IRL – The Irish company Goldstar, Dundalk, is expanding its business to Australia and New Zealand by taking over globalcatalogue, Sydney. The strategic step will strengthen the global reach of Goldstar and improve the product accessibility for sales partners worldwide, as the company reported at the beginning of March 2025. As a result of the combination between Goldstar’s expert knowledge and the deep, local roots of globalcatalogue, the partnership will pave the way for new possibilities and a better internationally networked industry.
With over four decades of experience and a well-versed team, globalcatalogue is to enhance Goldstar’s growing network with advanced, global order processing functions. Daniel Derofe will remain in place as General Manager and will ensure a smooth transition by offering the sales partners a diversified product portfolio and improved services.
“We’re thrilled to welcome globalcatalgoue to the Goldstar family,” said Heather Smartt, Global Head of Goldstar. “This collaboration presents an exciting opportunity for us to work together, making global business easier and aligning with our goal to support more distributors worldwide.” Daniel Derofe added: “We’ve built something special at globalcatalogue, and this next chapter with Goldstar takes it to the next level. There’s so much potential ahead!”
In the scope of its large scale, global growth strategy, Goldstar is now operating in North America, Europe and Oceania. The company is also further expanding its presence in Italy, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands and is thus strengthening its international range. According to company accounts, the theme sustainability continues to be of major importance. Goldstar is thus also cooperating with globalcatalogue to integrate ESG practices (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance) and improve the procurement of responsible raw materials regarding both the products and the operative business.
