KONE was founded in 1910. During its 100 years as an industrial engineering company, KONE has been involved in businesses as different as textile manufacture, medical technology and the design of hydraulic piping systems. The company’s main focus, however, has always been the elevator and escalator business.

Over the years, KONE has proven its ability to adapt to a changing world as well as to create new opportunities for the company to grow. Stable ownership by four generations of the same family has created a strong and supportive environment for continuous development.”
