(PRESS RELEASE) FREDERIKSBERG, 30-Jan-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — STARK Group’s Swedish business, Beijer Byggmaterial, announces the inauguration of the first phase of building one of Sweden’s most modern builders’ merchants. This marks a significant milestone as the largest single investment by Beijer in a facility and part of a substantial investment in the growth region around Gothenburg, which is Sweden’s second-largest city.

The refurbishment of the branch, which has stood at the same location since the 1950s, is a testament to Beijer’s strategic efforts to fortify its presence in the western region.
