At the same time, the Waiblingen-based company opened its first battery plant in Romania while tightening budgets at its German sites. Those searching for a contradiction here are missing the real lesson: this is what loyalty to a location looks like in 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#202528;color:#fff;padding:32px 36px;margin:32px 0;border-radius:8px;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;font-size:0.95em;font-weight:800;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#c0392b;border-bottom:2px solid rgba(192,57,43,0.25);padding-bottom:12px;\">Key Takeaways<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:22px;color:rgba(255,255,255,0.92);line-height:1.6;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:10px;\"><strong style=\"color:#e74c3c;\">175 million for headquarters:<\/strong> Of the group\u2019s 335.7 million euros in investments in 2025, more than half flowed into Germany.

The STIHL Group grew its revenue to 5.48 billion euros in 2025, up from 5.33 billion the previous year. Its German headquarters-with eight sites-contributed 1.85 billion euros, a noticeable jump from 1.63 billion. The engine is running smoothly, even at the high-cost home base.<\/p>\n<p>What matters is where the capital goes. Of the group\u2019s 335.7 million euros in investments, around 175 million-more than half-went to the German headquarters, funding engine production and new facilities. A company betting its future abroad would allocate funds differently. STIHL invests where the value is already created.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:64px;margin-bottom:20px;\">Today, loyalty to a location is proven by contracts<\/h2>\n<p>Talk is cheap when it comes to commitments to a location-until it\u2019s backed by action. At the end of 2025, STIHL delivered real proof by extending its employment and site security agreement for its headquarters by two years, through the end of 2027. For mid-sized business leaders, this is what counts: a binding contract with employees, not a marketing statement.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an honest flip side to this. By the end of 2025, the headquarters employed 5,831 people, down from 6,064 a year earlier. Globally, the workforce grew to 20,246, while the home base saw a slight decline. STIHL is also running a cost-cutting program that will continue at least until the end of 2026. In 2026, loyalty to a location means investment and security agreements alongside a tighter cost structure. Those focusing only on headcount are missing the point.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:64px;margin-bottom:20px;\">Why the Romanian Plant Supports the Headquarters<\/h2>\n<p>The group\u2019s first production site outside its established locations is in Oradea. A 125 million Euro investment, construction began in March 2024, inauguration set for October 2025-built in under 18 months. The factory will exclusively produce battery packs and battery-powered equipment, with a planned capacity of one million battery packs by 2026 and significantly more by 2028.<\/p>\n<p>This is STIHL\u2019s response to the battery transformation reshaping its market. The new capacity in Romania doesn\u2019t compete with core production in Germany; it complements it by addressing a growing product segment. That\u2019s the art of the strategy: building new volumes where they make economic sense without undermining the headquarters. An overseas plant only becomes a problem when it replaces the home base instead of relieving it.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:64px;margin-bottom:20px;\">What Mid-Sized Companies Can Learn<\/h2>\n<p>The STIHL case serves as a blueprint because it highlights the classic dilemma facing German mid-sized businesses: high location costs, technological change, and the simultaneous need to preserve jobs and expertise in the country. STIHL demonstrates that both goals can be achieved-if the sequence is right.<\/p>\n<p>Three key takeaways apply across the board. First: If you want to retain your location, visibly invest in your core competencies instead of just managing costs. Second: A site security agreement builds trust with the workforce that no speech can replace. Third: Expanding capacity abroad is justified if it supports a growth segment and strengthens the home base. For executives facing similar strategic decisions, this offers a practical template.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:64px;margin-bottom:20px;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<details style=\"border:1px solid #e9ecef;border-radius:6px;margin-bottom:8px;background:#f8f9fa;\">\n<summary style=\"padding:14px 18px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;text-align:left;\"><strong>How much did STIHL invest in Germany in 2025?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p style=\"padding:0 18px 16px;color:#555;line-height:1.6;\">Of the group\u2019s total investment of 335.7 million Euros, around 175 million Euros-more than half-flowed into the German headquarters, including engine production and operational facilities.
