Best in class...
Schindler was ranked best of 400 global companies in active technology management in an international benchmarking project, conducted on a scientific basis at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland. Studies prove that successful technology management significantly enhances a company's medium- and long-term competitiveness and substantially increases its value.
Inventing the future
Schindler considers research and development to be one of the key factors for ensuring competitive edge and long-lasting customer benefit, as well as technology- and cost-leadership. This is particularly true when it comes to key competencies of the elevator and escalator industry.
In the Group research center in Switzerland and in further centers in the US, Brazil, China and Austria, engineers and technicians are engaged in the systematic further development of Schindler's elevator and escalator technology. The company invests between CHF 110 million and CHF 130 million in R&D each year. Schindler works with institutes of technology throughout the world - such as the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich - and collaborates with industry partners from a wide range of sectors, including the motor, airline and shipbuilding industries.
Research and advanced development focus on intelligent traffic management, state-of-the-art control systems, and alternative drive technologies, as well as new safety and ride-comfort solutions for top-speed elevators. Environmental impacts - particularly the consumption of energy and materials - are takin into account when developing new products.
