A rapidly-growing USA dealer network is driven out of the Bethlehem, PA head office. This is where Stiltz is pilot an exciting, innovative and highly-successful franchise development program.
Several key accounts based in Germany, Netherlands, Australia and China contribute to the company's significant growth with other EMEA, South American and Far Eastern territories developing quickly too.
The Stiltz Homelift is designed solely for use in the domestic environment and uses unique dual-rail technology to ensure the lift is freestanding in the home and doesn't require load bearing walls.
