History
Joseph Stannah founded the company in London in 1867. Initially, a manufacturer of cranes and hoists for transporting ships' cargo, the company began to make hand-powered passenger lifts at the turn of the 20th century.
Stannah Lifts moved from London to Andover in 1974, produced its first stairlift in 1975, and began exporting in 1979.
Products
Stairlifts & Homelifts
The company's stairlift division manufactures new stairlifts as well as reconditioning old units. Models are produced for both straight, curved and external staircases, with all units using a rail fitted to the stair tread.
Commercial lifts
Stannah is a UK supplier of lift products supplying passenger and platform lifts, goods and service lifts, and escalators & moving walkways for all types of buildings, alongside providing maintenance and repair services.
Escalators - 3rd Party
Although Stannah manufacture and install their own escalators, but they also import and install escalators from different countries, such as Hong Kong. They install ANLEV escalators in TfL stations such as Tottenham Hale, Paddington, and supermarkets (ASDA, Tesco & Sainsburys).
Lifts - 3rd Party
Besides escalators, they also import and install lifts from different brands located in different countries. They install Shanghai Mitsubishi (subsidiary of Mitsubishi Electric) lifts in London Luton Airport. During the late 2000s, Stannah also installed ThyssenKrupp ISIS MRLs in the United Kingdom after ThyssenKrupp discontinued the model in Europe. Stannah used leftover stock from ThyssenKrupp for this reason, continuing a years-long parthership that started with Thyssen sharing parts. [6]
Corporate
Since its foundation, the company has remained a family-run business. At present, six fifth-generation members of the family maintain a 100% shareholding in the company.
