Elevator Integration Solutions from INVT

A Chinese company rides the innovation wave.

The elevator market, world over, is fast outgrowing the singular-component supply stage. The future is all about integrated elevator- control solutions. One of the bigger players in this new frontier is China’s INVT.

INVT was one of the earliest companies to provide integrated elevator-control solutions. Today, it is one of the top three elevator-control- system manufacturers in China. INVT products are available in Poland, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, the Netherlands, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, India, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar and Bangladesh.

INVT offers two kinds of elevator solutions: the elevator inverter CHV180 to support geared and gearless machines, and the EC100 and EC160 elevator integrated controllers for geared and gearless machines. The company specializes in manufacturing V3F drives, integrated elevator-drive systems, programmable logic controllers, servos, touchscreens, industrial- control equipment, new energy technologies, rail traction, servo and motion-control systems, and energy-management and building-intelligence systems, to name a few. INVT products are certified with continuing education, TÜV SÜD, ISO 9001 and 14001, and OHSAS standards.  

With an annual turnover of more than US$200 million, INVT has four factories located in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Suzhou and Xi’an. It is the country’s largest exporter of drives. With a strong focus on R&D, the company has been instrumental in developing advanced, high-quality drives and has achieved tremendous growth. It went public in 2010 and has been consistently listed as “A-Category” stock. In 2014, it had a 3% market share for integrated elevator systems in the Turkish elevator market. It has partnered with KONE Turkey, KLEEMANN in Greece and HISA in Vietnam.

INVT owns more than 550 patents, with 13 subsidiaries and an overall staff of 1,100 at the Shenzhen headquarters and 1,600 staff members around the globe in 31 offices supporting sales, technical issues and repairs. With a strong presence in more than 60 countries, the company is constantly expanding its global base directly and indirectly through distributors and large machine builders across all major industrial markets.
