List of elevator manufacturers

This is a list of elevator manufacturers/companies that are operating and/or have operated in Indonesia. Some companies, especially major companies, operate their own branch in Indonesia under their own corporate name. Some of them also operate sub-branches or representative offices in many major cities around the country. Some others, like Shanghai Mitsubishi, Sigma, and few others operate through a third-party company/sole agent/distributor.

There are also elevator companies that don't actually made elevators and/or escalators and instead they import elevator parts overseas and assemble them - these companies are usually called "generic elevator companies" by elevator enthusiasts.

As of now, there has not been any single local elevator company in Indonesia that has been able produce its own elevators or escalators using entirely locally made components and equipment.

Major companies

These are some of the major elevator companies operating in Indonesia. Almost all of them operate as a subsidiary company and/or under their own corporate name, with the exception being Shanghai Mitsubishi and Sigma where they are representated by third-party distributors. Their head office is always located in Jakarta, usually in buildings where the elevators were installed by the same company. Some of these companies also have branches or representative offices in major cities throughout Indonesia, such as Bandung, Surabaya, Denpasar (Bali), Makassar, etc.

Because of its very short history in Indonesia, not many Haushahn elevators were installed; in fact there were only about 90 units installed in the country, making it very difficult to find. Only a few existing installations still remain today.

Ihaka Saka Nusantara itself still exists today, and since 2004 it became a distributor of Hosting elevators from China which are installed in Indonesia under the "AE-Lift Hosting" brand.

Its distributor, which now operates under the name PT. Marico Gria, still maintains a handful of remaining Thyssen elevators in Indonesia.

Third-party companies

Main article: Third party elevator companies

Third-party elevator companies (or commonly referred as generic elevator companies by elevator enthusiasts) are elevator companies that do not make their own elevators. Instead, they buy and import elevator parts and components from other countries (usually China) and assemble them into brand new elevators which are then branded by themselves. Most of them install elevators (and escalators, if any) while some others only provide maintenance or repair services and do not install elevators at all. These companies are often preferred by clients who wanted to install elevator(s) at a comparably lower price compared to major companies.

There are many third-party elevator companies operating in Indonesia, and most of them have their own trademark brand. They mostly operate in one area or region where they are based at, but some companies such as Louser Lift operate branches in various cities throughout Indonesia.

Some of the domestic third party companies that have a well known reputation and have installed quite a lot throughout Indonesia:

• Pillar Utama Contrindo (Pillar)
  Established in 1998, it initially started out as a company providing maintenance services for Korean elevators and escalators in Bandung, West Java. It is probably a local generic company with the most number of installations in Indonesia and it is quite popular. Almost all of its elevators use Shanghai STEP control systems and fixtures from China, but in recent years they started using parts from Chinese company NBSL. It also installs escalators and moving walks under their own brand, which are actually made by Suzhou Xinda Escalator Accessories Co., Ltd. in China and are essentially knock-off (copied) Schindler products.

• Louserindo Megah Permai (Louser Lift)
  Established in 1987 by former Otis elevator technicians. It is known to use Samil Eltec "SICON" control systems and Haisung machine from South Korea for most of its elevators, and almost all of its older installations use Jinlix fixtures from Taiwan. Some older Otis elevators in Indonesia are modernized by this company. They are also a distributor of Kleemann elevators from Greece, often co-branding them as "Kleemann Louser Lift".

• Marico Gria (MG)
  A company based in Jakarta established in 1984 which was initially a distributor for Thyssen elevators until 1999 and later ThyssenKrupp until 2005. It is known for using German made Schneider Steuerungstechnik GmbH (LiSA) control systems for new installations, but it also use Shanghai STEP controls quite often for new installations and modernization. It is also a distributor of Mac Phuarsa (MP) elevators from Spain, as well as Sepac and Walec elevators from China. The company was previously known as Thysindo Griatama when it was a distributor for Thyssen.

• Abdi Teknik Jaya (Abtech Lift)
  A small-medium sized company operating since 1999. Its elevators are usually found in small low rise buildings and occasionally hospitals, and they are often basic and simple.

• Indoraya Nusantara Djaya (LINES)
  A generic company whose history remains a bit unclear. It was previously known under its trademark LINE and trading as PT. Industri Lift Indo Nusantara. It is known for using Mico control systems and fixtures from China, but in recent years it has switched to use fixtures from Nantong Hunter. It has a representative in the province of Bali known as PT. Sukuba Indo Jaya which, apart from distributing LINES elevators, also distributes Siglen and Fuji Electric (Fe) elevators from China.

• Etika Sejahtera (Delta Lift)
  A smaller generic elevator company from Sidoarjo, East Java. It installs elevators with Mico control systems and fixtures just like LINES, so it is often confused with LINES due to their similarities.

• Kori Elesca Utama (KORI)
  Based in Surabaya. Its elevators are easily recognized by their rather unique looking button fixtures with green and red (dual) light. It is said that the company is run by a South Korean expatriate.

• Tamiang Multi Trada (Tamiang)
  Established in 2004, it is perhaps well known for its overrated self proclaimed "Indonesia Bisa" (English: "Indonesia Can") slogan on its social medias for promoting its products and services, allegedly to make people think that its products are made locally despite the fact that it does not produce its own elevators so far. Most of their projects are replacement or modernization of older elevators of any brands, but they also install new elevators for new buildings. It also has six subsidiary companies, of which two of them are Fuji Ta Nayottama and Sei Liput Perdana.

Other smaller/minor companies

These are some of the smaller or medium-sized elevator companies that exists in Indonesia. Most of these companies are representated by third party distributors, while some others have their own subsidiaries in Indonesia.

Chinese companies

There are numerous Chinese elevator companies operating in Indonesia. While most of these companies operate through local companies as their authorized distributors, a few others operate their own subsidiary directly. Very few companies are subsidiary of major elevator companies and are therefore distributed directly by the parent company's Indonesian subsidiary, such as XJ Schindler and Marohn TKE (except Shanghai Mitsubishi which is currently distributed by third party companies). It is estimated that Chinese elevator companies first entered the Indonesian elevator market in the 1990s.

Some of the well known Chinese elevator companies operating in Indonesia are listed below:

• SJEC Corporation
  Based in Suzhou and established in 1992, this is one of the well known Chinese elevator companies that has shipped its products globally. In Indonesia, it is currently distributed by two different company; Prawita Karya since 2006 (nationwide), and Surya Jaya Wijaya (based in Sukoharjo, mainly serves Central Java). They are mainly found in small to medium sized shopping centers and occasionally hotels. Some Ramayana department stores and Tamansari branded properties also use this brand. The controllers are supplied by Chinese company Suzhou Monarch.

• IFE
  Based in Guangdong, it was established in 1988 as Dongguang Feipeng Elevator Ltd. and changed to its current name in 2006. It has been on the Indonesian market since 1998 when it was still known as Feipeng, and since 2015 it is distributed by Maxwell Natanindo Global. It is said that one of the first orders in Indonesia was a freight elevator for a plastic factory.

• Shenyang Brilliant
