A world-leading institution of modern art and design, Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands got a new lease of life in 2012 when it opened a futuristic wing to the building during a complete renovation process. KONE’s creative solutions facilitate the museum’s visitor movement and match with the exclusive look of the new architecture.

KONE has published its Interim Report for the period January 1-March 31, 2014 on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 at 12:30 p.m. EET. An English-language meeting for analysts will begin at 3:45 p.m. EET and it will be available as a live webcast at www.kone.com.

In ten years, there will be more than one billion people 60 years and older. As our population matures, the buildings we depend on also grow older. ”We estimate that in Europe alone, 2.2 million elevators and escalators will require modernization,” says KONE’s Senior Vice President for Modernization Ilpo Marjamaa in an interview focused on how KONE is helping buildings keep pace with the changes related to aging population and infrastructure.

KONE has received two coveted iF product design 2014 awards for its innovative touch screen destination operating panel and elevator car ceiling light. The iF product design awards have recognized outstanding achievements in design for 60 years.
