Happy holidays
The sunrise, the promise of a new day, remembering how beautiful nature is in these first moments of the day were the inspiration for the STIHL 2024 calendar made available by Colombia to all countries that wish to use it.
All images were created using artificial intelligence – becoming the first project in Latin America with this technology.
“We were very pleased with the result. I hope everybody enjoys it as much as we did,” said Madelen Marín Restrepo, Marketing Coordinator.

STIHL battery products combine power, technology, mobility and convenience, with zero gas emissions and low noise level. They are ideal for those who wish to work easy and comfortably with excellent performance.
The combo GTA 26 garden pruner and the HSA 26 shrub cutter is an excellent tip for a Christmas gift. They use the same battery and complement each other to perform the gardening work.
With outstanding handling balance, it relies on high cutting power and longer-lasting battery (when compared to the previous model HSA 25), not requiring any tool to change blades during its use.
It makes it easier for home users to perform simple tasks in residential gardens. With great ergonomics and easy to handle, it stands out for its high cutting performance.
In the Latam app, you can find web banners of different sizes and a post for social media to advertise the GTA 26 and HSA 26 duo in your region.

The manifest-video, released on January 11th, anniversary date of STIHL in Brazil, was the big driver of the 50 years campaign. The tagline “The strength to develop stories” was used in all brand communications in the country.
Mr Hans Peter Stihl, son of the brand’s founder, gave an exclusive interview on the beginning of the production in Brazil. You can watch it on video in English.
The webseries “Ideas that Flourish in the Amazon” portrayed the work of the program Community Forests, performed by the Tropical Forest Institute (IFT) with the support of STIHL, at the Arióca Pruanã Extractive Reserve. In 5 episodes, the content broadcast on the brand’s YouTube channel showed how sustainable handling can generate income while protecting the forest at the same time.
In addition to the traditional stories of end customers, which are told on the brand’s YouTube channel, other audiences also told their trajectories this year, such as resellers, participants of social projects and collaborators.
Exclusive items were produced to highlight the 50th anniversary of the brand in Brazil, becoming a success in fairs and stores countrywide.

Win new customers, increase battery line sales, expand the sustainability theme. With these objectives, STIHL moves forward in all countries in the gardening segment. Check out recent initiatives promoted in Argentina and Guatemala.
STIHL Argentina participated in a fair promoted by the Garden magazine and La Nación Events which gathers landscape market trends, with lots of green areas and attractions related to sustainability. “We presented the brand’s products, especially the benefits from the battery line. It was a very special moment for us to get even closer to occasional users and to follow the role played by women in gardening,” tells Maria Mercedes Barbieri, from the country’s Marketing team. The event was promoted in the beginning of the spring and everyone that visited the STIHL stand received a plantable bookmark with the question “what is spring to you?”
In Guatemala, Comeca created a gardener’s club to better position STIHL in the residential segment and reach the 15% goal of extra sales in the battery line until the end of the year. “We started the first stage of this project in the capital city and in 2024 we will reach more cities in the country with environmental concern,” explains Alex Guzmán, brand Manager. Participants of the club receive technical and practical capacitation, landscaping tips and have the option to join a loyalty program that offers 10% discount in battery products. In five months, the results were already impressive: 10% sales increase in the segment and thousands of social media interactions.

Who’s the potential customer in the gardening segment? What are their needs, demands, attitudes, and purchasing habits? Unravelling these answers is crucial for the STIHL Group’s success in the present, and mainly into the future.
That is why a research with 12 thousand occasional gardeners from 10 different countries was held by the brand and presented this year during the Sales and Marketing Growth and Transformation Workshop, in July, in Brazil.
Let’s remember 5 important points of this study that classified four types of gardeners: soul, ostentatious, evasive and pragmatic.

STIHL’s battery products combine power, technology, mobility and convenience, all of it without any gas emissions and low noise level. They are ideal for those who wish to work easily, with comfort and excellent performance.
The portfolio is getting increasingly bigger, with options for all niches: from chainsaws to vacuum cleaners, customers’ demands are fully met, both for occasional and professional use.
Especially when compared to petrol models, the economy is guaranteed: the more STIHL’s battery products are used, the greater the economy.
Another highlight is the fact that STIHL has its own line of chargers and batteries. The tools are compatible with different batteries, and the choice will depend on its use and time of use. It’s the perfect solution to perform the work.

One of the greatest highlights among all presentations of the Sales and Marketing Growth and Transformation Workshop, held in July in Brazil, was unquestionably the presentation from Mr Joachim Burandt, Senior Vice-President of Sales for the STIHL Group. He presented the Company’s “battery first” strategy. A significant growth in the battery line has already been identified in large portions of global markets in comparison to motor units, especially in North America, Europe, and Oceania. As of 2027, we expect even greater advances. “The technology changes, our new competitive environment, customers’ expectations, the digital transformation in the way we work and interact are constant challenges of the last few years. But we are confident that, with the level of experience and ambition of STIHL’s personnel, whether in the markets or in the Head Office, and with all the measures taken and planned, we are going to proceed in our successful journey,” he stated.
STIHL seeks to broaden the market of the battery line both in the professional segment and with consumers in general. However, the professional segment is a priority. To do so, its strategy is to increase the range of products in the AP system, focusing more on the sales teams and dealerships, among other initiatives. The main objective is to win new customers and keep the petrol line consumers during this change.
