STIHL Micro 71 PM3 Saw Chain

STIHL is a globally recognized German brand, pioneered by Andreas Stihl in 1926. While the company is headquartered in Waiblingen, Germany, its saw chains remain a specialized product category involving highly precision-engineered manufacturing.

The STIHL Picco Micro 3 (PM3) saw chain shown in the image is typically manufactured in STIHL's dedicated chain production facility in Wil, Switzerland. STIHL is unique in the industry as one of the few chainsaw manufacturers that also designs and manufactures its own saw chains and guide bars.

The brand remains a family-owned enterprise, held by the descendants of its founder through the STIHL Holding AG & Co. KG. This vertical integration ensures that their cutting components are perfectly matched to their power tools for maximum performance and safety.
