Our History
Star Sales is a leading national distributor of fasteners, power tools and construction supplies. Founded in 1922, by Harry Star, it originated as a neighborhood hardware store in downtown Boston. During this time, Star Sales put an emphasis on quality and service which continues to be the forefront of our success.
In 1978, Harry’s son, George Star, acquired the business and moved it to our current corporate headquarters, a 55,000 sq. ft. facility in Woburn, Massachusetts. Located at the major highway exchanges of Route 95 and Interstate 93, Star Sales location facilitates our ability to continue to provide its neighborhood level of service to all of New England and the regional northeast. This expansion allowed Star Sales to increase its inventory lines in order to provide a broader selection of drywall and power tool products to our customers.
During this period, George developed strong relations with factories in the Far East and began importing drywall screws and fasteners. Star Sales quickly became a dominant supplier in the East Coast market.
George passed away in 1993 and nearly ninety years after its founding, senior management continues to successfully grow the business on a national level. Today, with additional branch locations in Baltimore, Sales Locations in North Carolina and the Mid West, Management has expanded on George Star’s original vision. The average tenure of our core employees is nearly thirty years. We are indeed a family and we treat our customers with the same regard.
From all of us at Star Sales, thank you for your patronage and friendship. Please enjoy our catalog and website.
