Schindler Philippines

What Schindler Philippines does

Schindler Philippines, operating as Jardine Schindler Elevator Corporation, is the Philippine subsidiary of the Swiss Schindler Group, one of the world's largest elevator and escalator manufacturers (founded 1874). The company has operated in the Philippines since 1974 as a joint venture between Schindler Group and Jardine Matheson, delivering vertical transportation solutions across three strategic offices in Metro Manila, Baguio, and Cebu. Its core business spans the installation of elevators, escalators, and moving walks, alongside a comprehensive service portfolio covering maintenance, modernization, and digital services.

The company's technology platform rests on the Schindler product family (Schindler 3000, 5000, 6000, 7000, Villa Lift, 2600 freight, 9300/9700 escalators, 9500 moving walks), destination control via PORT Technology, and the Schindler Ahead digital connectivity platform that enables 24/7 Technical Operation Center monitoring, predictive maintenance, MediaScreen/SmartMirror/AdScreen in-car digital services, and the ElevateMe mobile app. Innovations include Schindler R.I.S.E (the world's first robotic installation system), Schindler CLIMB Lift for high-rise construction, the Schindler SLIM scaffold-less installation methodology (up to 30% time savings), and CleanMobility solutions addressing post-pandemic hygiene requirements. The company employs Building Information Modeling (BIM) across planning, design, construction, and maintenance phases, and was recognized as best manufacturer in Digital Engineering by CIBSE.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time installation sales (new elevators/escalators/moving walks for residential, commercial, hospitality, retail, transport, healthcare, and institutional projects) and recurring revenue from maintenance/service contracts, modernization solutions (ReStore, ReNew, RePlace), and digital services subscriptions. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting major Philippine real estate developers (Megaworld, Robinsons Land, SMDC, Shang Properties) and signature commercial projects (Solaire Resort North, Shangri-La The Fort, Zuellig Building, Philippine Arena). Notable customers include Bloomberry Resorts, Megaworld Corporation, Robinsons Land Corporation, SM Development Corporation, and Shang Properties Realty Corporation, with Schindler also serving multi-brand maintenance for non-Schindler installed equipment globally (~45% of its maintenance portfolio).
