Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from the Cibes Lift Group

To sum up a fantastic year, the Cibes Lift Group has gained new customers, new colleagues and a new production plant. We are looking forward to an equally good year in 2013.

Our strong range of products, wide geographical presence and better production facilities means we are well equipped to tackle the challenges that lie ahead. We can see positive signs, stable growth in certain parts of the world and despite a weakening world market we are proud that the Group is continuing to grow with new partners in interesting markets. In 2012 we added some twenty new distributors with promising results. We strive unceasingly to improve quality assurance across the board and as a result of this, we have implemented two major product launches, our Cabin lift and 1,000 kg lift.

On behalf of everyone at the Cibes Lift Group, I wish to thank all the customers and distributors we have had the pleasure of doing business with in 2012. We look forward to a Happy New Year in 2013.

This year's Christmas Gift is a donation to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), an independent international medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid where it is needed most to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural or man-made disasters irrespective of political opinion, religion or ethnic origins. MSF has field projects in some 60 countries and we feel they are a worthy cause well worth supporting.

Improved market focus

In Cibes Lift Group's continuous efforts to strengthen our market focus we have combined the resources of the departments Sales & Marketing and Business Development in a joint department.

This strengthens the possibilities for customer-driven development of our markets, products and customer relations.

Christer Lundberg, current Director Business Development, assumes the role as Vice President and Director of Sales & Marketing for the new merged department. Dan Dannberg choose in this context to leave the company.

"I have a strong commitment to our customer relationships and look forward to further developing the sales and marketing organization to work more closely with our customers for a mutual growth and profitability", says Christer Lundberg.

The new organization will apply from 1st December 2012.

"I have had the privilege of working with Dan also previously and after an interesting time in Cibes Lift Group, I wish him all the luck in the future", says Mats Engblom

One of Europe’s largest lift production plants has been inaugurated in Gävle

On Friday 21st of September Cibes Lift Group inaugurated their top-equipped new premises in Gävle, Sweden. Customers from all over the world were invited, as well as suppliers, business representatives and Gävle Municipality.

A consolidation of production units in Sweden has taken place during the summer and during August the first lifts were delivered from the new factory. The new plant covers an area of over 10,000 square meters, the number of employees are about 100 people in Gävle, while the whole Group consists of around 200 people.

The new production localization matches the Group's growing ambitions, with everything from recruitment to shipping aspects, including commuter distance, both domestic and foreign. Here we can develop and introduce new products in elevator technology and long-term strategic double our production capacity in the next coming years.

The inauguration was preceded by a seminar for visiting distributors from about twenty countries. Mats Engblom, CEO, said "We are building a solid platform for a continued successful future together by strengthening old and developing new relationships with our important partners worldwide.”

Steel door A20 will replace the A2

Steel door improvements

The latest result from our product development is the improved steel door A20 that is ready to replace the A2 door in every aspect. The new door complies with the European safety standards, and is produced with the same panorama window as previous design.

As standard the doors are finished in traffic white RAL 9016. The doors can be ordered in any desired RAL colour as option. The edges of the doors are smooth which eliminates safety risks of cutting during installation.

The new door benefits include an upgraded design and functional features

• New possibilities to choose between a concealed or an external door opener.

• Higher safety thanks to a new fastening solution of the glass into the door frame.

• Higher stability and better design function when we end the use of unsightly pop rivets, and deliver a welded door. Thanks to this the aluminum threshold can easily be mounted.

• The door will have better stability an impact thanks to the new double metal sheet performance.

• Easier installation of the door opener has been achieved, with more space for cable laying, thanks to the 11,5 mm deeper door dimension.

• Although thickness of the A20 door is 68 mm instead of 56,5 mm, but the cut out size will be the same.

New production plant

Cibes Lift Group will change location

From week 32 our production will start at larger facilities in Gavle, Sweden. We coordinate our resources and will have the means to maintain our position as leader within the platform lift industry. The new plant will produce vertical platform lifts, cabin lifts and lift doors.
"We will be better positioned to meet a growing demand with increased capacity", says Mats Engblom, CEO of Cibes Lift Group.

The Headquarter will also be moving to the same location.

External lift installations

Weather resistant outdoor concept
for external lift installations

Due to increased weather fluctuations we are now introducing a developed product package to meet the growing demands of stability when external installations are concerned. The improved lift design in combination with a range of options is ready to withstand snow, wind and humidity.

The weather resistant outdoor concept include the following as standard: •Rust proof platform •Reinforced cross bars and wall mounts for stable anchoring to the building •Rust primer to protect sensitive parts, eg drilling holes, during installation

A well-functioning outdoor installation requires that the lift has been installed under good conditions, for that reason we have set a number of recommendations that are to be followed.
