mayr® power transmission has been in business as an independent family company for more than 125 years. A glance at company history reveals that tradition and innovation go hand in hand, and stability and reliability are central components of the corporate philosophy. This is also evident in mayr's strategy for elevator brakes. Not only are the products safe and reliable, but the company maintains a strong delivery performance in times of crisis. At Interlift 2023 in Augsburg, we will be showcasing our innovative elevator brakes in Hall 7, Booth 7038.

Los frenos fabricados por Mayr Power Transmission de Mauerstetten, Alemania, brindan constantemente una protección confiable en innumerables ascensores en todo el mundo. No importa dónde se utilicen los ascensores (en rascacielos, centros comerciales, edificios residenciales, hospitales, aeropuertos o incluso barcos), nuestros frenos garantizan la seguridad de los pasajeros en todo momento.

En mayr power Transmission, producir productos de alta calidad significa abrazar los valores de seguridad, confiabilidad e innovación en toda la empresa, desde la oferta inicial hasta el servicio posventa in situ en todas las filiales y oficinas de representación en todo el mundo. Esta filosofía permitió a Mayr Power Transmission pasar de ser una simple y pequeña empresa comercial a convertirse en un líder del mercado mundial en tecnología de transmisión de potencia mecánica.

La seguridad da forma al pensamiento y a las acciones

The company began in 1897. It was founded by Christian Mayr (the great-great-grandfather of today's CEO and Managing Partner Ferdinand Mayr) as a carpenter's workshop specializing in mill structures in Kaufbeuren, Germany. Since then, mayr has overcome many crises. Even now, despite working through the coronavirus pandemic and the challenges posed by the war in Ukraine, it is evident the company's reliability and stability policy is paying off. "Tradition and innovation are the supporting pillars that have guaranteed our stability for generations," was the firm belief of senior boss Fritz Mayr, who passed away in January (ELEVATOR WORLD Europe, marzo-abril de 2023). Él dijo:

"In a world that is becoming increasingly fast-moving and uncertain, this means reliability and long-term security. [We provide] secure workplaces on the one hand, but of course our products also stand for safety and reliability. So, in other words, the topic of 'safety' shapes not only our thinking, but also our actions."

Ferdinand Mayr amplía este pensamiento afirmando:

"Our strategic alignment now ensures stable supplies. In addition to a high level of vertical range manufacturing, local supply chains are crucial. This means we achieve strong delivery performance even in volatile times."

No hay alternativa a los frenos de calidad

La globalización del mercado de los accionamientos de ascensores, la intensa competencia y los consiguientes problemas de copia hacen que en los últimos años también haya una enorme presión competitiva en el ámbito de componentes críticos para la seguridad, como por ejemplo los frenos de ascensores. En el pasado, siempre hubo un compromiso claro con la confiabilidad y la calidad superior, pero hoy en día, los participantes del mercado suelen mencionar el precio en primer lugar en las discusiones.

Los rápidos acontecimientos ocultan importantes riesgos potenciales. Debido a que participantes inexpertos en el mercado ofrecen productos a bajo precio, la situación ha cambiado radicalmente. Especialmente en el ámbito de las transmisiones por correa sin engranajes, que actualmente son una tendencia, son imprescindibles frenos de ascensor fiables de fabricantes experimentados. Los frenos de bajo coste que implican compromisos en los materiales utilizados y en la seguridad presentan un riesgo incalculable.

Esto se contrarresta con la estrategia de mayor transmisión de energía. El director de ventas de mayr, Johann Eberle, afirma:

"We are in a position to offer highly cost-effective, yet reliable, solutions. As market leaders, we produce in large quantities and are able to make use of the appropriate field experience. We have put a large number of elevator brakes onto the market over many years, and are aware of the challenges involved."

Un actor global en frenos de ascensores

Mayr offers customized brake solutions and is constantly developing them further. In addition, the company's wide reach means it is in a position to cover all requirements. An important element in the strategy of a market leader is also the participation in various international committees and associations, for example in the important Chinese market. mayr's international positioning with three independent production plants is another decisive factor. At subsidiaries in Poland and China, the same quality standards apply as in Germany. The company's Quality Management System in these locations has been certified in accordance with ISO 9001 in the same way as at the headquarters in Mauerstetten.
