Why KONE thinks API Economy is important?

Customer Case

KONE provides innovative and eco-efficient solutions for elevators, escalators, automatic building doors, and the systems that integrate them with today's intelligent buildings. We support our customers every step of the way: from design, manufacturing and installation to maintenance and modernization. KONE is a global leader in managing the smooth flow of people and goods throughout buildings. This makes us a reliable partner throughout the life cycle of buildings.
