Stihl opens new HQ

Environmentally friendly characteristics are a feature of Stihl GB’s new headquarters in Camberley.

Named Contra House after the original chainsaw invented by the manufacturer’s founder Andreas Stihl, the 11,500m2 facility has solar panels covering two-thirds of its roof area plus 21 electric vehicle charging points, and has achieved BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) certification for sustainability.

The new site includes dealer training facilities, collaborative workspaces, an on-site restaurant and a technical workshop.

The building also acts as the company’s product storage and distribution and Stihl says that the consolidation of logistics onto one site will streamline operations and give a more efficient delivery service.
