Owner
For 30 Years, I've been perfecting the art of Still building. After much trial and error, I feel as if I've done just that. I believe that StillZ builds the best hand crafted Stills in its class. That's one of the reasons I made a name for myself. Exceptional quality AND Customer Service that's second to none. I'm proud to say that quality, honesty and going above and beyond for customers has propelled the business to one of the top sellers in the Industry. Please, give me a call and we can discuss your future Still, one on one.
With so many Still manufacturers popping up across the world. It's becoming more and more difficult to find a quality company, that you can trust, to build your still. Before making that choice, I urge you to have a closer look at the finer details! Anyone can slap a still together but to build a quality product starts with having pride in your craft. Perfecting the small details without cutting corners. Valuing quality over quantity. Using Professional Soldering techniques… I have yet to find better quality soldering. I feel we've done a great job at finding the right team of people that possess a true desire to create art & quality products. Again, take a closer look, quality matters!
