We have opened our own factory for the first time and more than quadrupled our manufacturing and warehouse space.
The decision was made to move our operations and staff, of more than 40 people, to a new 4000m2 facility in China.
It will be the first time that Stiltz Lifts will operate separate production lines for each of its class of products – the Stiltz Duo Lift and Stiltz Trio Wheelchair Lift with a third production line to cater for excess demand of either type of lift.
When we moved to our previous factory in 2013 in China, it was 982m2 in size with no production lines and we employed six people.
But the new Stiltz Lifts factory is split into three levels with manufacturing on the ground floor, electrical and research and development on the second floor and a cafeteria and recreation area on the top floor.
Back in 2015, we had organised a mezzanine and a demountable office for R&D which is now located at the new factory.
The mezzanine has three lifts installed and is used for testing, installation training, and certification. All staff has received training from UL – a worldwide safety consulting and certification company.
The Stiltz Lift has also been tested and approved at the China facility by Liftinstituut – a leading certification organisation for lifts.
The decision to open a Stiltz Lifts factory follows our recent move to a new headquarters in the West Midlands and opening of a new sales office in Leeds.
Our own Director of Operations in China, James Gillespie says the opening of the new factory is a ‘big step’ for us. He said: “It’s the first time that Stiltz Lifts has moved to its own managed and operated manufacturing facility and we are very proud of reaching that milestone.
“The new factory will allow us to meet the demands of our trade partners around the world, while the bigger floor area gives our research and development team the space it requires to test and launch new home lift products in the future.”
Easy to arrange lots of information, No problems with fitting, payment taken in stages, last payment when job was completed. Everyone was friendly from start to finish.
My experience with Stiltz Homelifts. Just over a month ago, I had my Stiltz lift installed and I am so pleased with it. The workmen that came and fitted it were very professional and knew what they were doing. They were so professional I would not hesitate to recommend Stiltz lifts to anybody.
Great looking product, knowledgeable sales people, fitters work clean quickly and polite. Definitely recommend.
Great stylist lift, had for six months without a hitch. Installed by company staff not subcontractors. Cannot fault the lift, buying experience, installation, service. Good company ethos and made in UK.
From the very beginning with the initial construction to the finished product. I have never seen such polite men with an equal work ethic. They cleaned as they went each day. The pets were never in harm. The finished product is awesome. Couldn’t be more pleased
Excellent from beginning to end – and beyond.
Everybody we dealt with at Stiltz was very helpful and efficient, from the initial meeting with Nick Sale, the sales rep, thorough technical inspection, the builders, installers, plumber, electrician, and excellent follow up service and attention. My husband’s life is transformed and mine is much easier. Thank you Stiltz.
Elegant lift, promptly installed by careful and tidy fitters who removed their rubbish the following day. A fair price and an envied addition to our home.
I have been astounded and gratified by the levels of service we have received from every member of the Stiltz teams we have dealt with. A superb lift with exceptional service!
An excellent company from the first contact to the completed project. All personnel were friendly and very polite but stayed extremely professional throughout. Having been in the construction industry for over 40 years I was aware the preparation work was carried out to a high standard by the best of trades people. The lift itself can not be faulted both the operation and aesthetics.
The service was better than 1st class. It was excellent in every way. We could not be more pleased with everything Stiltz applied it’s self to in any way. We would award 6 stars at the very least.
Home lifts are a modern alternative to stairlifts, offering reliability, speed, capacity, and seamless aesthetic integration for a stylish and efficient solution.
Stiltz home lifts ensure safety with battery backups, obstruction sensors, self-closing doors, weight limit sensors, and ‘hold to run’ controls for a secure user experience.
Stiltz home lifts feature a battery backup for safe descents during power cuts, with an optional UPS for multiple trips during outages.
