Last Updated on: 22nd November 2023, 10:07 am

STIHL has honored five companies and two firms with the Supplier of the Year and Sustainability Supplier of the Year awards for 2022 respectively. The accolades were presented at the STIHL Brand World in Waiblingen on June 28, 2023.

Anke Kleinschmit, Executive Board Member for Research and Development, thanked the nominees and winners in her speech for their outstanding performance in terms of quality, technology, innovation, service, and cost efficiency. She also spoke about the importance of reliable partnerships in the success of the family-owned business. “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,” she said.

The five winning Suppliers of the Year 2022 are Dätwyler Schweiz AG (Schattdorf, Switzerland), Infineon Technologies AG (Neubiberg, Germany), Kaltband AG (Reinach, Switzerland), LANXESS Performance Materials GmbH (Cologne, Germany), and ODW-ELEKTRIK GmbH (Steinau an der Straße, Germany). The two Sustainability Suppliers of the Year 2022 are Eirenschmalz Maschinenbaumechanik und Metallbau GmbH (Schwabsoien, Germany) and EJOT SE & Co. KG (Bad Berleburg, Germany).

STIHL has been presenting the Supplier of the Year award since 1990 and 117 suppliers have so far been honored with the distinction. This year marks the first time that two firms have been recognized with the Sustainability Supplier of the Year accolade.

Dr. Stefan Caspari, Head of Corporate Communications and Public Relations at STIHL, said: “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.”

Press releases and pictures related to the awards are available for download from the STIHL website.
