What Stenner does
Stenner Ltd is a privately held UK industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1875 in Tiverton, Devon, specialising in wide band resaw machines for the timber processing industry. The company designs and builds custom-configured machines in five core categories — Radial Arm Resaws, Single Centre Cutting Resaws (VHE series), Tilting Single Centre Cutting Resaws (VHF36, ST10F), Twin Centre Cutting Resaws (VHET series with dual-blade configurations), and Multihead Horizontal Resaws (MHS series with thin-kerf technology) — plus Combination Resaws that integrate horizontal, vertical, and angle splitting in a single pass. Underlying technology includes high-precision hydraulic feed systems (variable speeds up to 100-120 m/min), PLC controls with touchscreen operator desks, an internet-enabled remote diagnostics capability, and a proprietary third-generation vegetable-based spray lubrication system (350+ units fitted). The company operates from a purpose-built facility opened in 2018 at Hartnoll Business Centre and employs 11-50 people, with several staff tenures exceeding 30 years.
Stenner's go-to-market combines direct factory sales for custom-engineered machinery with a global authorised dealer network spanning 35+ countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Australia, Canada, and Chile. Pricing is quote-based, built around customer specifications, with multi-year contract terms on machine sales. Ancillary revenue streams include a worldwide e-commerce spare parts shop (feed rollers, saw guides, scrapers, band saw lubricants — excluding the USA, handled via the in-house Spares Team) and a service business offering pulley re-crowning, retrofits, machine upgrades, and remote troubleshooting via a UK-based engineering team. Strategic alliances with Paul Maschinenfabrik GmbH (multirip/crosscut), Primultini (advanced sawmill machinery), and MPM Group (timber handling) extend the offering into integrated sawmill-line solutions.
The company serves a diversified customer base across sawmills, dry mills, joinery manufacturers, timber merchants, fencing and pallet producers, and planning mills in the UK and internationally. Notable end-customers referenced include Lancashire Saws Ltd (UK bandsaw blade manufacturer and servicer), T.O. Mounter and Sons (UK fencing producer), and VIRIX Prod SRL (Romanian sawmill). Stenner markets through industry exhibitions (Ligna Hanover, Prowood Ghent), its corporate website, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), and its online spare parts storefront. The firm is privately held with no institutional investors disclosed, and is led by Managing Director Gary Campbell (appointed 2025).
