulation spaces.

The lightweight mesh provides the strength required for fall protection while preserving openness, visibility, and the flow of natural light deep into the building. The result is a solution that supports both architectural vision and occupant experience.

Built to inspire learning while prioritizing safety and sustainability.

The Fuchshof Primary School in Ludwigsburg integrates Carl Stahl X-TEND® Stainless Steel Cable Mesh to create open, transparent facades and secure balcony systems that connect students with their surroundings.

The lightweight mesh system provides reliable fall protection while maintaining airflow, visibility, and architectural openness.

Designed with sustainability at its core, the project follows the Cradle-to-Cradle principle with a focus on resource conservation and closed product cycles.

The award-winning timber construction highlights how modern educational spaces can combine functionality, safety, and environmental responsibility.
