150 years of engineering excellence

Posted to on Share:

This year, Stannah, the British, family-owned engineering company, celebrates its 150th anniversary. Throughout 2017 there will be a host of events, initiatives and online resources to encourage staff, customers and the public to celebrate this landmark in British engineering.

Established in 1867 by Joseph Stannah, the company first made its name making hoists and cranes for London’s dockyards. During WW2, the Stannah factory was destroyed. Having to rebuild the business from scratch, using just their reputable family name, the Stannah generations that followed began to build the household name it is today.

A timeline of this fascinating history, interviews with the Stannah family and exclusive heritage images can be seen on Stannah’s new 150 web page www.stannahlifts.co.uk/150

When asked, what reaching this milestone means to the Stannah family, Jon Stannah, group MD and descendant of Joseph Stannah, said: “It means a great deal. Family is all about generations and the legacy left behind. We are very lucky to know the history of our family and to see it sustaining the families of our 1700 employees is humbling. This celebration is not just about the Stannah family, but also about the wider family that is the Stannah corporation.”

The Stannah product and services portfolio now includes homelifts; platform, passenger, service and goods lifts; stairlifts; escalators; moving walkways; loading systems and maintenance services delivered locally from 11 nationwide locations.
