Still marks anniversary
Hamburg, GermanyStill GmbH has celebrated its 90th anniversary with a "big family party" at its company premises in Hamburg.
Still was founded as a repair shop for electric motors by Hans Still in 1920. He quickly recognised the need for logistics solutions for the growing transportation of goods. The company achieved initial success by building mobile power generators but its electric materials handling vehicles in the 1950s moved it towards its present direction. Still also created a mobile service fleet in the '40s. Today, Still has 1,900 service engineers and technicians in Europe.
