Different targets for lift modernization and service
Keeping a growing installed lift base in perfect working order is the main occupation of many lift companies. This is evident if we consider more mature markets, such as Europe and US; but in other markets, such as China, the increasing number of installed lifts with more than 15 years of operation is creating the prerequisites for extended lift modernization activities.

The five levels of modernization
Carlo Ferrari
Keeping the installed lift base in perfect working order is the main occupation of many lift companies, in Europe and increasingly globally. According to the latest data published in 2019 by the European Elevator Association, over 6 million 150 thousand lifts are installed in Europe, many of them with more than fifteen years of service.
The modernisation activities of these lifts generated a turnover of more than €1,629 billion in 2018.
For a better orientation within this important market, I propose a classification of the main activities of lift modernization in five levels, meeting different needs.

With almost 50 years of existence, the Wittur Group has been refurbished worldwide, aiming for greater efficiency and synergy. The most significant recent change was the acquisition in 2016 of Sematic , consolidating Wittur as a leading and truly global supplier to the elevator and elevator components industry.
In relation to the Brazilian operation, as a celebration of the 20 years of presence in the country, the great change was the inauguration of the new plant, in the city of Londrina (PR), also in 2016. This factory, built entirely from scratch, made this suitable operation for the production of doors, with the existing production of car door operators and landing door mechanisms.

LIFTjournal 1-2017
Freedom of Choice
If you are an elevator professional, you know this feeling: you have an elevator modernization project at hand, you get into the shaft and measure everything, you check the status of existing components and make a list of what should be updated. Then you come back to the office and start thinking about the best tools available to avoid extra on-site works that are always a hassle.
And the fact is, there is an incredible diversity of elevator installations out there, and in many cases the new door that was installed in a breeze in the last project just can’t fit in the new project at hand, or it is not available in the peculiar finish of the building, or maybe the building owners really would like to have panoramic doors instead.
It seems that you can’t have it all with just one door. This is why Wittur Group provides you with multiple choices as far as modernization is concerned. Together they provide you with every feature you might like to use, and then some.

DiscoverA Matter of Taste
Elevator World, October 2016
A Matter of Taste
Some elements of building design, such as the elevator, are usually considered from a strictly utilitarian point of view. The elevator must first and foremost provide safe and reliable transportation for the people living and working there. This is why many building designs, although impressive, are not innovative as far as building transportation is concerned. The elevator is treated as a commodity that needs to be provided and not as a design element in and of itself.
Today, the elevator is not always just about moving people; sometimes, it can be a distinctive, iconic feature of the building itself. Aside from its functional ability, it can serve as a focal point of any building, providing a combination of elegant finishes and visibility. It can offer unexplored possibilities to turn architects’ and designers’ ideas into reality.

Fernando, how did you enter the vertical transport sector?
As a student of civil engineering at National-Regional Technological University of Buenos Aires, an employee of Soimet contacted my mother and asked if I would be interested in entering that company in 1996. I was also a musician, I taught piano and guitar as a music teacher. However, already in the fourth year of my career, I had no experience in construction practice, so I joined a construction company and I managed unique civil works as director of works: a complex of duplex in Las Toninas, summer resort the Province of Buenos Aires. In 1997, construction began to decline and I re-consider the lift connection with the construction. I had a meeting with Adrian Gonzalez, the MD at that time. That was how I joined Soimet in June 1997 where, with Hernán Amoretti, we were Adrian's right hand in the engineering department.

by Kanika Goswami
Wittur Group is one of the world's largest independent suppliers of components and systems for the elevator industry. Its portfolio includes elevator doors, safety components, gearless drives, cabins, car frames and counterweight frames. India's burgeoning elevator market attracted the brand to the country three years ago, and the venture has been successful since.
Speaking on the entry of Wittur in India, R. Sumanth, managing director, Wittur Elevator Components India Pvt. Ltd., says: "India is the second-largest market for elevators in the world, followed by China.
The market is growing 10-13%. The urban population was 3 77 million as per the 2011 census, and this [number] is expected to grow to 590 million by the end of 2030.
This will translate to vertical growth in cities that are starved of construction spaces. [The] estimated urban housing shortage was close to 19 million units in 2012. The building industry that will close this gap will be the target for the elevator market, too, and this will be the biggest driver for the growth of the brand in India."
