FAIN Group, headquartered in Spain with a presence across Europe and more than 100,000 lifts under maintenance globally, on December 12 announced it acquired Accel Lifts Ltd., one of Ireland’s most reputable independent lift installation and maintenance companies. Marking a major expansion for FAIN in Ireland, the move brings Accel and Doyle Lifts (acquired by FAIN in 2023) under one umbrella and gives FAIN Ireland the country’s top market position. Accel was founded by Managing Director David Bourke and is based in Dublin, with more than 1,600 lifts under maintenance, primarily across Dubin and Leinster. It employs 22 specialist staff, including 11 engineers. Accel will continue to operate under its existing brand and, with Doyle Lifts, will manage more than 3,000 units and service more than 8,600 units nationwide. By the end of 2025, FAIN will have made 14 acquisitions and operate in seven countries: Spain, the Republic of Ireland, France, Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Denmark.
