STIHL honors best suppliers in 2022 and recognizes sustainability suppliers for the first time
Thursday 29 June, 2023Waiblingen - Out of all its suppliers worldwide, STIHL has honored five companies
with the Supplier of the Year 2022 award. In addition, two firms have
been named Sustainability Supplier of the Year 2022, an accolade that
was presented for the first time. The winners were crowned on June 28,
2023, at the STIHL Brand World in Waiblingen, which will be officially
opened in July.
Every year since 1990, STIHL has been honoring the best suppliers for
their outstanding performance in terms of quality, technology,
innovation, service, and cost efficiency. In her speech thanking the
nominees and winners, Anke Kleinschmit, Executive Board Member for
Research and Development, emphasized that the success of the
family-owned business is also based on reliable partnerships. “Despite
difficult conditions, our joint efforts have enabled us to minimize the
effects of disrupted global supply chains on our production and to serve
the high demand for our products to the greatest extent possible. This
success is also due to our suppliers, who support us in challenging
times with their service, reliability, and commitment, and make us
optimistic about the future,” says Kleinschmit.
STIHL has presented the Supplier of the Year award since 1990. To date,
117 suppliers have received this distinction, some of them several times.
This year saw two accolades handed out for the first time in the special
category of sustainability. Through this new award, STIHL aims to honor
companies that show particular commitment in the area of sustainability,
which plays a key role in STIHL’s supply chain. When it comes to
responsible work and business practices, environmental action, and
transparency, the company places equally high demands on its suppliers
as it does on itself.
