Happy birthday to us! 💙🎂 Over the past 114 years, we’ve celebrated countless milestones that have propelled us forward. But it’s the small moments of heartfelt effort, innovation, and discovery that truly define our journey. These little moments add up, showing that we’ve never stuck to the common path. Our strength lies in always looking ahead while keeping the past close at heart. Our owners, the Herlin family, have led the way decade after decade, and this year marks the 100th anniversary of their KONE ownership. What’s your favorite memory from our history?

Getting on track with urban living! 🚄 We just wrapped up the final seminar of our The Flow of Urban Life program, co-funded by Business Finland as part of their 'Veturi' initiative. It was a wonderful chance to get together with our partners to share highlights and celebrate our successes in Helsinki. Over the past four years, we’ve collaborated with about 200 partners to tackle some of the biggest challenges posed by urbanization and climate change. From smart construction to operation of smart buildings with green field services, we’re leading the charge in innovation to create a better urban future for the next billion people moving into cities by 2030. The innovation program has truly lived up to its name: meaning “locomotive” in English, the ‘Veturi’ initiative is the engine driving us towards a smoother and more sustainable future.

KONE is dedicated to promoting sustainability and aims to achieve carbon-neutral operations by 2030.   Since introducing electric motorcycles in 2021, we have been actively electrifying our fleet to reach this goal. Recently, we added three BMW CE-04 electric motorcycles to our fleet, ensuring we can provide prompt maintenance services to our customers while fulfilling our environmental commitments.   On Octoberber 18th, we held a simple yet significant handover ceremony at the BMW showroom, marking this critical moment with BMW representatives.   Our commitment to a greener and more livable Hong Kong is unwavering. We will continue working closely with all societal sectors to make this vision a reality.   #Sustainbility #CarbonNeutral #GreenFleet #KONEHK

”We launched our new strategy, ‘Rise’, in the third quarter with strong support and excitement from our employees and customers. We are executing the strategy already at full speed with focus on transforming KONE into an even more resilient business with Service and Modernization as the key drivers of earnings growth. I am very pleased that we delivered in line with this ambition also in the third quarter. Our Service sales grew by 9.6% at comparable exchange rates driven both by unit growth and pricing. In Modernization, sales grew by 10.5% and orders very strongly by around 20% at comparable exchange rates.   Another highlight for me was that three of our four Areas saw double digit order growth in the quarter. However, in China, the challenges in the property market intensified, and we continue to adapt to the harsh market reality with a focus on cash flow and driving more balanced business mix in the Area.   Our adjusted EBIT margin improved by 10 basis points year-on-year in the quarter. While we are making good progress on many fronts, we have also identified points of attention where we need to improve our performance. With strong attention to detail in strategy execution and relentless focus on driving a culture of courage, speed and simplicity, I’m optimistic and excited about our direction and outlook.” Read more: https://kone.ws/3UhLIgf #KONEResults
