What you should know about KONE Elevators Pty Ltd Christchurch
The first KONE logo from 1910 is a solid, no nonsense design that reflects the company’s modest roots as an electric motor repair business. The bombing of Helsinki and demand for industrial cranes to meet wartime production needs forced KONE in 1943 to move its crane production from its increasingly cramped factory in the Finnish capital to Hyvink , 55 kilometers away. At the same time, it had to increase its skills and capacity to meet Soviet demands for larger and more demanding equipment than it had ever produced as part of the post war reparations program. The new management team began rethinking how the company should work putting KONE’s dormant capital to work, considering how to modernize outmoded production processes, and looking at ways to develop its products.
Six years later, KONE had production, sales and service operations in nine countries. Westinghouse was a market leader in both France and Belgium, and its elevator business there was larger than KONE’s entire international elevator operation. In 1994 KONE bought the fourth largest elevator business in the United States, Montgomery Elevator Company, and made plans to move decisively into China and expand operations in India. KONE opened a Greenfield factory in Kunshan, China, just in time to catch the crest of the wave that would make China the biggest elevator and escalator market in the world.
For the first time, elevator travel distances of more than 200 meters could be tested before installation. The elevator grows with the building and can be moved upwards floor by floor as high rise building construction progresses. Partek’s companies would be reorganized into a new company, Cargotec, whose shares were held by four of the Herlin children while Antti retained principal ownership of KONE. KONE was the first elevator and escalator company to receive a Good Design award.
KONE also moved decisively into smart building technology, introducing its KONE People Flow Intelligence family of equipment and software aimed at enabling people to move around buildings as smoothly as possible. Henrik Ehrnrooth was appointed president and CEO in April, and his vision is to build on KONE’s strong service roots while continuing to introduce industry leading innovations that enable the best people flow experience in the world’s rapidly growing cities. Over the coming years, KONE will connect its global maintenance base of more than one million elevators, escalators and building doors to cloud based services to minimize equipment downtime and carry out repairs more quickly
