STIHL remains on growth course STIHL group records growth in unit sales and turnover In the first eight months of the current year the STIHL group achieved a turnover of € 1.099 billion, which represents a rise of 6.5 percent over the same period last year. This is due to a clear increase in unit sales. Had the euro/dollar exchange rate remained unchanged over the previous year, group turnover would have risen by more than 10 percent.
