No lift company in recent history has enjoyed more sustained sales growth than Stertil-Koni. Since the 1997 incorporation of Stertil-Koni in Maryland by Jean DellAmore, the company has experienced an average yearly sales growth of 27%. By 2000, Stertil-Koni became the sales leader in mobile column lifts in the United States and Canada selling well over 300 sets per year. In 1999, Stertil-Koni introduced a truly unique four post drive on lift without crossbeams.
 
The next year, Stertil-Koni introduced the OMER parallelogram lift followed by the 2005 incorporation of J.A. Becker in ground lift into its portfolio of heavy-duty lifts.  Today, Stertil-Koni sells and services many varieties of mobile column lifts, heavy duty two post lifts, parallelogram lifts, four-post lifts, in ground lifts and now a new platform scissors lift, THE SKYLIFT. Innovation is the hallmark of Stertil-Koni's operating philosophy. This is what has made us the fastest growing heavy-duty lift company in North America.

In 2001, Stertil-Koni moved into its modern 25,000 square foot combined office and warehouse facility in Stevensville, Maryland.  This building is located on the shores of the beautiful Chesapeake Bay.  Close to the Nation's capitol, we are located along the major transportation arteries allowing us access by truck to all of the major population centers in the United States.  Up to date machinery including an overhead crane allows us to move equipment in and out with relative ease.  Last year, we added a mezzanine to store parts for the many manufacturers we represent and to help keep our promise of maintaining 25 years parts and availability for all models that we represent.

From the beginning, Stertil-Koni adopted a philosophy of working with a network of exclusive distributors.  These heavy-duty lift specialists are the best and most professional in the business.  The original charter members of our distribution network remain with us since the beginning as do many of our staff. 

Unlike our European parent company (incorporated in 1947), our history in North America is short but dynamic and vibrant.  We have accomplished much in our last ten years and we are intent on drawing from our history to grow into our future.
