STARK Group strengthens its position in Denmark
With the acquisition, STARK Group gains a more closely connected business network and better logistics solutions in South Zealand. The company is already planning the construction of a new branch close by in the city of Næstved later this year. The company thus ensures that the area's craftsmen encounter STARK in all the area's major towns and that the distance to a STARK branch is rarely more than 40 km for the area's craftsmen.
Since 2006, XL-BYG Faxe Trælast & Proffcenter has been owned by Erik Krogh-Meyer and Lars Zacho, the latter of who is also the CEO. Lars Zacho continues as branch manager. On the reasons for the sale, he remarks:
"By becoming part of the STARK chain, we can offer our customers an even wider range of products and better logistics solutions. We can make our customers' working day a little easier and, in doing so, strengthen our strong relationships with the area's craftsmen. At the same time, my employees and I will continue on, so the new ownership transition is easy and smooth for all our customers."
STARK Group’s CEO, Søren P. Olesen, says:
"I am happy to welcome our new colleagues. Together, we can give the area's craftsmen better solutions. Historically, STARK has not been strong in South Zealand, but we are changing that with retail and distribution in Faxe and a new branch in Næstved. With our new colleagues in Faxe, we gain a strong team with good relations with the area's craftsmen and an appetite for making a good business even better. Together, our mission is to make life easier for the area's craftsmen."
