KONE's mission is to improve the flow of urban life. The Finnish-headquartered elevator and escalator engineering and maintenance company is responsible for 1.1 million elevators worldwide. As well as office and apartments, it runs people moving machinery at airports, stadiums and exhibition venues. At Heathrow airport in London alone, it is responsible for moving 191,000 people daily, using 1,035 escalators, elevators and autowalks. This is a huge responsibility, as breakdowns or faulty equipment could cause delays affecting thousands of people.
