Schindler, one of the largest global players in the lift and escalator industry, has announced its participation in the first edition of GEE, Global Elevator Exhibition, the international trade fair dedicated to vertical and horizontal mobility, scheduled from 15 to 17 November 2023, in Milan (Fieramilano – Rho).

The Exhibition will take place in conjunction with three other B2B fairs, already consolidated at international level and decisive for the Building sector (ME-MADE Expo, leader in Italy in the field of architecture and construction; SICUREZZA, a reference point in Europe for the security and fire-fighting sector; SMART BUILDING EXPO, the home and building automation and technological integration event). Schindler, one of the major global players in the lift and escalator industry, has announced its participation in the first edition of GEE, Global Elevator Exhibition, the international trade fair dedicated to vertical and horizontal mobility, scheduled from 15 to 17 November 2023, in Milan (Fieramilano – Rho).

The event will take place concurrently with three other B2B trade fairs, already consolidated at international level and decisive for the building sector (ME-MADE Expo, Italy’s leading trade fair for architecture and construction; SICUREZZA, Europe’s reference point for the security and fire-fighting sector; SMART BUILDING EXPO, the home and building automation and technological integration event).

This conjunction has given rise to the strategic alliance known as MIBA, Milan International Building Alliance – an alliance whose aim is to offer all operators in the sectors involved a broader, contemporary and integrated vision of Smart Building and Smart City.

The presence of Schindler, which plays a leading role in the global lift market and is also a reference point for technology and innovation for the entire Building sector, cannot but represent a significant attestation of trust for both MIBA and GEE, Global Elevator Exhibition. The latter, in its first edition, is already proving to be a trade fair of international scope and representative of the entire complex and varied industry of lifts, escalators, moving walkways and components. “Lifts and escalators are means of transport in their own right – said Danilo Calabrò, CEO and General Manager of Schindler Italia – and as such strongly impacted by the technological innovations of recent years. Digitisation, artificial intelligence, robotics, together with the need for a more ‘people- and environment-friendly’ urban development, have profoundly changed the vertical and horizontal mobility sector. Schindler transports over 1.5 billion people around the world every day, and our goal is to do so in an increasingly efficient, intelligent and sustainable way”.

“Precisely in the light of this mission – Calabrò said -, we have confirmed our presence at GEE, Global Elevator Exhibition, which we recognise as an important and strategic reality, with which we share the values of innovation, interconnection and sustainability. From these premises we started to think of a large multifunctional and impactful exhibition project that will allow us, on the one hand, to present the best of our offer in terms of products and services with the most up-to-date technological solutions and, on the other hand, to speak to the market in an area/hub of comparison and training through a rich schedule of conferences, talks and masterclasses, reserved for all Building Alliance stakeholders present at fieramilano during the exhibition days”.

“GEE was born from a concrete request by companies in the vertical and horizontal mobility sector to be represented in a space for comparison, training and updating with a global scope, able to bring together development and networking opportunities with the most topical themes of the sector: sustainability and innovation, also in line with the new directives of the EU Community – says Simona Greco, Director of Owned Exhibitions of Fiera Milano – In this scenario, we can only be proud to have the adhesion of Schindler Group. This historic and recognised reality will be able to offer, to all the souls of the sector, innovative proposals and significant contents for the development of each business”.

Schindler Group’s membership of GEE and the contribution it will make to the event in terms of content is confirmation that the sector is evolving rapidly and continuously and has much to tell not only to the Building and Construction industry, but to society as a whole.

GEE, Global Elevator Exhibition is at Fiera Milano – Rho, 15 to 17 November 2023, in Milan.
