The Stehli family is a Swiss industrial and political family that has been prominent in silk manufacturing and politics since the early 19th century.[1][2] In 1897, the family built one of the largest textile concerns in the world, primarily active in the United States, more specifically in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The concern was known as Stehli Silk Corporation.[3][4] A daughter of Emil Stehli-Hirt (1868–1945), Margaretha Emerentia Frölicher-Stehli, has been a first class passenger and survivor of the Titanic.[5]
