Overview
Stannah designs and makes stairlifts, home lifts and commercial lifting equipment for households, building owners and transport operators. Its stairlifts follow straight or curved stairs, while its home lifts carry people vertically between floors without a staircase rail. The group also supplies passenger and goods lifts, escalators and moving walkways for public and commercial buildings. It earns revenue from equipment sales and installation, stairlift rentals and reconditioned models, plus maintenance, repairs and modernisation through subsidiaries and trade partners. Founded in 1867, Stannah is headquartered in Andover, Hampshire, United Kingdom.
