In 1867 Joseph Stannah opened his doors for business
Over 150 years later we’re still a British family business, producing the highest quality stairlifts and homelifts

A family of lift experts
Joseph Stannah set up business in Bankside, London, making cranes and hoists to move heavy goods safely around the bustling docks of the industrial revolution. Focused on those same principles of quality and service, Stannah is still a family owned and run business, now proudly helmed by a fifth generation – Jon, Patrick, Nick, Alastair and Helen.
Global market leaders
Having sold over 1 million stairlifts worldwide, we’re a proud leader of the global lift market, engineering everything from our innovative Stannah stairlifts and homelifts, to passenger lifts and goods lifts, microlifts and platform lifts, service lifts and even dumbwaiters.
For today, and tomorrow
We take great pride in helping to keep people moving and remain in the homes they love. With an incredible 90,000 products in our portfolio, we also know that both our domestic and commercial customers rely on us to offer a first class service both today and in the years that follow.
That’s why we’re focused on the future; keeping our products at the cutting edge of safety and innovation, and evolving to meet the ever changing demands the world presents. From new solutions to ongoing support, you can always rely on us.
How we like to do business
Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) statement is something we’re resolutely committed to. We take pride in our ethical business practice and code of conduct, and the core values at the heart of our CSR have a positive impact upon our workforce, our customers, our suppliers, the environment, and the local communities in which our business lives.
Our statement celebrates what we’ve achieved, outlines our plans for the future, and helps us build on the values that have always been at the heart of Stannah.

A company you can trust
