STARK group chief strategy officer to speak at European Builders Merchants Conference

Mathias Lönneker, chief strategy officer and executive vice president of STARK Group, has been confirmed as the keynote speaker at the UFEMAT European Builders Merchants Conference, taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark in September.

The conference will also mark the conclusion of BMF CEO, John Newcomb’s 6-year term of office as President of UFEMAT.

John Newcomb, UFEMAT President and BMF CEO, said: “I’m delighted that Mathias will speak at my final conference as UFEMAT President.  STARK Group has a proud 125-year history in Denmark and became the largest builders’ merchant in the Nordic region in the early 2000s.  But I am most interested in hearing about its most recent transformation into the biggest building materials distributor in Northern Europe.

“I’m sure that many others in the BMF’s merchant and supplier community will want to join me at this year’s UFEMAT Conference, which takes place from 26 to 28 September.”

The UFEMAT Conference brings together builders’ merchants, building material suppliers and trade bodies from across Europe.
