Please provide a short introduction to your organisation— its founding vision, core business areas, and the milestones that have shaped its growth.
TK Elevator (TKE) was founded with a clear vision to redefine urban mobility through safe, innovative, and reliable vertical-transportation solutions. Rooted in German engineering excellence, the company has grown into a global leader offering a comprehensive portfolio that includes elevators, escalators, moving walks, modernization solutions, and one of the world’s strongest service and maintenance networks powered by digital tools like the MAX predictive maintenance platform.

Over the decades, TKE has achieved several major milestones—from expanding across international markets and introducing groundbreaking technologies such as TWIN, the world’s first system with two independent cabins in a single shaft, to pioneering MULTI, the first rope-less elevator that moves both vertically and horizontally, and AGILE, TKE’s advanced destination control and traffic-flow optimization technology.

With its transition in 2021 to an independent entity as TK Elevator, the company renewed its commitment to customer-centric innovation, sustaina-bility, safety, and operational excellence. Today, TKE continues to invest in global training, safety programs, and next-generation mobility systems that shape the future of smart, efficient, and sustainable cities.
