Where does your elevator come from?
It’s a question we often hear, and it’s more complex than it might first appear. With globalization, the lines have blurred regarding the place of design, production, and the brand’s roots. The ‘Country of Origin’ concept now has multiple dimensions.
In an ideal world, a product’s origin would be simple to identify—one place where everything about it comes together. But what happens when its components span continents? This is where the true story of an elevator’s journey begins.
We are proud collaborators with STROS, the esteemed rack and pinion elevator manufacturer based in the Czech Republic. What sets STROS elevators apart is their meticulous assembly using components sourced exclusively from European nations and the USA. To paint a clearer picture:
- Brakes? They come from France.
- Electrical Components? Germany is their home.
- Steel? Italy crafts it for us.
We believe in being completely open about where our elevators come from because their origins play a critical role in safety.
The quality of materials can be a matter of life and safety. For instance, we’ve noticed a stringent criterion among our clients against steel from certain regions, attributed to concerns about the quality of their products. Such concerns extend beyond just steel to a range of products. At McDonough, we prioritize these safety concerns, which is evident in our sourcing practices.
