Celebrating 100 Years of STIHL

Trusted Since 1926

Since 1926, STIHL have been developing tools that make working in nature easier. From the wildest forests to the neatest gardens, their tools are made for people who master every challenge, with heart and soul. 

It all started with a chainsaw, and to this day, it’s still the product for which the STIHL brand is best known worldwide.

Ever since Andreas Stihl invented the first portable chainsaw, the STIHL name has stood for revolutionary technology, driven by significant investments in research and development and a single-minded passion for making people’s lives easier when working in nature. It’s because of this, that STIHL has been the world’s best-selling petrol chainsaw brand since 1971.

In 2026, STIHL celebrates its 100th anniversary, which is a tribute to all those who work in the world of STIHL. But it's more than just an anniversary of STIHL's history. It is their promise to continue developing innovative technology in the future.

Congratulations STIHL, and here's to the next 100 years!
