• TK Elevator’s TWIN was awarded for its unrivalled efficiency, highest safety standards and space-saving advantages
• As the elevator system of choice for many major projects and landmarks in the region, it recently has been installed at a newly built medical centre under one of Hong Kong’s most prominent hospital groups for efficient inter-floor traffic

Hong Kong, 28 November 2022 – TK Elevator has added another award to its growing list of accolades, with its TWIN elevator system winning in the Machine-Industrial Engineering category at the 2022 Hong Kong Business Technology Excellence Awards. Dubbed the most prestigious celebration of the city’s technology champions, the Awards recognize outstanding companies for making exceptional contributions in pursuit of technological innovation.

Featuring an industry-first, unique design with two elevator cars operating independently in the same shaft as well as a TÜV-certified 4-stage safety system, the revolutionary TWIN is the ideal mobility solution for high-rises and buildings with heavy traffic such as offices in the CBD and hospitals where frequent travel between floors is required, as well as modernization projects in dense, urban areas where building additional elevator shafts is not a feasible option. In certain use-cases, TWIN offers up to 50% shaft space reduction and as much as 28% shorter Average Time To Destination (ATTD). TWIN’s ability to move people efficiently and reliably while saving valuable space is unparalleled.

Deemed a technological breakthrough in the elevator industry, TWIN has been the product of choice for many prestigious developments in Asia Pacific, including the modernization of a century-old hospital and the newly built HQ of a leading global start-up corporation in China; the upgrading of the Parliament (DPR) building in Jakarta, Indonesia; as well as various other commercial and residential properties and hotels in the region.

Most recently, it was installed in a newly built medical centre under one of Hong Kong’s most prominent hospital groups. To prevent the centre from experiencing the same mobility issues as the group’s main facility, where a great number of patients, visitors, and staff travel between floors on a frequent basis, resulting in an overloaded elevator system and the need for dedicated personnel to manually control each elevator, TWIN was chosen as the future-proof choice for the group’s new property to help it achieve higher efficiency and better customer and patient experience.

Dr. Johnny Leung, CEO Southeast Asia of TK Elevator, said, “We’re honoured to be recognized in the Hong Kong Business Technology Excellence Awards, particularly as it highlights our customer-centric approach and commitment to innovation. As the preferred mobility solution for a wide range of projects in an increasingly urbanized world – from new skyscraper builds to major upgrades and modernization of older buildings – our revolutionary TWIN brings forth unprecedented efficiency and passenger experience, while supporting our customers in achieving greater heights of success.”
