STIHL is the world's largest selling brand of chainsaws. They also manufacture over 150 other products at their U.S. plant. Keeping the brand in front of consumers has made it "The Biggest Little Brand in America. "You'll soon find out "Why?"
STIHL's strategy has been to embrace and champion their more than 8,000 dealers who offer top-notch service after the sale, which is something you won't find at Lowes' or the Home Depot. Meridian's task has been to augment the multi-million dollar advertising effort with strong media stories and trade messaging.
In an arguably down economy, STIHL opened up a new plant in Virginia Beach that created many new jobs and earned a visit from Hans Peter Stihl. Stihl remains a showcase for the city’s Economic Development Department.
