Demand goes up for high-rise Otis elevators

China Daily  

As demand for skyscrapers and imposing buildings mushrooms in the second and third-tier Chinese cities with urbanization going into overdrive, high-speed elevators are also in great demand in China, the world's largest manufacturer and seller of elevators. Tony Black, president of Otis Elevator Investment Co Ltd, said that the market for high-rise elevators keeps growing amid China's rapid urbanization and push for infrastructure construction. He said compared to traditional elevators, high-rise elevators require higher safety standards and technologies, using eco-friendly and efficient permanent magnet motors and dispatching systems for better passenger experience. The supply of 255 elevators and escalators to Tianjin 117 Goldin Finance Center, the tallest main structure building in China, is a reflection of the company's ability to keep abreast of the challenging environment of many tall buildings. With a construction height of 596.5 meters, Tianjin 117 Goldin Finance Center is also the second-tallest in the world after the 601-meter Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, another building that uses Otis elevators.
