Andreas Stihl
Andreas Stihl was the founder of the Stihl company, which revolutionized the forestry industry by developing the first portable chainsaw in 1926. His innovative design transformed the way trees were felled, moving away from labor-intensive methods requiring only manual tools. Today, Stihl is recognized as the world's leading manufacturer of chainsaws, known for their engineering excellence and safety features. Despite the company's success, Stihl's descendants express concern over the negative associations with chainsaws in political discourse, preferring to focus on their products' practical applications rather than any radical imagery.
