The major competitors of Kone

Let's now find out who are the main competitors of the Kone Group in the market for lifts and automatic doors:

Schindler Holding

This German company is currently the world's largest producer of escalators and the second largest producer of lifts. It offers in particular sales but also installation and maintenance of all kinds of lift systems.

Zardoya Otis

It is the leading Spanish manufacturer and maintainer of lifts, escalators and conveyor belts at the moment.

The major partners of Kone

After the competitors, let's discover Kone's allies with two examples of recent strategic partnerships:

IBM

In 2019, the Kone group has notably joined forces with the American giant IBM in order to transform its operations and its technological capacities throughout the world. Kone's new 24/7 connected services use IoT platforms to deliver intelligent services to lifts and escalators.

ThyssenKrupp

Also in 2019, another interesting merger took place with an offer for Kone to take over the lift division of ThyssenKrupp AG. As this division was suffering from a lack of profitability, Kone offered €17 billion for its takeover. However, due to the Covid-19 crisis that followed in early 2020, this transaction has been postponed and no further action has been taken for the time being, which should be followed with interest.
