STARK Rent, located at our service points operating in connection with our building materials stores, provides machine rental service for builders in growth centers.
Together with our customers and partners, we want to build a better tomorrow. Our professionals have served Finnish builders for more than 150 years. Our professionals help our customers find the right solutions for their situation. We develop our builders’ service, range of building products and service solutions to best benefit our builder customers, from logistics to carefully selected building materials. We are proud of our customers’ success and feel that we play an important part in it.
STARK – fairly and squarely on the builder's side
We are a fair and reliable partner for every builder who does their work with passion and uncompromising professional pride. In Finland, there are approximately 1,100 of us, and our national network of 27 stores, four distribution depots and online stores serve our customers regardless of time and place.
Our revenue for the 2021 financial year was EUR 612 million, and our market share is nearly 20%. STARK has strong historical ties with Finland, but thanks to our being part of the largest construction-sector enterprise in the Nordic countries, STARK Group, our resources are not restricted to Finland. As a large enterprise, we are able to create added value for our Finnish customers.
