The Finnish company joins the top brands in the industry that have already chosen to be present next November at Fiera Milano (Rho).
Milan, 4 September 2023 – KONE – global leader in the installation, maintenance and modernization of elevators, escalators and automatic doors for buildings – confirms its participation in the first edition of GEE, Global Elevator Exhibition, the international trade fair dedicated to vertical and horizontal mobility, scheduled to take place from 15 to 17 November 2023 in Milan (Fiera Milano – Rho).
With net revenues of 10.9 billion euros, more than 60,000 employees (as of the end of 2022), and class B shares listed on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd. in Finland, KONE represents a significant share for the elevator industry, as well as an international innovation benchmark for People Flow®, the management of people flow within buildings for safe, comfortable, and uninterrupted travel.
Its participation at GEE, Global Elevator Exhibition, is a decisive endorsement for the event, which, although in its first edition, is already proving to be an international trade fair platform, representative of the entire lift, escalator, moving walkway and components industry.
As of now, the offer of GEE, Global Elevator Exhibition, is confirming to be rich in prospects to amplify business and networking opportunities for operators and visitors. As a matter of fact, the event will take place concurrently with three other B2B exhibitions that are already established internationally and of critical importance for the building sector (ME-MADE Expo, Italy’s leading trade fair for architecture and construction – which will last, as usual, an extra day; SICUREZZA, Europe’s benchmark for the security and fire-fighting sector; SMART BUILDING EXPO, the home and building automation and technological integration event). This combination has given rise to the strategic alliance known as MIBA, Milan International Building Alliance – a partnership whose goal is to offer all parties involved in these sectors a broader, contemporary and integrated vision of Smart Building and Smart City.
KONE’s participation is a statement of intent that reflects the ongoing commitment of the company, but also of GEE, Global Elevator Exhibition, and MIBA itself, to updating and developing the business, aimed at shaping the future of vertical mobility and leading the industry toward increasingly smart, sustainable, complementary, and efficient solutions.
