Elisha Graves Otis, the company’s founder in the United States, invented the safety brake capable of preventing the platform from crashing to the ground

As the inventor of the safety device, his invention in 1853 gave rise to skyscrapers, modern architecture, the development of the urban metropolis, and the elevator industry.

Eight of the ten tallest buildings in the world are equipped with OTIS elevator systems. Around 70,000 employees work for OTIS worldwide.

We are represented in all sectors—hotels, office buildings, industry, hospitals, retirement and nursing homes, as well as, of course, all types of residential buildings.

You will also find OTIS escalators, passenger elevators, and freight lifts in numerous shopping centers, retail stores, train stations, subway stations, and airports.

In Switzerland, with around 645 employees, we are strongly established locally.

We have 11 branches where sales, administration, and service are each represented locally.
