China market bringing elevated success, says Schindler Group

Schindler Group, one of the world's leading providers of elevators, escalators, moving walks and related services, is dedicated to delivering quality products and services while contributing to sustainable development.

Founded in Switzerland in 1874, Schindler has some 70,000 employees in more than 100 countries and regions, working with its customers across the whole life cycle of their transportation needs, from planning and installation to maintenance and modernization. Schindler was the first foreign business to set up an industrial joint venture in China in 1980. In 2006, it completed its registration as a wholly-owned foreign enterprise.

As a Swiss brand with 150 years of history, Schindler has introduced cutting-edge technology and high-quality products to China, expanding its presence in the Chinese market with a commitment to safety, quality, sustainability and innovation.

"We're proud to help shape urban landscapes with our vertical mobility solutions in China, our second home. Moving people up and down buildings and across transportation hubs efficiently and safely makes cities more accessible and livable," said Daryoush Ziai, member of the group executive committee (MKL) at Schindler's China and Escalator Division.

Schindler's elevators, escalators and moving walks have been deployed in main landmark buildings in China such as the Ping An International Financial Center and Tencent Building of Binhai in Shenzhen, as well as Shanghai Tower and Xujiahui Center in Shanghai.

In addition, Schindler has expanded services in public transport including metro lines, railway stations and airports. It joined the infrastructure construction of the Beijing Daxing International Airport and supported international events including the 2010 Shanghai Expo, 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

While Schindler prides itself in being innovative, safety and quality are two core values, which are part of everything that the company does. Significant resources are dedicated to these endeavors and each individual within the Schindler organization is responsible for maintaining the excellence of its offerings and guaranteeing the safety of its users, employees and business partners.

"We aim to deliver an outstanding customer experience together as a team and are proudly building on a strong customer base. Meanwhile, Schindler has always been committed to sustainability, which is woven into our day-to-day operations and our products," Ziai said.

As one of the leading companies in the elevator and escalator industry, Schindler will continue to increase investment to empower traditional elevators and escalators with new values through emerging technologies and by pioneering smart urban mobility, Ziai said.
