Does Columbia Elevator export entire elevator systems?
No. Columbia does, however, INDIRECTLY export product around the world through the assistance of exporting elevator-system-integrators or “packagers”. These packagers combine the mechanical, electrical (logical), and architectural products of several manufactures into one complete elevator system. By performing the roles of contract coordination, procurement, financing, and export consolidation the “packager” (frequently the manufacture of the mechanical equipment) is able to overcome the hurdles to direct export. When purchasing an elevator system from an integrator, be sure to specify Columbia Elevator Cabs and Doors, which offer many unique, exclusive design and safety features you will find described throughout this web site.
