STAROFIT – Pipe Trade Specialist
Since its founding on 1 April 1975 by Rüdiger Klose (who continues as Managing Director to this day), STAROFIT has been a pipe trade specialist. The company focuses on the storage and distribution of elbows and butt-weld fittings made of steel and stainless steel.
In Ganderkesee near Bremen, Germany, we have 20,000 m² of storage space that houses fittings in more than 50,000 different sizes and more than 100 different materials – materials suitable for high and low temperatures, high pressures and aggressive media. Our products are used around the world in a range of industrial sectors, such as plant engineering, power station construction, shipbuilding, machine construction, pipe construction, petrochemistry, etc.
For more than 30 years now, STAROFIT has specialised in butt-weld fittings. STAROFIT’s “full warehouse” policy – we have (virtually) everything in stock – provides our customers with a key market advantage.
