What STILL does
STILL is a German intralogistics company founded in 1920 in Hamburg and now operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of KION GROUP AG. The company designs, manufactures, and services a comprehensive portfolio of material handling equipment and automation solutions, including electric and combustion forklifts (RX, RCE, RC, RX 70 series with capacities from 1.0t to 8.0t), reach trucks (FM-X), platform trucks and tugger trains (LTX series, STILL LiftRunner), low-lift pallet trucks (EXV, EXH, EXD), order pickers (OPX, PXV), and narrow aisle trucks (MX-X). Its automation stack is anchored by the proprietary iGo family: iGo pilot (semi-automated narrow-aisle guidance), iGo neo (AI-based autonomous operator-following), and iGo systems (fully driverless multi-truck coordination), complemented by specialized AGVs such as AXL iGo (3D Visual SLAM/LiDAR autonomous truck loading) and MX-X iGo. Supporting technology includes STILL Li-Ion battery systems, Blue-Q energy efficiency program, STILL Performance System drive electronics, and fleet management software (Fleetmanager, neXXt fleet).
The company monetizes through a diversified revenue model spanning new truck sales (hardware), short- and long-term rental (managed services), certified used equipment, maintenance contracts and original parts (professional services), recurring fleet management subscriptions, and intralogistics consulting. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year enterprise contracts; distribution is via direct enterprise field sales with regional subsidiaries and branches across 50+ countries, supplemented by seven owned manufacturing sites in Germany, Italy, China, France, and Brazil. STILL's primary customers are enterprise manufacturing and logistics operations across automotive (Audi, BMW, Beiersdorf), floor coverings (Tarkett), retail/home goods (CASA International), chemicals (Kuraray Trosifol), and logistics services (Hartmann International). The go-to-market is anchored by on-site technical consultants who guide customers from analysis through implementation, with large-scale automation projects often co-delivered with sister company Dematic under the KION Group umbrella. Research partnerships with Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, University of Toronto, Bosch, Siemens, and Nokia on the ARIBIC and IC4F programs signal continued investment in AI-driven indoor cartography and 5G-enabled industrial communications for the next generation of autonomous intralogistics.
