STIHL, a frontrunner in outdoor power equipment, celebrates its 100th anniversary, tracing its origins to a one-man workshop in Stuttgart, Germany, founded by Andreas Stihl in 1926. The company revolutionized the forestry industry by inventing the first portable electric chainsaw, setting a new benchmark for safety and efficiency.

Privately owned since 1971 as the leading chainsaw brand, STIHL's journey to become a global powerhouse was accelerated under Hans Peter Stihl, who expanded its international operations. The company now boasts advanced production facilities and a broad product lineup catering to professionals worldwide.

Dr. Nikolas Stihl emphasizes the importance of innovation alongside honoring the company's rich heritage. Celebrating a centenary of achievements, STIHL's global network extends across eight countries, supporting specialized retail and service networks.
