Geschichte

In our over 140-year history, we have grown from a local manufacturer of machines into a global elevator and escalator business. Our story began in a mechanical engineering workshop in Lucerne Switzerland for the production of lifting equipment and machines of all types by Robert Schindler and Eduard Villiger. Since then, we released several innovations from the delivery of the first hydraulic freight elevator in 1890 to the first elevator in the world with an electronically controlled alternating current drive in 1956.

As a pioneering digital industrial producer of elevators and escalators, Schindler's intelligent digital solutions allow for improved remote monitoring and predictive maintenance of (Internet-enabled) smart-connected elevators, ultimately increasing the daily availability and reliability of installations.

Supporting Schindler Group today is over 58,000 employees, more than 1,000 branch offices in over 100 countries, as well as production sites and research and development facilities in the US, Brazil, Europe, China, and India.
