About us
Stinis is a family-owned company with nearly 200 years of engineering expertise. For six generations, our family has been dedicated to designing, manufacturing and servicing spreaders and custom lifting equipment for container handling operations worldwide. As a result, customers benefit from reliable solutions that support efficient and safe cargo handling beneath their cranes.
Partnering with Stinis means more than purchasing equipment. It means gaining access to a team of specialists who understand the challenges of modern terminal operations. Furthermore, every customer receives continuous support from a pioneer in spreader technology.
Why Customers Choose Stinis
In container terminals, spreaders are not stand-alone machines. When a spreader is out of service, crane operations can be disrupted, causing delays throughout the logistics chain. Therefore, selecting the right equipment has a direct impact on safety, productivity and operational performance.
Drawing on decades of experience, Stinis helps customers make well-informed decisions. Rather than simply supplying products, our specialists focus on solving problems and delivering practical solutions that meet operational requirements. In addition, customers can rely on lifetime support, regardless of warranty periods.
Personal Relationships
Joining Stinis as a customer, supplier or employee means becoming part of an extended family network. Because long-term relationships are built on trust, cooperation and mutual respect, we invest heavily in personal contact and lasting partnerships.
Every custom project receives the same level of attention and commitment. Consequently, customers receive bespoke solutions that reflect both operational needs and the quality standards associated with the Stinis name.
Dedicated to Innovation
Safety and efficiency remain at the heart of everything we do. For that reason, Stinis has developed several industry-leading innovations, including the patented Autotwist spreader, the Double-Collar twistlock, the Long-Twin spreader and the Split-Headblock.
Moreover, only carefully selected materials are used in the manufacturing process. This ensures that our equipment performs reliably in the demanding conditions found in ports and container terminal around the world.
Responsible and Sustainable
Taking responsibility is an important part of our company culture. Whenever challenges arise, our teams focus on finding solutions rather than assigning blame. At the same time, every experience provides an opportunity to improve products, processes and performance.
Beyond engineering excellence, Stinis is committed to operating responsibly within local communities. Therefore, environmental awareness, ethical employment practices and positive relationships with neighbors and stakeholders remain key priorities throughout the organization.
