STIGA Announces Its Entry Into The Professional Segment: STIGA, Europe’s leading manufacturer of garden care machinery and equipment, announces its entry into the Professional segment with a complete ecosystem of products, batteries, AI-driven technologies and after-sales services.

With over 90 years of experience in designing gardening machinery and as a pioneer in the transition to electric, the company is taking a natural step in its evolution, putting its ability to innovate at the service of gardening professionals. In particular, it is the ePower Pro Battery – the heart of the entire range – alongside APX Pro and ePark Pro that form part of a new generation of resilient, high-performance battery solutions designed to elevate the standards of professional land care: a concrete answer to the constantly evolving needs of “prosumers” – operators and dealers who are increasingly oriented towards autonomous and intelligent solutions. STIGA Professional line-up will be available from early Spring 2026.

STIGA Announces Its Entry Into The Professional Segment

STIGA Announces Its Entry Into The Professional Segment

“Entering the Professional segment is a strategic step for STIGA, – says James Gordon, MD of STIGA UK, because it allows us to share our expertise in technology, electrification and sustainable design with industry professionals. This evolution is a natural extension of our identity: to continue innovating responsibly, offering solutions that improve performance and simplify the daily work of professionals, strengthening STIGA’s role as a key player for those working in garden care every day.”

Entering the Professional segment also represents a decisive leap forward in terms of environmental & social responsibility. The new battery-powered ecosystem eliminates the use of fuel, reduces emissions and noise, and guarantees high performance with low environmental impact, marking another milestone in the company’s commitment to electrification. By automating repetitive mowing, the new self-operated mowers reduce physical strain and fatigue while operators can focus on skilled tasks that require human expertise. As a pioneer in the industry, STIGA continues to lead the way by enabling users to shift to battery-powered and automated products – and the new electric ecosystem for professional use really makes a difference in this progress.

ePower Pro Battery – The technological core of the system

It all starts with the new ePower Pro Battery, the modular system developed in-house by STIGA and used across the entire Professional range, delivering high performance, unlimited capacity and maximum flexibility. Designed to withstand intensive, multi-site use, the battery is removable, portable and swappable between different machines, allowing for independent charging, diagnostics and maintenance. Thanks to its modular design, it offers the possibility of combining multiple batteries to extend autonomy, ensuring operational continuity even in the most demanding and lengthy work contexts, with fast recharging cycles and long life.

APX Pro – AI-powered robotics for professional use

The flagship of the new offering is APX Pro, the first autonomous robot for large areas designed specifically for professional use. Ideal for the maintenance of public parks, sports fields and large green spaces, the machine integrates a full system of sensors to ensure the safest and most efficient work possible. AGS, GPS-RTK, LIDAR and gyroscope technologies provide precision and accuracy in robot positioning and navigation. Then, it integrates STIGA Vista Technology, an AI-driven on-board camera, and an ultrasonic sensor to detect and avoid anything, fixed or moving obstacles, on the lawn. The robot handles obstacles, slopes, grass density and complex zones with precision, operating safely even in spaces frequented by people or animals. APX Pro is equipped with the Combi ePro 110 Q Plus cutting deck, 110 cm wide, engineered to deliver top-tier performance on complex terrains. Designed for multi-site work, the robot is easily transportable and fully manageable via the STIGA.GO App and Stiga Web Pro App, which enable activity planning and predictive maintenance. With a single charge (6 ePower Pro batteries), APX Pro can cover up to 27,000 m², ensuring a uniform, safe and highly productive cut.

ePark Pro – The electric evolution of the iconic Park Pro

A symbol of reliability and performance in the world of front mowing, the iconic STIGA Park Pro – beloved by professionals and green space operators – has been completely revamped to usher in a new era: introducing ePark Pro, its electric evolution. Completely re-engineered, the new model retains the essence that made the Park Pro famous: extraordinary manoeuvrability, cutting precision and versatility of use in all seasons. Designed for maintaining large residential and urban areas, ePark Pro delivers the same performance as a combustion engine tractor, but with zero emissions and significantly reduced noise levels. The modular ePower Pro battery enables up to 6 hours of uninterrupted work and covers up to 27,000 m² in mulching mode. Its advanced ergonomics, professional interface and easy maintenance make it the perfect solution for everyday use. Just like the other products in the range, the ePark Pro can be managed via the STIGA.GO App, for full control of the mowing session from the convenience of the mobile device.

STIGA Web Pro App

In addition, STIGA introduces the new Web Pro App, a browser-based platform accessible via desktop, tablet, and smartphone. Designed for professionals who manage multiple STIGA products or use their equipment across different locations, it helps streamline operations and boost productivity. The platform allows users to oversee all products simultaneously from a single interface, providing clear status overviews, predictive alerts, self-service guidance, and rapid diagnostics to minimise downtime and maximise operational efficiency.

With this announcement, STIGA inaugurates a new phase, positioning itself as a key player in the electric transition of the garden care industry, now extending into the professional segment. The company has already defined a development roadmap that includes the launch of additional dedicated products and accessories, as well as the expansion of its specialised dealer network. This includes technical training, after-sales support, spare parts availability and digital tools for machine and customer management.
