1990: The present - awakening in the East The start of the Nineties was, to a great extent, devoted to the expansion in the east. The disintegration of the previously monolithic Eastern bloc, German unification and the formation of new reform-minded democracies opened up new markets for sales
From the start STILL has aimed for long term, stable and trusting relationships with our Eastern customers and partners. This basic stance was one of the essential conditions for our rise to market leadership in the old East German states.
The foundation stone for the build-up in the East was laid in 1990 with the establishment of a sales office in Leipzig - soon to be followed by subsidiary companies in Hungary (1992), Czech Republic (1993) and Poland (1995). In the meantime links have been forged as far as Russia. The Eastern market has developed into a strong support. The way into the future for STILL has been made smooth.
With a product range geared to the requirements of industry, which stretches from heavy industrial trucks to warehousing equipment, and a total of 12 foreign companies plus a service network spanning the world, STILL today has become a byword for reliability and quality.
Still GmbH and its workers will continue on their adopted path and into the future following the motto of the firm's founder Hans Still:
"The solution to individual transport problems is our job. In the development of new transport techniques our aim is to meet tomorrow's requirements, today." |
