The STIHL Group generated record revenues of EUR 5.06 billion last year, an increase of 10.4% compared to 2022-2023. Even though global supply chain constraints and the unavailability of certain materials, production capacity and personnel had a significant impact on the procurement market, STIHL was still able to sustain production through proactive planning. Employment at the STIHL Group as at December 31, 2021 was 20,094 people.
Due to the great interest in garden and greenery care products, sales increased significantly.There has been an increased demand for both battery and combustion equipment. The demand for STIHL equipment among professional users in the forestry, construction, horticulture and landscaping industries was also just as high as among private customers.

STIHL's offer includes innovative STIHL AP cordless system products for professionals, such as the STIHL MSA 300 cordless chainsaw, the STIHL AP 500 S battery, the STIHL MSA 220 T cordless saw, and the STIHL BGA 300 cordless backpack blower.
