Retail STARK – Building Supplies Home / Retail / STARK – Building Supplie... STARK is one of the professional craftsmens preffered store in Denmark. Head of security at STARK said that they used to have huge problems with burglaries in their stores. This is due to the many expensive products located in the store, building materials, expensive tools and machines, which makes the area very profitable for a thief to rob, and it’s very expensive for STARK to replace the stolen items. The solution chosen to combat this problem was PROTECT Fog Cannons®. After the installation of security fog in their stores, STARKs losses due to burglary are significantly lower than it was before. The fog cannons even have a preventative effect and have also reduced the number of break-ins in general. Security manager of STARK speaks about security fog Kim Sørensen, Head of Security at STARK, commented: “STARK has 2,500 employees in its 88 Danish and 5 Greenlandic stores. STARK is the professional craftsman’s preferred shopping destination. Historically, we have had significant issues with burglaries in STARK because we have high-value items in small areas, making the yield from burglaries relatively high. Our solution to this has been fog, and it has actually proven that the yield from these burglaries is now much lower, and it has even had the preventive effect that they do not happen as frequently anymore.” “By having PROTECT Fog Cannon® as a part of our security system, STARK has moved from only being reactive to also being proactive. This means that we take measures to make sure the burglars make off with less when they attempt a break-in.” In some of the newer STARK stores, fog cannons has been installed from the outset. This helps them protect the expensive power tools, and it has already shown to be useful. There had been several break-in attempts. However, after the fog security system was installed, the thieves left almost empty handed. Kim Sørensen explained, “We are standing here in one of the newer STARK stores, which had fog security installed from the beginning. The fog security protects, among other things, the power tools, and fog security has already proven its effect here. There have been several burglary attempts against this store, where the fog has ensured that the yield was not very high. By having fog security as one of our security forms at STARK, we have now moved from being reactive to proactive. We ensure that the yield from the burglaries is now smaller, and this was a choice we made together with the supplier PROTECT. It is a supplier we can recommend to others and a choice we have never regretted.” Protect your business like STARK with PROTECT Fog Cannons® Contact us today to learn how you can proactively secure your assets and minimize losses.
