KONE Corporation, press release, September 10, 2024
KONE Corporation, a global leader in the lift and escalator industry, plans to initiate a review of its Door Business to assess its optimal structure and synergies, including a potential sale of the business.

As part of this, KONE is considering incorporating the Door Business under its own legal structure.
KONE Door Business provides maintenance, repair, modernisation, and new equipment solutions for pedestrian and industrial doors. In 2023, KONE Door Business accounted for approximately 2% of KONE Group revenue.
The contemplated review and actions are subject to local legal requirements and consultation of employee representatives.
