History

In 1991, Louser became the only sole distributor of Haisung elevator machines from South Korea in Indonesia, and at the same time the company started marketing passenger elevators.

Trivia
SJEC-Louser name on a SJEC escalator (installed by Louser) in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Louser-SJEC name on a 2000 SJEC escalator in Semarang, Indonesia.
- At one time Louser was a distributor of SJEC escalators and moving walks, and these products were installed either under the "SJEC-LOUSER" name[3] or under the "LOUSER-SJEC" name. Louser did not distribute SJEC elevators, as those products are already handled by another distributor PT. Prawita Karya. It is unknown if Louser still distributes SJEC escalators and moving walkways.
- Louser is known to use Samil Eltec elevator control systems, LCD floor indicators and possibly other components for their newer installations and modernization. In addition, Louser is a distributor of Samil Eltec products.
