iLIFT

What iLIFT does

iLIFT is a privately held Polish family company, headquartered in Gdynia (Pomerania), that designs, manufactures, installs, modernizes, and services vertical-transport systems including passenger elevators, freight elevators, platform lifts, cabin lifts, and self-supporting steel lift shafts. The product portfolio spans iLIFT's own iLift-SET passenger elevator line (models SET_450, SET_630, and SET_1000 with capacities of 450-1,000 kg and lifting heights up to 30 m, using gearless motors, frequency converters, and machine-room-less architecture), resold Swedish Cibes platform lifts (A4000, A5000, A5000H, C1 Pure) and Kranplatt accessibility lifts, plus prefabricated steel lift shafts that can be installed internally or externally and finished in glass, painted steel, stainless steel, or gypsum board. The company's primary technical differentiator is a proprietary prefabricated external shaft with embedded heating and electrical installations, which it claims is unique on the Polish market and enables a 3-week production-to-assembly timeline.

The business operates a B2B direct-sales model targeting property developers, building owners, industrial enterprises (bakeries, hospitals), and accessibility-focused public institutions across Poland, with active international expansion into Germany (via partnerships with BRAUN AUFZÜGE and Meiller Aufzugtüren) and the UAE (via a cooperation agreement with Sheikh Ahmed Bin Faisal Al-Qassimi of the Al-Qassimi royal family). Revenue is generated through hardware sales of new lifts and steel shafts, modernization project services, and recurring 24/7 maintenance contracts covering iLIFT's own equipment as well as lifts from other manufacturers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and customers are directed to contact the firm by phone or email for quotations. Marketing is conducted through a company blog/pressroom, international trade shows (The Big 5 Dubai, UDT Technical Conference), industry-association relationships, and a VR visualization tool (iLift Creator).

The company is family-controlled, with ownership held by CEO Jerzy Rejkowski (an industry veteran since the 1970s), CEO Sławomir Rejkowski, and co-owner Piotr Kril. The firm operates with a lean team of approximately 7 employees and has raised no external funding. Addressable market opportunity is anchored by an estimated 20,000 Polish lifts installed between 1970 and 1990 requiring modernization.

Revenue model

1. Lift Equipment Sales (New Installations): iLIFT designs, manufactures, and installs new passenger elevators, freight elevators, and platform lifts. Revenue is generated from the sale of equipment and installation services, including their proprietary prefabricated external steel shafts. Lead times are short (3 weeks for shaft production, 3 days for assembly), supporting rapid project turnover.
2. Lift Shaft Construction: iLIFT designs and constructs steel lift shafts (self-supporting structures) for both internal and external installation, including transparent glass shafts. This is a distinct revenue stream alongside equipment sales.
3. Modernization Services: iLIFT specializes in installing new lifts in existing buildings, modernizing aging lift fleets. Given approximately 20,000 lifts in Poland installed between 1970-1990 requiring urgent modernization, this represents a significant and growing revenue stream.
4. Maintenance and Repair Services: iLIFT provides round-the-clock service for repair, maintenance, and technical inspections of lifts and accessibility platforms for the disabled. The company services equipment from all manufacturers, providing recurring service revenue.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• KONE: Finnish elevator and escalator major with strong MRL and modernization offerings in Poland and across EMEA; competes with iLIFT in the same customer segments but as a full-portfolio incumbent rather than a focused niche specialist.
• Schindler: Global elevator and escalator major with a meaningful Polish presence through Schindler Polska; overlaps with iLIFT across residential, commercial, and modernization segments but with vastly broader portfolio and service network.
• ThyssenKrupp Elevator: Global elevator and escalator major with established Polish operations; competes with iLIFT in commercial and modernization bids and represents a benchmark for the scale gap between iLIFT and global majors.
• Otis: Global elevator and escalator market leader with the largest installed base in Poland; competes with iLIFT primarily in commercial new-construction and large modernization contracts where financing, service density, and brand dominate.

Direct peers

• Schumacher Aufzüge: Independent German elevator company providing new installation, modernization, and service across NRW — comparable in size and business mix to iLIFT, and a natural competitor in the DACH market iLIFT is targeting through its German partnerships.
• Kleemann Lifts: Greek manufacturer of residential and commercial elevators, platform lifts, and stairlifts serving European markets. Comparable to iLIFT in mid-market elevator manufacturing with a focus on compact/MRL designs and modernization.
• Sodimas: French independent elevator and platform-lift manufacturer with European distribution — comparable in size and product scope to iLIFT, and a relevant peer for assessing how small independent elevator companies scale internationally.
• Cibes Lift: Swedish manufacturer of modular screw-drive platform lifts (A4000, A5000, C1 Pure) with a 25-year durability rating — iLIFT resells and installs these products in Poland, making Cibes both a supplier and a close peer in the platform-lift segment.
• Schmitt + Sohn Aufzüge: German family-owned elevator and escalator manufacturer/installer with a strong regional footprint — comparable in scale and family-business orientation, and competes with iLIFT in DACH modernization and new-construction bids.
• BRAUN Aufzüge: Medium-sized German family-owned lift company (founded 1986) that designs, manufactures, installs, modernizes and maintains lift systems — directly comparable to iLIFT in business model, size, and product scope. iLIFT has an active strategic partnership with BRAUN announced October 2022.
