OTIS, is the world leader of vertical transportation since 1852.
In 1852 Elisha Otis invented the safety elevator, which automatically comes to a halt if the hoisting rope breaks. After a demonstration at the 1854 New York World’s Fair the elevator industry was on its way.
Otis was founded in Yonkers, New York, United States, in 1853 by Elisha Otis. It was acquired by United Technologies in 1976 and is a wholly owned subsidiary. Otis has more than 64,000 employees, with revenue of US$ 13.0 billion. The company headquarters are located in Farmington, Connecticut.
