Schindler
As one of the leading global manufacturers of elevators, escalators and moving walks, Schindler is present in over 130 countries with more than 1000 branch offices. Schindler equipment moves more than 700 million people safely every day around the globe. Our over 44'000 employees take pride in the customer focused service during the planning, installations and most importantly during the maintenance period.
The Schindler Group was founded in Switzerland in 1874. In its more than 130-year history, Schindler has grown from a local Swiss manufacturer into a leading global elevator and escalator company. It has shaped the industry, defined best practice as a mobility provider and prospered in a highly competitive global environment.
Schindler had the honour of establishing the first industrial joint venture in China in 1980, immediately after former president Deng Xiaoping opened the doors to foreign enterprises. 28 years later we are proud to have our products running at the national stadium or bird's nest, where the 2008 Olympic Games opening ceremony will be held.
