We have the support of a global company, but we operate like an independent business at each of our local offices. For nearly 40 years, our North America headquarters has been in Ohio, where we build and manufacture our Fujitec products.

We earn our clients’ respect because of our quality and customer service.

Quality

• Our elevators consistently outperform the competition in technology, performance and ride quality.
• Because we value the quality and longevity of our products, we will never use product materials that we feel are less than the best.
• Most Fujitec products are assembled or made in America.

Customer Service

• Our service portfolio consists of ~65 units per route mechanic across America, meaning we have more time to do maintenance and less downtime for our clients’ elevators. (Industry is ~175 units/route mechanic).
• Our Account Managers have nearly half the accounts as other companies, which allows us to have more time to focus on customers’ expectations.
• We have dedicated project managers to make projects run efficiently and on time.
