We Elevate... Moments that matter
At Schindler, we don’t just make, maintain, and install our equipment. Just like you, we ride it every day with our families. That's where Field Quality & Excellence (FQE) comes in. All Schindler equipment passes a rigorous safety check from an independent FQE team before being turned over to you.

History of excellence
Safety and quality have been part of Schindler’s core values for our 150 years of existence
How does FQE work?
FQE performs a series of independent inspections—separate from the Schindler teams that do the installation work or maintain equipment after installation—to confirm safe operation of the equipment.
Inspections cover critical safety elements and systems, including:
- Brake system
- Governor and safety gear
- Landing door lock system
- Electrical system
We don’t do this because we have to. We do it because safety and quality are our core values.
We do it because our equipment brings riders to work, to home, and everywhere in between—making possible all the moments that matter to billions of people every single day.
