STILL France

What STILL France does

STILL France is the French subsidiary of STILL GmbH (Hamburg, Germany), itself part of the KION Group, and is one of the established intralogistics providers in the French market. Headquartered in Jossigny and operating for nearly a century, the company supplies electric and diesel forklifts, reach trucks, order pickers, stackers, pallet trucks, automated guided vehicles, and complementary warehouse management and storage systems. Its service offering spans the full equipment lifecycle — new equipment sales, short- and long-term rental (more than 5,000 trucks in the rental fleet), reconditioned used equipment, spare parts, and maintenance contracts — delivered through 12 regional directions and agencies across France and complemented by an e-commerce STILL Shop.

The technology stack is built around the proprietary iGo neo autonomous platform (autonomous order pickers, stackers, pallet trucks, and reach trucks), the FleetManager 4.x fleet management software, Smart Energy Unit and Blue-Q energy optimization, and lithium-ion and hydrogen fuel cell power systems. Adjacent systems include MMS warehouse management, Smart Portal IoT analytics, STILLPalletShuttle automated storage, and Safety/Load/Drive/Comfort Assist driver-assistance modules. The integration of hardware, software, and analytics into a single vendor stack is positioned as the core technical differentiator, validated externally by IFOY 2026 finalist status for a customized RX 60-50/600 accessibility solution.

Revenue is generated across five streams — new equipment (one-time sales), rental (subscription/recurring), used equipment (one-time), aftermarket services (parts, maintenance, contracts), and intralogistics systems (managed services including MMS and storage) — targeting eight industrial verticals: automotive, mechanical engineering, food and agriculture, large-scale retail, beverages, plastics, chemicals, and electronics. Go-to-market is predominantly enterprise field sales, supported by proximity service, digital marketing (website, blog, newsletter, social, LogiMAT exhibitions), and a growing direct online channel. Pricing is quote-based, with CARSAT/AMELI subsidies covering up to 70% of investment for eligible ergonomic equipment.
