Urban Elevator Service Acquires San Diego Company

Urban Elevator Service, headquartered in Cicero, Illinois, has acquired Guardian Elevator Mechanical Services, a San Diego-based contractor specializing in installing, modernizing, repairing and maintaining all types of vertical-transportation equipment. Guardian has served clients across the San Diego metropolitan area since 2005. Announced on August 11, the acquisition was done through Urban Elevator Service’s California subsidiary and adds to the company’s presence in the state, where it already operated in Los Angeles. “We are excited to continue growing our business across Southern California as we transform Urban Elevator into a truly coast-to-coast operation,” Urban Elevator Service co-CEO René Hertsberg said. “Guardian Elevator is well known in San Diego, and we look forward to adding Doug Schweizer and the rest of his team to our staff.”
