and more efficient than any other product on the market at the time. Using the Contra, logging firms were able to increase their productivity by 200% and STIHL recorded double digit turnover growth.


In the years thereaſter, STIHL began to venture into the development of other products, including hedge trimmers, grass trimmers and pressure washers. As such, the STIHL name has become internationally known and is now a recognised mark of quality across all gardening tools. STIHL products are now exported to neighbouring European countries and across 160 countries worldwide.


Innovation has always been integral to the STIHL brand and ensures it stays up-to-date with current customer needs and demands. This innovation fuelled the development of high performance cordless machinery, resulting in manufacturing three collections of cordless tools – Lithium-Ion, Lithium-Ion Compact and Lithium-Ion Pro. Each offers the customers a solution for everything


from smaller gardens, larger outdoor spaces and right through to the largest gardens and professional applications.


In 2016, STIHL became proud sponsors of the Westonbirt Treetop Walkway. This innovative structure offers spectacular views of the arboretum’s 15,000 trees to all of its visitors and the inclusion of seven interactive hotspots gives visitors the chance to learn about the beautiful surroundings.


STIHL understands how important it is for everyone to have the right tools for the job, which is why working with the Tree Team at Westonbirt Arboretum makes perfect sense. Each member of the team can have the equipment they need to be able to maintain the arboretum all year round.
