Nidec Elevator is proud to announce the unification of Canton Elevator, Imperial Electric, Motion Control Engineering, and KDS under one name. This strategic move brings together decades of experience, innovation, and trusted service to create a stronger partner for our customers worldwide.
By coming together, we are combining our expertise in elevator systems, motors, machines, controls, and drive solutions. Our shared commitment to quality and customer support remains at the heart of everything we do. As Nidec Elevator, we are better positioned to deliver reliable products, faster service, and new solutions for the future of vertical transportation.
Furthermore, this change will not affect any of the products or services our customers know and trust. The same high-quality equipment, systems, and support you expect from Canton Elevator, Imperial Electric, Motion Control Engineering, and KDS will continue—now backed by the unified strength of the Nidec brand. There will be changes to branding on social media channels, product labelling, brochures, and other promotional materials, but customers can be confident that the same dedicated teams are behind every solution we deliver.
This strategic decision indicates greater collaboration and resources across Nidec’s global network. As we transition to become Nidec Elevator, we can harness the strength and scale of Nidec to innovate faster, expand our capabilities, and bring new opportunities for our customers and partners. This unification strengthens our valued relationships, drives operational efficiency, and ensures an even better experience for all.
“We have brought our incredible teams and their deep expertise together under one brand,” said Ashur Kanon, President of Nidec Elevator. This is an exciting step forward for our team and our customers. We look forward to building on our legacy and moving the industry forward together.
