STIHL produces components and products for professional applications in Germany. We have a total of eight plants in the country: Three plants in Waiblingen, two in Ludwigsburg and one each in Fellbach, Weinsheim and Tengen. In addition, ANDREAS STIHL AG & Co. KG has its head office in Waiblingen. Plant 2 in Waiblingen is the largest production site in Germany and is home to an in-house battery production facility as well as our state-of-the-art development center, where we are working today on the innovations of tomorrow. Weinsheim is the site of one of the largest and most modern magnesium die-casting plants in Europe. In addition to high-quality magnesium components for our chainsaws and power tools, STIHL also produces magnesium die-cast parts in Weinsheim, for example for cars, e-bikes, computers, mobile phones and sports and household appliances.
Plant 1 houses “STIHL Brand World”, a company museum that brings STIHL to life for visitors to experience, offering them a knowledge platform on the topics of woodlands and forests. The site is also responsible for the production of crank drives and operating equipment, and home to the marketing, sales, and product management departments as well as parts of the human resources department.
This, our largest site in Germany in terms of number of employees, is home to our state-of-the-art development center, our purchasing division, and the production of plastic parts, guide rails and battery packs as well as assembly and production logistics, among other things.
Small but powerful: Our Tengen site has a family-like character. Although it is the smallest of our German sites in terms of number of employees, many important components are manufactured here, such as handlebars and brush knives. Electric saws are also assembled at this site.
Weinsheim is home to one of Europe’s most cutting-edge magnesium die-casting plants. STIHL Plant 4 not only produces lightweight and high-quality die-cast magnesium parts for STIHL chainsaws and power tools, but is also a supplier to companies in the automotive, motorcycle, bicycle and electrical industries as well as the medical technology segment.
From Germany to the big, wide world. It is here that STIHL products are assembled and shipped to our sales companies: Ludwigsburg is home to our central finished goods warehouse including packaging development as well as customs and freight forwarding.
Anyone who completes a technical vocational training course at STIHL is sure to become familiar with the training workshop at this plant. The scheduling, central management systems and legal departments also work here, among others.
Employees from the IT, finance and controlling departments work in Fellbach, just a few kilometers from the company’s Waiblingen headquarters.
