About Schindler Holding AG

Schindler Holding AG is a Swiss industrial group listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (SMI/SPI), placing it within one of the key reference markets for Swiss and international investors. Headquartered in Ebikon, canton of Lucerne, Switzerland, the company traces its roots back to 1874 and has built its franchise around vertical and horizontal mobility solutions. Its core business spans the design, manufacturing, installation, modernization, and servicing of elevators, escalators, and moving walks, complemented by digital tools and fleet-management services. Schindler is positioned among the global leaders in the sector, with strong exposure to residential and office buildings, shopping centers, airports, railway stations, and transport infrastructure. A large installed base supports a meaningful recurring revenue profile through maintenance, repair, and modernization contracts. The company’s history begins with Robert Schindler and Eduard Villiger, who founded Schindler & Villiger in Central Switzerland in 1874. Over more than 150 years, the business has evolved from a local machine maker into a global mobility solutions provider. That long operating history reinforces Schindler’s reputation as a durable Swiss engineering company with deep expertise in safety, reliability, and building mobility. Commercially, Schindler serves a broad mix of private and institutional customers, offering standardized as well as customized solutions depending on building type and usage intensity. Its key products and services include elevators for residential, commercial, and high-traffic buildings; escalators for transport hubs and retail environments; and moving walks. The group also develops connected solutions aimed at improving passenger flow, equipment supervision, and predictive maintenance. This combination of hardware, services, and digitalization is an important competitive differentiator versus global peers. Geographically, Schindler has a worldwide footprint with exposure across Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific. Its brand is especially visible in urban infrastructure and complex projects, including major airports and transit networks. Among recent highlights, Schindler released its 2024 annual results on February 2, 2025, reporting moderate growth in revenue and profitability, with emphasis on operational improvement and cash generation. The group also announced leadership changes in December 2024, including the appointment of Paolo Compagna as CEO effective April 1, 2025. For investors, Schindler remains a high-quality Swiss industrial name, combining construction exposure, recurring service revenues, and structural tailwinds from urbanization and building modernization.
