Company History
Our story begins in 1910, when a machine repair shop in Helsinki became known as KONE, Finnish for “machine”. More than a century later, KONE enables the smooth flow of millions of people in urban centers across the world.
Over the years, KONE has proven its ability to adapt to the challenges of a changing world. Its offering has ranged from industrial cranes to emergency room patient monitors, ice-skate blades, and nylon socks. But the elevator and escalator business has always been its main focus.
Breakthrough technologies, including the machine-room-less elevator and a superlight hoisting rope that enables elevator travel of up to 1 kilometer, have earned KONE a reputation as a global innovator.
Stable ownership by four generations of the Herlin family has created a strong and supportive environment for development, allowing KONE to continue to respond to the people flow challenges of an increasingly urban future.
