What Stokvis Equipment does

Stokvis Equipment B.V. (legal entity Stokvis Equipment (Nederland) BV), headquartered in Deventer, Netherlands, is a private B2B distributor of premium automotive workshop equipment. The company operates as the exclusive Dutch channel for Stertil Group brands Stertil-Koni (heavy-duty vehicle lifts) and, since December 2023, Nussbaum (light-duty lifts), as well as Beissbarth (test, measurement, and ADAS calibration) since January 2025. It also distributes Hofmann (wheel-service equipment, part of Snap-on), Mondolfo Ferro (truck and agricultural tire equipment), and complementary lines including AC Hydraulic, Ahcon, Corghi, Tecnolux, Robinair, AVL, Haweka, DEA Worklab, and Master. Its product portfolio spans tire mounting/demounting machines, wheel balancers, 3D wheel alignment systems, ADAS calibration equipment, two-post and scissor lifts, heavy-duty lifting columns and runway lifts, workshop jacks, wheel dollies, and A/C service stations, covering passenger car, truck/bus, and agricultural vehicle segments.

The company generates revenue through one-time capital-equipment sales, supplemented by installation, maintenance, and NEN-ISO inspection revenue through its sister company Stokvis Service (combined headcount of nearly 100). Distribution is direct via four regional account managers (West, Noord, Midden, Zuid) and specialized technical-commercial advisors for Agri/GWW/Groen and Heavy Duty segments, with consultative quotation-based pricing. Anchor customers include large automotive dealership groups such as Van Mossel Rotterdam (44-lift, three-site fit-out) and Jaguar Land Rover Kroymans Hilversum. Stokvis Equipment is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stertil Group, whose ultimate parent is Citadel Enterprises; the company has no independent external funding or public listing.

The technology underlying the distributed products includes electro-hydraulic heavy-duty lifting (Stertil-Koni HDLT-20, 2,000 kg, with 17 mechanical locking positions), regenerative wireless mobile lifting columns (EARTHLIFT), web-based 3D wheel alignment with Li-Ion cordless operation (Beissbarth Q.Lign, BMW-approved globally), camera-based ADAS calibration with motorized height adjustment (Q.DAS Pro, up to 2,050 mm), and patented tire-bead stress reduction (Incline system, up to 50% reduction; Monty T-Matic PRO). All proprietary technology, patents (EARTHLIFT, VARIFLEET, JUMBO Double Scissors), and OEM homologations reside with the upstream brands rather than with Stokvis Equipment itself.
