ELA, EEA General Assemblies Optimistic in May 2021

General assemblies of the European Lift Association (ELA) and the European Elevator Association (EEA) reflected a mood of cautious optimism about the outlook for the lift sector in 2021/2022 during a virtual meeting on May 17, 2021, the General Assemblies reported. The gathering was directed from joint headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. Solid financial health of the associations was confirmed despite the ongoing pandemic that has had a significant impact on the industrial sector throughout Europe. The global lift sector registered a turnover of around US$80 billion, and of the 17 million units installed worldwide, 6.5 million are installed in Europe. The strength of ELA comes from the more than 200 expert technicians from its various member associations who, through their professionalism, debate the issues addressed in ELA’s Technical Committees and Working Groups, producing information notes, technical opinions and ELA positions. Management committees were announced during the event, and include changes to the EEA Management Committee. The following directors joined new President Wim Koster: Christian de Mas Latrie; Aitzol Garcia Castellanos; Jorge Ligüerre; Rudolf Ramseier; Gerhard Schiffner; Olivier Terryn; and Roberto Zappa. In addition, changes were made to the ELA Board, representing national associations and more than 1,500 companies. For more information, visit https://www.eea-eeig.eu.
