Andreas Stihl designed and hand built his first chainsaw in 1926. The saw was electrically powered, and weighed about 48 kg (106 lb). Stihl grew slowly initially, as the chainsaws came to the market about the same time as the Great Depression; with manpower cheap, and old two-man saws proven, there was no need for power saws. In 1930, Stihl created the first ever chainsaw that could be operated by only one person. The company continued to grow and in 1931 it became the first European company to export chainsaws to the United States and the Soviet Union. More information...
