STAROFIT is a major supplier for steel,
alloy steel and stainless steel elbows
and buttwelding fittings in Europe, and

started distributing buttwelding fittings
with a staff of three and a storage facility
of 250m

.
STAROFIT’s commitment to deliver
high quality goods and services has
allowed it to enjoy nearly four decades
of growth. The company now employs
over 60 highly skilled professionals and
operates advanced storage facilities on
an area of 70,000m
2
.
While the company has evolved in scale,
its philosophies remain – it believes in its
comprehensive product range, rigorous
quality control and reliability assurance,
and international orientation.
These philosophies are its core values
and it incorporates them in its day-to-
day business to offer customers the
best possible solutions.
STAROFIT’s holdings range from large
stocks of ASME and EN/DIN stand-
ardised products to highly specialised
elbows and fittings with extreme wall
thicknessesandexceptional dimensions.
It also specialises in demand-based
tailor-made elbows and fittings to cater
for complex requirements, providing
products that are sustainable under
extreme conditions (eg temperature,
pressure and mediums). Coupling
product diversity with its know-how,
STAROFIT is able to provide rapid
deliveries to its customers and give
them the competitive edge they need in
any fast-paced market.
STAROFIT has a permanent fittings
stock of 6,500 tons, which enables
it to provide prompt responses to its
customers’ requests and process their
orders rapidly. Its in-house production
specialises in small batch production
of customised products made from
round bar and machining elbows and
fittings per customer requirement. Its
ability to fulfil unique requests, even
at short notice, provides its customers
with an additional advantage.
STAROFIT is certified according to
ISO 9001, PED 97/23/EC and
AD2000-W 0 and allows its products
to be installed in plants subject to
monitoring.
STAROFIT has always laid an emphasis
on quality and says that it achieves
this through total quality management.
Its rigorous supplier selection process
allows only products from ISO, PED
and TÜV approved manufacturers to be
accepted. All incoming goods undergo
meticulous product testing to qualify
for the STAROFIT-Standard. To ensure
accuracy, the procedure requires
that the dimensions and markings
be catalogued, and the chemical
compositions be tested.
STAROFIT said that it highly values
the trust that its customers place in it.
Therefore, when requested to deliver
goods on behalf of its customers, which
consist entirely of resellers, it aims to
provide services that help strengthen
the relationship between customers and
their end clients.
Having served customers worldwide
since the beginning of its business,
it has acquired extensive international
business know-how in the piping
industry. Its experience allows it to fulfil
its customers’ demands regardless of
the complexity.
STAROFIT considers its customers as
partners and is continuously looking for
new international partnerships.
