Leading the way with R&D

We’re serious about innovating in the elevator industry, and that means continually exploring new ways to boost safety, comfort, performance, and passenger experience. Our team combines deep expertise, advanced facilities, and robust testing capabilities to lead the way in terms of elevator R&D.

We invest in R&D

Environmental Testing

Elevators are high-traffic areas, so it’s important that cab interiors and fixtures are made with quality materials and designed for long-term use. We conduct rigorous environmental testing over a range of temperature and humidity levels to assess the reliability and durability of our products and ensure code compliance.

Laminated Glass Testing

Laminated glass is a popular material for giving elevators a modern look, whether as a decorative feature (e.g. printed glass) or a key part of the design (e.g. panoramic cab). With in-house destructive testing, we test our laminated glass products to ensure they are safe and fully code compliant.

Destructive Testing

Elevator interiors take a lot of abuse over time, so we conduct destructive testing to assess the long-term durability of all the parts and components we manufacture. This testing helps us introduce new products to the market with confirmed quality and durability for long-term performance.

Steiner Tunnel Testing

Safety is a top priority for every product we develop. As part of our R&D process, we conduct Steinar tunnel testing to measure a material's tendency to propagate flame and emit smoke. This advanced testing technique is a North American standard for materials testing and is used in the selection of materials for interior construction.
