Allright, now we have hit it on the nail.

@granskare Correct.
-
Yes, after Kone bought out Montgomery in 1994, it was Montgomery-Kone from 1995 to 1999, and then Kone from 2000 up to now. Also, the elevators and escalators are still made in Moline Illinois, just like ThyssenKrupp working from the existing Dover factory in Memphis Tennessee.

@cannycart KONE company acquired Montgomery and it became KONE Montgomery and some years later the Montgomery name was dropped but they still make the stuff here in Moline, Illinois...I don't know where else KONE makes the stuff...
-
Yes, because with the Kone elevators mentioned, they are basically a rebranded version of Montgomery elevators.
-
@granskare KONE does not manufacture as many Montgomery KONE's. They just use KONE.
-
That's correct, and it's been 10-15 years since the buyout, but this year, Kone has been in business for 100 years.
-
@cannycart Kone bought Montgomery so in a way, they are still in business :)
-
@CaptainElevator42189 Very True. I would love to see all the modern technologies they would have come up with like Destination Dispatch, Miconic 10, and Gen2.

Yes, I too liked Montgomery elevators & escalators. It would be amazing if Dover, Westinghouse, and Montgomery were still in business today.
Don't you mean "Montgomery Globe and Parallelogram" not "Kone?" LOL Anyway, great vid! Never seen so many "G&P" escalators all at once!
