Stannah Lifts
Stannah Lifts Holdings Ltd is a manufacturer of lifts based in Andover, Hampshire. Founded in 1867 in London as a crane and hoist manufacturer, the company began to produce lifts shortly after. Although varying types of lifts are manufactured by the company, it is best known for its stairlifts with which the company's name has become synonymous.
The company headquarters and stairlift division are located within the Portway Industrial Estate on the western outskirts of Andover. Its microlift division is located in a separate building within the same estate, whilst its passenger lift division is located near to the town centre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.stannah.com/en/get-in-touch-with-us.html )〕 The company also operates a factory in Newburn, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and its escalator division is based in Norwich.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Contact Stannah Lifts )〕 Stannah Lifts is ranked #223 on the 2012 edition of the Top Track 250 list of companies published by ''The Sunday Times''.〔http://www.fasttrack.co.uk/fasttrack/leagues/dbtop250Details.asp?siteID=5&compID=1255&yr=2012〕
==History==
The company was founded in London in 1867 by Joseph Stannah, who had worked as an engineer since the 1820s. 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.〔 Its first headquarters were located on Southwark Bridge Road, before moving to Bankside in the early 20th century. The company remained here until the site was destroyed during the London Blitz. The chairman at the time, Leslie Stannah, built new headquarters at Tiverton Street, Southwark using compensation money awarded to the company.
Stannah Lifts moved from London to Andover in 1974, produced its first stairlift the following year, and began exporting in 1979.〔 From there, it established itself as the leading manufacturer of stairlifts worldwide, as well as Britain's largest lift manufacturer.〔 Subsidiaries were opened in the United States and The Netherlands in 1992, and Slovakia in 2003. The company also purchased distributors in Ireland in 2005, and Norway in 2010.〔 The company produced its 500,000th stairlift in February 2011 during a visit by the Prince of Wales to the Andover headquarters.
