Managing Director of Partner Limited, Sebastian Starosta, sat down with host of Talkin’ Shop, Tyler Kern, to discuss the partnership between Partner and Walbro.

Partner Limited is an industrial leader of machine parts located in Poland serving the diverse Europe area. Depending on the country, Partner operates as a B2B or B2C distributor according to that area’s needs.

Partner’s portfolio includes equipment parts for machines like lawn mowers and tractors, brush cutters, cattle saws, guzzling engines, and water pumps. They are an exclusive representative for several brands in the Polish and Europe market, like Walbro.

At Partner, a top priority is to remain relevant and competitive with new trends. One of those rapid-growing markets is cordless equipment. To fulfill this demand, Partner added batteries for cordless machines to their product offering.

As for what’s to come, Starosta believes guzzling equipment — or equipment that is engine-based and consumes fuel — will be a thing of the past and everything will switch to cordless.

“The industry changes very fast, and we have to try and adapt. I believe that we do it in a good way because the company is growing, and as I said, we do our best,” he explained. While Starosta fears the Russian war could influence the industry, the company has experienced 17% growth, and he feels optimistic about the future of Partner in the moment.

Partnering with Walbro since 2009, Partner hopes to become a hub for their partnership with the goal of doubling business. “Together, we should really create a fantastic future,” Starosta exclaimed.

HUD’s 24-month mass timber modular project goes after the cost driver: shipping the modules

HUD’s 24-month mass timber modular project goes after the cost driver: shipping the modules

HUD is funding a 24-month Washington State University project to redesign modular housing modules around transport and fast site assembly. Shipping is the design constraint. A 2023 Journal of Building Engineering review of 2009–2021 modular CLT projects suggests faster construction timelines, but logistics choices still decide feasibility.

  • 01In modular housing, transportation is becoming a first-order engineering spec, the module that is cheapest to build can still be the most expensive to move.
  • 02The 2023 review found 2D modular CLT projects were, on average, transported farther and built faster than 3D ones, so configuration choice shapes both transport reach and install time.

Insurance and moisture controls now dictate mass timber schedules

Insurance and moisture controls now dictate mass timber schedules

Mass timber can go up as little as one day per floor. But builder’s risk and property insurance can be harder to place and pricier, largely tied to moisture exposure during construction. Metropolis says mass timber is mainstreaming across North America.

  • 01The schedule advantage is real, but it is only bankable if the project has a funded moisture-control plan from mill to dry-in.
  • 02Insurance has become an early design input for mass timber, forcing owners to lock in risk controls and documentation before procurement.
  • 03For mid-rise and campus projects, mass timber’s headline benchmark is cycle time per floor, which shifts schedule risk onto crane picks, staging, moisture protection, and inspection windows.
