Timeline

We invite you to take a brief look back at over 110 years of STAHL laundry machines. In our timeline you can learn more about the most important milestones in our company history. 

History

For over 100 years, we have exclusively developed, designed and produced
commercial laundry systems

Through our experience and expertise, we know what our customers want: Our machines guarantee maximum flexibility, thorough and simultaneously gentle handling of your textiles and minimal energy and water consumption. A principal focus in the design and production of our laundry machines is the robustness of our products. That is why we can proudly say that many of our machines are still in daily use after 20 years and longer. Much has changed in the last 110 years but we have always remained true to our basic principles: Quality, longevity and innovation.
