About STIHL
In 1926, STIHL designed and built the first two-person electric chain saw. Its portability revolutionized the forestry industry. Today, its products – found in more than 160 countries – make work easier for consumers and people working in forestry, agriculture, landscape maintenance, and construction sites.
In the 1970s, STIHL opened a 20,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Virginia Beach, Virginia, beginning with just 50 employees assembling chain saws. Today, 2,100 employees, working in over one-million-square-feet of operating space, manufacture millions of powerheads every year. In this state-of-the-art facility, skilled employees, with the assistance of highly automated technology, work together to produce more than 80 models of STIHL equipment through vertically integrated processes and extensive quality assurance checks.
