Company sale in the lift industry

The lift industry is characterised by stable underlying demand, a high proportion of service revenue and increasing consolidation. Alongside international groups such as Schindler, KONE, OTIS and thyssenkrupp, larger medium-sized providers are also making targeted acquisitions of regional lift companies. The focus is on long-term maintenance contracts, qualified staff and strong customer relationships.

Technological developments such as energy-efficient drive systems, digital maintenance concepts and increasing regulatory requirements are adding to the complexity of the market. At the same time, there is growing interest in well-structured companies with reliable service revenue. A concrete example is the successful handover of Aufzugbau Dresden to the Schindler Group.
