Cibes Symmetry

What Cibes Symmetry does

Cibes Symmetry designs, manufactures, and distributes residential and commercial elevators and platform lifts in the United States. The company operates through a nationwide network of more than 50 trained and certified authorized dealers, supplemented by strategic partnerships with architects and general contractors, two physical showroom locations (Suwanee, GA; Hollywood, FL), and an online lift configurator for self-directed product selection. Its product portfolio spans four categories: home elevators (Symmetry Dream, Symmetry Asterix, Symmetry Residential Elevator, Ascenda shaftless, Cibes Air, Cibes A4000), vertical platform lifts (Cibes Primo, Cibes Outdoor Lift, Cibes A5000, Symmetry Unenclosed, Shaftway, Enclosure, Hybrid), commercial LULA elevators, and material-handling lifts (Symmetry VRC).

The underlying technology spans hydraulic, inline gear drive, winding drum, screw-driven (EcoSilent), and pneumatic systems, with proprietary features including a 45% energy-reduction EcoSilent drive system operating at 40 dB, a shaftless Ascenda elevator architecture for two-floor residential travel, and the self-supporting Cibes Air shaft with integrated glass panels. Manufacturing is conducted in owned factories in the United States and Sweden, enabling extensive customization of cabs, finishes, and configurations. The company emphasizes regulatory compliance (ADA, ASME A17.1/A18.1) and sustainability claims including 91% recyclability on the A5000 platform lift and a 25-year calculated product lifetime.

Cibes Symmetry originated as Symmetry Elevating Solutions, founded in 2008 by an entrepreneurial group, and became a subsidiary of Cibes Lift Group in 2022, combining Swedish engineering heritage (75+ years) with US manufacturing and dealer infrastructure. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales distributed via the dealer network, with recurring revenue from maintenance contracts and extended warranties (industry-leading 3-year coverage). Pricing is quote-based and varies by model, configuration, and installation requirements. The company serves a fragmented customer base spanning individual homeowners seeking aging-in-place and luxury solutions, commercial property owners requiring ADA compliance, public/institutional buyers (schools, churches, libraries, community centers), and industrial buyers of material-handling lifts. Corporate headcount is approximately 20 employees, reflecting the dealer-mediated go-to-market model.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• KONE Corporation: Finnish elevator manufacturer with significant presence across residential low-rise and commercial buildings. Competes indirectly with Cibes Symmetry in low-rise commercial LULA applications and modernizations, but does not target the bespoke accessibility-platform-lift niche.
• Otis Worldwide: World's largest elevator and escalator manufacturer with broad residential, commercial, and service offerings. Competes with Cibes Symmetry in the LULA/low-rise commercial segment and through its Gen2 residential line, though Otis does not specialize in the small-footprint accessibility niche.
• Schindler Group: Global elevator and escalator manufacturer serving residential, commercial, and industrial markets. Indirect competitor through broader low-rise residential elevator offerings and large-scale service infrastructure.
• ThyssenKrupp Access (TK Access Solutions): Global elevator company's accessibility division producing home lifts, stair lifts, and platform lifts alongside its core elevator business. Adjacent competitor with broader portfolio, less specialization in US residential elevator retrofitting.

Direct peers

• Savaria Corporation: Public Canadian manufacturer and installer of residential elevators, platform lifts, stair lifts, and accessibility solutions across North America. Closest like-for-like competitor to Cibes Symmetry, competing across residential elevators and commercial LULA installations with a comparable dealer-and-direct service model.
• Handicare Group: Global accessibility-equipment manufacturer (now part of Savaria) producing stair lifts, platform lifts, and home elevators. Overlaps significantly with Cibes Symmetry's residential and commercial accessibility product lines in design and channel structure.
• Stannah: UK-headquartered family-owned manufacturer of stair lifts, home elevators, and platform lifts with a strong North American footprint. Directly comparable in product breadth across residential accessibility lifts and energy-efficient drive systems.
• Inclinator Company of America: Long-standing US manufacturer of residential elevators and dumbwaiters serving single-family and multi-family homes. Competes head-to-head with Cibes Symmetry in the customizable home-elevator segment where Symmetry specializes.
• Bruno Independent Living Aids: US-based manufacturer of stair lifts, vertical platform lifts, and auto lifts sold through a nationwide dealer network. Direct competitor in the residential and commercial accessibility platform-lift category where Cibes Symmetry competes.

Emerging players

• Pneumatic Vacuum Elevators: Niche US manufacturer of self-supporting vacuum-driven home elevators with a distinctive cylindrical design. Comparable as a residential elevator competitor that bypasses traditional shaft construction, similar to Cibes Symmetry's Ascenda and Cibes Air shaftless offerings.
