KONE rafforza la sua presenza in Cina con interventi di modernizzazione.

KONE sta raddoppiando gli sforzi sul mercato cinese con iniziative di modernizzazione e digitalizzazione, Cina giornaliero reports. China is the company’s largest single market, accounting for approximately 20% of KONE’s global revenue, and hosts the company's largest overseas R&D center, where innovations in AI, Internet of Things and predictive maintenance are often tested and adopted. KONE's business in China has benefited from policy support, including "two new" initiatives and ultra-long special treasury bonds, which have unlocked new growth drivers, Joe Bao, president of KONE Greater China, said. Looking ahead, the company aims to deepen its presence in China through more localized solutions and offerings tailored to the domestic market. In January 2026, the company delivered elevators to modernization projects in more than 80 cities nationwide. In the Kunshan elevator modernization project — the largest of its kind in China — residents were able to choose their preferred brands, and KONE secured 2,106 elevators, accounting for 96% of the total tender, and completed the renovation in eight months with zero accidents. KONE is also focused on the Greater Bay Area, where it established its southern headquarters in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, last year with the hub scheduled to commence operations by the end of March 2026.
