STIHL Distribution Changes in Ireland

Effective 1st January 2027

From 1st January 2027, the STIHL Group will begin distributing its full range of chainsaws, garden machinery, accessories, and spare parts directly in Ireland.

This follows a planned transition from the current distributor in Ireland who have distributed the STIHL brand in Ireland for over 20 years. STIHL has confirmed that the current distributor will cease to be the exclusive distributor for Ireland at the end of 2026, as STIHL moves to a direct distribution model under the management of STIHL Great Britain.

What This Means for Irish Dealers and Customers

STIHL has stated that this transition will be carefully managed to ensure no disruption to customers, dealers, or the availability of STIHL products.

• ✅ No interruption to the supply of STIHL machinery, accessories, or spare parts.
• ✅ Currently all existing servicing STIHL dealers will continue to provide full warranty and after-sales support.
• ✅ STIHL will maintain a complete stock of genuine spare parts for both current and legacy machines.
• ✅ The familiar STIHL service and reliability that customers expect will remain unchanged.

This move is part of STIHL’s long-term strategy to strengthen its presence in the Irish market and streamline its operations in line with other European regions. The new structure will allow STIHL to work more directly with Irish dealers and further invest in local support, marketing, and logistics.

STIHL and the current distributor will collaborate closely throughout 2026 to ensure a smooth and seamless handover, with continuity of stock, systems, and dealer relationships maintained at every step.

Service, Parts, and Product Availability

STIHL has reassured all customers that parts availability will not be affected. Genuine STIHL spare parts for all machines previously sold in Ireland will remain fully supported.
This means every servicing dealer across the country can continue to provide the repairs, servicing, and technical support that Irish STIHL users have come to rely on.

Summary

In short:

• The current distributor will conclude its role as STIHL distributor in Ireland on 31 December 2026.
• From 1 January 2027, STIHL Great Britain will distribute directly in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
• There will be no disruption to the supply of machines, accessories, or parts.
• Dealers and customers will continue to receive the full level of support, service, and product availability that the STIHL brand is known for worldwide.
