STIHL Southwest Celebrates 50 Years

Words: Dan Kamys  As STIHL SOUTHWEST celebrates its 50th anniversary in the industry, they are commemorating the five decades that have gotten them to where they are now. STIHL SOUTHWEST is celebrating each of the five decades with its own special event to remember those parts of their journey. STIHL SOUTHWEST wants to show recognition for the network of the strong and successful STIHL retailers throughout Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and east Texas for helping them thrive over the last 50 years. STIHL SOUTHWEST also plans to reward, inspire, and honor those STIHL dealers who have been supporting them. Each of the events will be posted on the celebration website: www.50thSSW.com, which also shares the history, recollection, and photographs over the years from STIHL. To kick off the anniversary celebration, STIHL SOUTHWEST is giving away a $5,000 merchandising credit to one dealer in each of its six sales territories. Each winner will receive a custom review of their STIHL merchandising system and up to $5,000 toward a merchandising installation, upgrade or expansion! Enter to win here.
