Machinery manufacturer and distributor Stiga marked its entry into the professional sector by lifting the Best Grass Cutting Equipment innovation award at GroundsFest 2025.
Designed for managing large areas “with efficiency and precision”, the Large Format Robot “blends advanced robotics with sustainable technology”.
Equipped with a full suite of object detection and proximity sensors, an integrated camera and “unlimited” operational capacity, the robot “sets a new standard for professional turf management”, Stiga states.
“Gardening is evolving rapidly—it’s no longer just about tools, but about creating smart, sustainable solutions that adapt to every need,” said Amanda Kincaid, Stiga marketing manager.

“At GroundsFest 2025, we showcased our vision for the future with groundbreaking robotics, forward-thinking innovation, and exciting new products.”
“Stepping into the professional segment is a natural progression for us – a clear expression of our ambition and our commitment to shaping the outdoor spaces of tomorrow.”
This milestone builds on the brand’s 90+ years of expertise and leadership in the transition to electric solutions for gardening. Show visitors saw live demos of the manufacturer’s professional innovations, including the Large Format Robot, the all-electric ePark Pro front mower and the new ePowerBattery Pro.
Looking ahead, Stiga reaffirmed its commitment to advancing sustainable gardening through robotics and battery technology. Visitors were also given a preview of next-generation solutions in development, including autonomous and battery-powered mowers powered by the ePowerPro system, set to launch in 2026.
