Where Innovation Meets Imagination
ThyssenKrupp, one of the world’s leading suppliers of elevators and escalators, says it has completed its “biggest ever” contract in Sweden.
The work involved the iconic Urban Escape project in Stockholm.
ThyssenKrupp was asked to supply 53 elevators, 27 escalators and 15 platform lifts for the project.

thyssenkrupp Elevator will deliver 12 TWIN lift systems, a technology that increases transport capacity and improves energy efficiency.
Applying the TWIN frees up floor space, as this technology transports more people without increasing the number of elevator shafts. The new tower will also include another twelve conventional elevators and escalators.
The builders of the United Tower in Bahrain have completed the installation of 16 lifts and two escalators in the country’s sixth tallest building.
With its unique twisted shape, the United Tower is conceived as a building with multiple uses – a vertical spiral city where people live, work, and relax. The particular characteristic of the United Tower is a 360-degree unobstructed view of Manama.
The United Tower is located in Bahrain Bay on the north-eastern shore of Bahrain’s capital city Manama in a mixed neighbourhood of residential, commercial and retail spaces.

Carbon2Chem is off to a good start in the new year. For the first time, thyssenkrupp has produced ammonia from steel mill gases. Ammonia is a chemical used to make fertilisers to improve food production.
Steel mill gases come from steel production and contain, among other things, CO2. It is the first time in the world that steel mill gases, including the CO2 they contain, have been converted into ammonia.
It represents a further milestone in the Carbon2Chem project, which is being funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to the tune of around 60 million euros.

ThyssenKrupp, in partnership with its local distributor ARG1 Africa, is supplying airport mobility to Accra, Ghana’s Kotoka International Airport Terminal 3, including seven passenger boarding bridges, three escalators, 16 lifts, and over 40 auxiliary equipment units.
The company has previously supplied solutions at airports across Africa, including in Algeria, Cameroon, South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria, to name a few.
According to the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority, the number of international airline operations at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) has increased from 35 to 38 and between 2016 and 2017, Accra had a 14 percent increase in passenger traffic.
ThyssenKrupp Elevator has been contracted by Hudson Yards to design and install up to 40 twin elevator systems for its 50 Hudson Yards building; 27 elevators for the 55 Hudson Yards building; and 12 elevator and escalator units for The Shed.
Hudson Yards is the largest private real estate development in US history and the largest development in New York City since Rockefeller Center.
The site will include more than 18 million sq ft of commercial and residential space, state-of-the-art office towers, more than 100 shops and approximately 4,000 residences.
Elevators, escalators and moving walkways are so ubiquitous in urban environments – at metro stations, airports and other places – that most people probably hardly notice them and perhaps take them for granted.
Not everyone, however: some of us still actually feel a sense of enjoyment at having their strolls through transport hubs aided by these automated systems, even if it’s part of a daily commute to work.
It’s probably fair to say, however, that these automation systems are less complex than ones which involve movement in less straightforward, distraction-filled environments – like, say, those involving an autonomous car.
