Our Heritage

In 1922, Stefan Laxhuber established STELA, starting as a modest workshop with aspirations of serving the agricultural machinery sector. Over the decades, STELA transformed. Guided initially by Stefan’s son and now propelled by the vision of the third generation, Thomas Laxhuber and Rainer Hettwer, the company pivoted to become a leader in drying technology.
