thyssenkrupp and Partner Outfit Pakistan Mall

thyssenkrupp and strategic partner Global Business Bridge Ltd. have installed 32 elevators and 28 escalators at Pakistan’s second-largest shopping center, Emporium Mall in Lahore. Covering 250,000 m2, the complex includes a hotel and conference center and sees approximately 44,000 visitors a day. The vertical-transportation solutions transport more than 3,500 passengers per hour. German Ambassador Martin Kobler and Pakistani entrepreneur Mian Mohammad Mansha attended the grand opening. Observing that Pakistan is an attractive distributor market — one of the five most important worldwide — thyssenkrupp stated:

“With Pakistan having enormous growth potential, with new malls, office complexes, hotels and public-infrastructure projects such as ports and airports being built almost daily, the result is demand for around 1,000 new elevators per year, which ensure modern mobility within the new buildings.”
