Strategy
Innovation, service and closeness to customers
Unusual architecture from Santiago Calatrava: the escalator to the
pedestrian bridge at Katehaki subway station in Athens, Greece.
Greater comfort, greater freedom:
a stair lift at home improves quality
of life.
Five TWIN and 37 conventional elevators are being installed as part of redevelopment work at
the Royal London Hospital in the UK. For the first time, three of the TWIN systems are designed as
bed elevators for patient transport. The redevelopment is expected to be largely completed by early
2012. Thanks to its central location, the hospital will ensure medical care during the Olympic Games
in London.
PROJECTS AROUND THE GLOBE
In fiscal 2006/2007, ThyssenKrupp Elevator won orders for interesting projects and completed major
contracts in Europe, America, Asia and the Middle East.
We will be supplying all 71 elevators and nine escalators for the Freedom Tower, which is to be built
on the site of the former World Trade Center in New York City, USA. The 541-meter-high Freedom Tower
is scheduled for completion in December 2011. The fastest elevators will link the 105 floors at speeds
of up to nine meters per second. The legendary Fontainebleau Hotel has placed an order with our
company to equip its luxurious hotel-casino in Las Vegas, USA, with 108 elevators and 27 escalators.
Successful projects were also carried out in South America: for example, the Château Puerto Madero
in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was fitted with 21 elevators.
In Europe, ThyssenKrupp Elevator is supplying 45 escalators and moving walks for the international
Expo 2008 in Saragossa, Spain. As part of a modernization project, we installed 19 escalators
for the Metro in the Spanish capital Madrid. Major orders were also acquired in the important volume
market, for example from the French public housing agency OPAC. ThyssenKrupp Elevator is producing
and installing 247 elevator systems for an extensive modernization project in several cities. Also
in France, the EFIDIS housing group, whose activities are concentrated on Paris, placed an order for
45 elevators with our company.
In the Asia-Pacific region, ThyssenKrupp Elevator modernized 22 elevators and ten escalators at
the Hao Yang Mansion in Beijing, China. Twelve elevators and 14 escalators were supplied and installed
at the Melbourne Convention Center in Australia.
A further project of interest is the modernization of the elevator installations at Egypt’s oldest
commercial bank. The National Bank of Egypt in Cairo placed an order for 20 express elevators, which
at four meters per second will be among the fastest in the country. Our intelligent destination selection
control will reduce waiting times and minimize the number of stops.
