Welcome to the Schindler Group | Elevators, Escalators & Moving Walks

Schindler on recent market rumors

In general, we at Schindler don’t comment on market rumors. As potential movements in the elevator and escalator market have been spurring speculations, we are compelled to state that assumptions made in a recent “The Market“ article “Schindler, Kone & Co: Konsolidierungswelle unter den Liftherstellern” are unsubstantiated and factually wrong. We have not mandated Bank Rothschild and are not in merger talks with Mitsubishi Elevators.
