Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • STARC made the 2026 Inc. 5000 for the fourth time on August 11.
  • The May 2026 Brunswick expansion directly supports nationwide demand and faster shipping.
  • North Branch’s 2023 majority investment and Blue Heron’s 2026 exit validate buyer appetite.

What critics are saying

  • SwiftWall, Temporary Wall Systems, and Trusscore pressure pricing across modular containment by 2026.
  • STARC’s growth depends on regulated renovation spending at hospitals, airports, and data centers.
  • Cheaper disposable barriers can commoditize the category and crush margins within three years.

What makes STARC Systems unique

  • STARC’s 107,000-square-foot Brunswick plant scales reusable walls, not disposable drywall, for occupied renovations.
  • FireblockWall and RealWall target healthcare, airports, and data centers with certified containment.
  • Two installers can deploy 100 feet in an hour, beating disruptive stick-built barriers.

STARC Systems named to Inc. 5000 for fourth time.

STARC Systems named to Inc. 5000 for fourth time. August 11, 2026 Maine manufacturer ranks No. 2,676 nationally, No. 76 in Manufacturing and No. 7 among Maine companies. BRUNSWICK, Maine - Aug. 11, 2026 - STARC Systems, a leading manufacturer of reusable temporary construction wall systems, has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies. The recognition marks STARC's fourth appearance on the prestigious annual list, ranking No. 2,676 nationally, No. 76 in Manufacturing and No. 7 among Maine companies. The recognition reflects STARC's continued growth as contractors and facility owners increasingly turn to reusable temporary construction walls as an alternative to traditional temporary drywall. Designed to install quickly, adapt to changing project needs and be reused across project phases and jobsites, STARC temporary wall systems help construction teams reduce disruption, labor dependencies and waste while improving the experience for people on both sides of the wall. "Making the Inc. 5000 once is an accomplishment. Earning a place on the list four times says something bigger about our team, our customers and the opportunity ahead of us," said Chris Vickers, CEO. "We're seeing more construction leaders recognize that temporary containment doesn't have to be treated as a disposable project expense. It can be a reusable system that helps teams work faster, operate more predictably and deliver a better experience for their customers." STARC manufactures its reusable temporary wall systems at its headquarters in Brunswick, Maine. Its solutions are used in occupied and sensitive construction environments including healthcare facilities, airports, data centers, hospitality properties and other commercial spaces. The company's product portfolio includes RealWall(TM), LiteBarrier(TM), FireblockWall(TM) and StackBarrier(TM), providing contractors with solutions for a wide range of project configurations, performance requirements and environments. STARC's continued growth comes as construction leaders face persistent pressure to improve project predictability, address skilled labor constraints and reduce waste. Increasingly, large contractors are also looking beyond individual project performance to solutions that can be standardized and deployed repeatedly across projects, regions and portfolios. STARC's reusable systems are designed around that need: a versatile lineup that enables crews to install, reconfigure and reuse containment rather than repeatedly building and disposing of temporary drywall. The benefits extend beyond project schedules and economics. Reuse can significantly reduce construction waste: reusing 100 linear feet of STARC walls five times saves an estimated five tons and 9.3 cubic yards of landfill waste. STARC's U.S.-based manufacturing plant is also serviced by 100% renewable energy, and its solutions are recyclable up to 95% by weight at the end of their lifecycle. "Growth for us has always come back to solving real problems on the jobsite," Vickers added. "If we can help a contractor start faster, reduce dependencies, keep an active facility running and then use that same investment again on the next project, we're creating value that goes well beyond a temporary wall. That's what continues to drive adoption." The Inc. 5000 ranks the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States based on percentage revenue growth over a three-year period, from 2022 to 2025. The 2026 recognition places STARC among those independent businesses demonstrating sustained growth across industries and markets nationwide. About STARC Systems. STARC Systems is a leading provider of reusable temporary wall systems designed to eliminate the disruption of renovation.
