The city’s strong commitment to entrepreneurship, innovation, and a robust business ecosystem has been recognized in 2026 by the Diverse Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which named it the Third Top City for Small Business in the nation.

Virginia Beach became an easy choice when we decided to relocate to a larger facility. It offers a rich pool of skilled workers and proximity to the port and major highways, allowing us to serve our customers effectively and meet their delivery expectations.

Virginia Beach offers the infrastructure, business environment, and quality of life that make it easier to attract and keep great people. The diverse mix of industries and organizations creates a healthy, collaborative business ecosystem. For us, it’s not just a great place to operate; it’s a community we’re proud to invest in and grow alongside.

For nearly 50 years, the City of Virginia Beach has created an ideal environment for STIHL to continue to grow our business and offer meaningful careers to over 2,500 current employees in Hampton Roads.

ASC is proud to announce our continued expansion in partnership with the Commonwealth of Virginia and the City of Virginia Beach, who have supported our significant business expansion since 2019.
