Schindler China, the Chinese division of the Schindler Group, has been awarded a major contract for a 115-story megatall skyscraper currently under construction in Shenzhen, Guangdong province. When complete, Shenzhen’s Ping An Finance Center will include office and retail space and stand 660 meters high, making it the tallest building in China. The structure will feature Schindler’s 7000 high-rise series elevators and Schindler’s cutting-edge PORT transit management technology. “This is one of the most exciting projects in Schindler’s history,” said Thomas Oetterli, member of the Group Executive Committee and overall responsible for the Group’s operations in China. “The Ping An Finance Center is the tallest building our company has ever had the chance to work on and we are very proud of being a part of this fascinating project”. This contract is the latest in a series of significant wins for Schindler in China, where the robust urbanization trend of recent years shows no signs of slowing down.
