A new Elevator Modernization InfoPack
tool will help customers select products
that best suit their needs.
KONE has gathered all relevant infor-
mation about elevator modernization
and full replacement in one package. The
InfoPack contains fact sheets, planning
guides and brochures as a virtual folder
on a USB stick, offering quick access to all
documents. The information is divided by
duty range and level of modernization,
from full replacement to modular mod-
ernization, and also includes accessories.
Contact your local KONE office for
more information about the InfoPack.

US-based business magazine
Forbes
has ranked KONE the
39th most innovative company
in the world. KONE is the only
elevator and escalator company
to have made it to the top 50.
The magazine’s ranking is
based on the “Innovation
Premium” metric, which mea-
sures the value of a company
due to investors’ expectations
of future launches and new
markets that will generate large
income streams.
“Our mindset is that of a
challenger. We intensively look
for opportunities to develop our
products, services and processes
in order to deliver a better cus-
tomer and user experience,” says

KONE will equip the world’s most exclusive and innovative new cruise ships. The
two flagships of Princess Cruises’ fleet will each have room for 3,600 passengers.
KONE will design, supply and install 28 custom-designed elevators for both
ships. In addition, there will be lifts for passengers with impaired mobility –
4 vertical platform elevators and 6 stair elevators.
The first ship, Royal Princess, is scheduled for delivery in 2013; the second ship
one year later. Princess Cruises is the premium brand of the world’s largest cruise
ship company Carnival Corporation & plc. The vessels will be built at Fincantieri’s
shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy.
