The VFA association prize goes to Orba-Lift:

Elevator of the month: The Association for Elevator Technology also honors the Reichenbach-based company for its safety standards.
Tenor: The medium-sized company produces innovatively and in high quality.

Reichenbach. At Orba-Lift Reichenbach, 80 employees build up to 120 elevators every year. From the kitchen lift to robust goods lifts to the already representative panorama glass lift, everything is included. “The order situation is stable, we had a good start to the year. Of course, the award now makes us proud,” says Annette Gey, the commercial director of the medium-sized company, and laughs. The Association for Elevator Technology (VFA), based in Hamburg, sweetened the Vogtländer’s good start into the year with a congratulatory letter delivered yesterday: The VFA draws Orba-Lift using the example of an Orba elevator that has now been installed at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce Academy Westerham near Munich with the title “Elevator of the Month”.

Top survey values for safety

An honor that not only applies to the special Orba product refers, which was the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle for the modernization of the academy building towards the accessibility of the facility. “With this award, we want to make the general public more aware of medium-sized companies in elevator construction and also point out our high safety standards. The awarding of the monthly title is part of the VFA safety campaign,” said Nicole Heine from the association yesterday.

Background for the offensive of the elevator and elevator component manufacturers are “not particularly positive” reports in the media on the subject of elevator safety in Germany. That’s why the association commissioned a representative survey, according to which 97 percent of those surveyed rated the safety of elevators as “consistently high”. 91 percent of respondents said they felt “very safe” and “safe” in elevators. VFA board member Klaus Sautter: “99 percent of all work on a lift is for safety.”

Orba works with LED signals

A large proportion of the high According to Sautter, medium-sized elevator companies such as Orba-Lift have safety standards. “They design, manufacture, and maintain innovative security products.” In the case of the Reichenbach-based company, the association particularly praises the equipment in the lift lobby with LEDs that light up when the lift arrives at the floor. This is also an important contribution to the safety of the elevator. A compliment that goes down well with Orba. “This appreciation is good. We are always working to be up to date in every respect. We are also well positioned in terms of innovation,” says Annette Gey.
