Isralift is a subsidiary of Kone and one of the largest elevator companies in Israel. It was founded in 1961.
History
Isralift was established on 1961 by Yaacov Ilan and his two sons, Solomon and Michael Ilan. They started manufacturing elevators in a small workshop at 84 Ben Yehuda Street in Tel Aviv. In that workshop, they made their elevators by themselves, including the controllers and door interlocks. Although Isralift made elevators by themselves, they were a distributor of three elevator companies; in the 1970's they were a distributor of Falconi, in the late 1980's and the early 1990's they were a distributor of Thyssen and from the 1990's to January 2013 they were a distributor of Kone.
Somewhere in the 1990's, they moved their factory and headquarters to Kadima Zoran. In 2009, Isralift and Kone made an agreement that Isralift will be the only distributor of Kone elevators in Israel and Isralift will stop manufacturing elevators. Since 2009, Isralift stopped manufacturing elevators because of their agreement with Kone, and only make their elevator fixtures for modernization. On January 1, 2013, Isralift was acquired by Kone from Michael Ilan[1]. Kone decided to keep the name Isralift because of Isralift's reputation in Israel.
