Stihl Chainsaws and Garden Products

STIHL Pty Ltd became part of the STIHL network in 1971, with responsibility for marketing and distribution in Australia and the Pacific Islands.

STIHL Pty Ltd was the first subsidiary company established by the STIHL Group outside Europe, and is currently the sixth largest in annual turnover, employing around a hundred staff. 

The Company is headquartered in Victoria and has state offices in NSW, QLD, SA and WA.

STIHL Pty Ltd operates a Quality management system that is certified to AS/NZS ISO 9001:2000.

To buy STIHL equipment is to buy a total package of product and service. The STIHL range of chainsaws and garden care products is only sold through Specialist Dealers -who carry not only products, but spare parts and accessories, and have workshop staff trained by STIHL technicians. In this way, consistent, expert service is built into every product sold. It is this commitment to the customer and the product in both pre-delivery and after-sales service that positions STIHL so strongly in the market.

Historically, STIHL's products were Chainsaw based, with a farmer and professional bias. Over the last fifteen years, product developed for the domestic market has been introduced, in recognition of the need to grow the company by expanding the product range and broadening market orientation.

The STIHL product portfolio now also includes Brushcutters, Linetrimmers, Blowers, Hedgetrimmers, Cut-off machines, Earth Augers, High Pressure Cleaners, safety clothing, and various accessory items.

STIHL is the world's leading brand of chainsaws and is a market leader in the outdoor power equipment industry. It owes this achievement to three main factors:

Strict adherence to product quality standards Innovative product design based on the needs of the market. Heavy emphasis on reliable spare parts and service back-up through a Servicing Dealer Network.

STIHL Pty Ltd recognises and accepts its responsibilities as a good corporate citizen. The nature of the equipment STIHL manufactures and its use in the natural environment means operational safety and environmental considerations are ever-present. STIHLs' concern for safety is paramount and it leads the world in developing safeguards for users and bystanders, as well as the environment in which we all live.

Environmental considerations have also influenced the design of STIHL products, to reduce noise and the risk of fire. STIHL actively encourages the planting and cultivation of trees through sponsorship of agro-forestry and community tree-planting programs, while our engineers are constantly striving to produce safer and environment-friendly products.
