Stark Group strengthens its presence in Norway with the opening of a new, purpose-built flagship branch in Sarpsborg, south of the capital, Oslo. The branch is operated by the Group’s Norwegian company, Neumann Bygg, and marks the company’s 20th location in Norway – and the third in the fast-growing Eastern Norway region.
The new branch in Sarpsborg reinforces the company’s continued investment in strengthening its presence in growth areas around major cities.
The 6,300 m² branch combines Neumann’s comprehensive range of building materials with the expertise of Treprodukterost, the mouldings specialist acquired by Neumann in 2022. By bringing production, warehousing and sales under one roof, the Sarpsborg branch becomes a central hub for professional builders across Eastern Norway.
The branch is designed with a strong focus on sustainable solutions and is working towards achieving BREEAM certification in 2026. The rooftop features a solar installation with 1,480 panels and a capacity of 800 kWp. The system is expected to produce around 700,000 kWh annually, more than enough to cover the branch’s total energy consumption.
Stark Group is a leading business-to-business merchant and distributor of heavy building materials for the construction industry in Europe, with a strategic focus on serving professional builders from its more than 1,100 branches.
