How would you characterize Stihl’s competitive strategy

Stihl is the world’s leading manufacturer and marketer of chain saws with annual sales exceeding $3.7 billion. With innovations dating to its 1929 invention of the gasoline-powered chain saw, the company holds more than 1,000 patents related to chainsaws and outdoor power tools. The company’s chain saws, leaf blowers, and hedge trimmers sell at price points well above competing brands and are sold only by its network of 40,000 independent dealers in more than 160 countries.

Also, has the company chosen to focus on a narrow piece of the market or does it appear to pursue a broad market approach? Explain your answer.
