Alongside Stuga’s UK-built solutions, its customers will continue to benefit from Stürtz’s proven product range, plus access to Voilàp’s expertise in advanced automation and digital innovation.
UK customers with Stürtz installations can continue to rely on Stuga’s local service team while benefitting from strengthened global resources, while reinforced supply chains and ongoing investment in parts and product development. will ensure reliable, long-term operations.
