KONE provides innovative and eco-efficient solutions for lifts, escalators, automatic building doors and the systems that integrate them with today’s intelligent buildings. We support our customers every step of the way: from design, manufacturing and installation to maintenance and modernisation. KONE is a global leader in managing the smooth flow of people and goods throughout buildings. This makes us a reliable partner throughout the life cycle of buildings. We are fast, flexible, and we have a well-deserved reputation as a technology leader, with such innovations as KONE 24/7 Connected Services and KONE UltraRope®. KONE employs over 63,000 dedicated experts to serve you globally and locally.

KONE has been operating in Great Britain for more than 40 years. With its head office in Chertsey, Surrey, KONE serves customers from regional offices across the country with its team of nearly 1,800 employees. KONE Plc is a member of both Lift and Escalator Industry Association (LEIA) and Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA).

We support sustainable and green building through our energy-efficient and innovative offering, healthy, functional, and sustainable materials, as well as transparent documentation about our products’ environmental impacts. We help our customers meet various green building requirements even better with the KONE DX Class lift range. With KONE People Flow Planning and Consulting we support creating future-proof, adaptable buildings that last for future generations.

KONE was the first lift and escalator company to achieve A class energy efficiency certification through the international ISO 24745 standard. We have pioneered lift energy efficiency technology including regenerative drive, standby solutions, and the revolutionary KONE UltraRope®. KONE UltraRope® can cut the energy consumption of a 500-meter lift ride by up to 15%. We have pioneered sustainable escalator technology such as the TransVario drive that can reduce escalator energy consumption by up to 16% and significantly minimise oil consumption, improving sustainability and reducing total cost of ownership.

We are committed to making KONE a great place to work, where we aim to inspire, engage and develop our employees to deliver great results. Our gender pay gap report provides details on how we are addressing that gap along with our pay gap figures.
