The world’s elevator industry is 150 years old when it operates with electric power, although lifespans in the world reach more than 10,000 years and the first wells were the first lifters. The most important elevator companies in the world of Otis and Shindler are about one hundred and fifty years old.
But the elevator industry of Iran is 80 years old. Of course, if the ignorant statements about the installation of the elevator in Golestan Palace were ignored by Nasir al-Din Shah, the first elevators, which, of course, do not work, are installed in the Abadan Refinery during the rule of Ahmad Shah Qajar. But what is certain is the first elevators in buildings constructed during Pahlavi first and there are national libraries in the buildings around Imam Khomeini Square (former Sepah Square), as well as many of the National Library’s offices. They were installed by foreign experts and with the help of the first generation of Iranian elevator industry experts
.
The first generation of buildings of more than three floors in Iran during the first Pahlavi era and modernization of apartments has been started since 1335 in Pahlavi II. Therefore, the growth of Iran’s lift industry should be named after 1335.
First, complete and packaged lifts from Iran were imported into Iran. But Iranian companies are gradually selling and installing elevators in Iran. In 1345, the first door and cabin manufacturing workshop was developed by Oaks Aleksani by copying on the doors and cabins of European companies.
In 1345, plans for the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning for apartment building and the establishment of residential settlements around large cities are planned for the construction of the first elevator plant in Iran.
In the year 1350, the construction of the first Iranian elevator factory named Iran Shindler was launched on a land of 40,000 square meters located in the industrial city of Qazvin, Alborz, and in 1353, the factory with the initial capacity of producing four hundred elevators under the Swiss Schindler license And at the same time, in order to train the specialist in installing its elevators, it is planned to conduct theoretical and practical training courses for elevators. In each period, about 20 technicians will be able to obtain a skill certificate, and these courses will be from From 1354 to 1357, the graduates of these periods today are the most elaborate and working The most expensive people in the elevator industry in Iran are not exaggerated if they are considered by the Iranian elevator company Shindler as the mother of the modern elevator industry in Iran. At the same time, the first manufacturer of elevator parts in Iran, Tesla Iran, begins its production.
In 1354, the elevator and escalator plant in Iran was established in Abhar, and later began production under the license of the House of Hanns in Germany. USS Company also buys land in the industrial city of Saveh and plans to establish a factory..
Also, in 1355, the company of Iran’s Ambar Company started to manufacture its elevator in the city of Rasht, and started the production of the lift under the Ambaran license from Spain.
Along with the above-mentioned manufacturing companies, about thirty of the companies installing and selling elevators in Iran are operating until 1977, some of which will receive sales representative offices in Tehran and other cities. There are also four or five door and cabin manufacturing workshops that help sell and install elevators. Thus, before the expiration of the revolution and the strength of the elevator industry in Iran, this is the above.
AFTER THE REVOLUTION:
Foreign experts are coming from Iran, and Iran will impose economic sanctions and imports will be cut off.
1- Iran Shindler Co., which owns most of its shares in banks, is governed by the nationalization of banks and is administered by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning.
2- Iran’s elevator and escalator company, whose shares are private, is closed out of the country with no elevator.
3- The USS project remains semi-structured. The land is confiscated in the industrial city of Saveh and its sales office in Tehran, and the Ministry of Commerce is responsible for its administration.
4- Iran Ambaraba Co., which is managed by the investment and investment bank of industry and mines and private investors, is managed by the Bank of Industry and Mine with the withdrawal of private investors from Iran.
THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR:
After the revolution in 1359, the war between Iran and Iraq begins, and practically the apartment building is shut down except in essential cases, and as a result, the Iranian elevator is in recession. Because Iran is in the siege of the economy, the needed parts of the elevator are being built in Iran; many of the pieces that could not be seen in the past were constructed in the years after the revolution in Iran.
THE END OF THE WAR AND THE ERA OF RECONSTRUCTION:
Immediately after the end of the war in 1989, the construction industry in Iran began to grow and, as a result, Iran’s lift industry is moving forward. But without the participation of companies that have invested in Iran before the revolution, other than Iran Shindler Co., which is still under the Swiss Schindler license.
After the war, up to now, six lifting companies operating in Iran that have been licensed by the Ministry of Industries and Mines have been active:
1- Iran Shindler Co., under the license of Swiss Schiedler Co. in Qazvin Industrial City (now owned by Shahed Investment Company).
2- Gilan Elevator and Escalator Company (Iran Ambarat formerly dissolved in 1380).
3- Tos Company Co. in Mashhad.
4. Atlas Company in Tehran.
5- Damavand Lifting Company in Tehran and Damavand.
6- Afrand elevator and escalator company in Tehran.
Also, more than a dozen companies install and service (mutag design unit) throughout Iran are engaged in the sale, assembly and servicing of elevators.
