STAROFIT 
FITTINGS SPECIALIST

Since being founded by Rüdiger Klose in 1975, STAROFIT Klose GmbH & Co. KG has always considered itself to be the fittings specialist . The primary focus is on worldwide sales and distribution of buttwelding elbows and fittings made of carbon steel and stainless steel.

45 years of STAROFIT – always fully stocked!

Since starting out 45 years ago, STAROFIT has become the pipe fitting specialist. Its “fully stocked warehouse policy” ensures that all fittings are permanently available from our own stock. 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.

Our products are in demand and used worldwide, especially in areas subject to compulsory monitoring, in plant construction, in shipbuilding and mechanical engineering, power plant construction, chemical plants, in steel and pipeline construction and in the petrochemical industry, etc.

At our premises, which cover an area of around 70,000 m² in Ganderkesee near Bremen, we store a unique variety of pipe fittings in more than 50,000 sizes and more than 100 different materials – depending on the requirements, especially for high or very low temperatures, extremely high pressures or aggressive media. Of course, standard designs are also constantly available from stock.

The unique variety of products, reliability, outstanding quality (due to highly stringent quality controls), excellent service and innovative thinking and actions are just as much a part of the STAROFIT mindset today as they were on the day the company was founded.



As a family-owned company, sustainability is at the core of our company policy.
