01 · Global Partnerships
Years of manufacturing and OEM cooperation
Long-Term Industry Cooperation Behind Broader Elevator Solutions
JAFITA’s ability to support different elevator categories did not develop overnight.
It has been built through more than two decades of manufacturing experience, OEM cooperation and long-term relationships within the elevator industry.
02 · Partnerships Built Through OEM Experience
Cooperation That Goes Beyond Buying and Selling
OEM cooperation requires a higher level of coordination than ordinary product sourcing.
The manufacturer must work to agreed technical specifications, maintain product consistency and coordinate production, components, documentation and delivery requirements with another elevator company. Through long-term OEM projects, JAFITA developed experience in:
- Technical specification control
- Product configuration
- Component coordination
- Manufacturing communication
- Quality management
- Production scheduling
- Documentation
- Repeat-order consistency
- Supply-chain coordination
These projects also helped JAFITA continuously improve its internal management processes and develop a more stable and efficient supply-chain system.
03 · Why Industry Partnerships Matter
No Single Product Platform Is Ideal for Every Project
The elevator industry is highly specialized. Different manufacturers often have different strengths in:
- Passenger elevators
- Freight elevators
- Heavy-duty applications
- Hospital elevators
- Home elevators
- Escalators
- Moving walks
- Elevator components
A supplier that performs strongly in one category may not necessarily be the best choice for another. JAFITA’s long-term industry relationships allow us to evaluate different product and manufacturing resources according to the actual project — giving buyers more flexibility when applications, technical requirements or budget levels differ.
04 · From Freight Elevator Manufacturing to a Broader Supply Network
A Manufacturing Foundation That Opened More Industry Connections
Freight elevator production has been one of JAFITA’s core strengths. That capability enabled us to provide OEM services for multiple elevator brands and establish long-term working relationships within the industry.
As these relationships developed, JAFITA gained broader access to specialist factories and different elevator technologies. This gradually expanded our business from a freight-elevator manufacturing base into a wider supply network capable of supporting multiple elevator categories.
Complementary strength 01
Manufacturing Understanding
Practical experience with elevator structures, components, production and OEM requirements.
Complementary strength 02
Industry Resource Integration
Access to different manufacturing and component resources according to the project.
Together, these capabilities allow us to approach each project with more than one possible supply route.
05 · What This Means for Our Customers
More Choice Without More Coordination
Multiple suppliers create more options — and more complexity. JAFITA coordinates those resources through one project team.
-
01
Wider Product Coverage
Different elevator and escalator categories through one supplier relationship.
-
02
Suitable Product Selection
Products and factories evaluated against the actual application.
-
03
Centralized Communication
Project requirements handled by one team, not multiple unrelated contacts.
-
04
Coordinated Documentation
Technical and commercial information organized around one project scope.
-
05
Combined Project Supply
Different equipment categories coordinated within the same project where required.
06 · Multi-Brand Does Not Mean Random Sourcing
Product Selection Must Still Be Technical
A broad supplier network is only valuable when the products are selected correctly. JAFITA does not treat multi-brand supply as simply offering more catalogs.
Before recommending a product or supply route, we review the project conditions that determine whether a solution is suitable.
Building type
Application and traffic pattern before the catalog.
Rated load & speed
Duty that the selected platform must actually support.
Travel & stops
Height and landing count that change the machine and control package.
Hoistway & entrances
Shaft conditions and entrance arrangements that decide feasibility.
Operating environment
Freight, hospital, residential or public-use conditions.
Market, standard & budget
Destination requirements, applicable standards, budget and delivery.
The goal is not to maximize the number of options. The goal is to identify a practical configuration for the project.
07 · Complete Elevator Project Coordination
Different Equipment, One Project Logic
Some projects require several types of vertical transportation equipment. Through our broader industry network, JAFITA can help coordinate these different product categories around one project scope.
Commercial Developments
Passenger elevators, freight elevators and escalators may all be required within one property.
Hotels
Guest elevators, service elevators and dumbwaiters may have different operational requirements.
Hospitals
Passenger elevators and bed elevators may need different dimensions, control functions and traffic priorities.
Industrial Facilities
Freight elevators, heavy-duty elevators and replacement components may all form part of the same supply requirement.
08 · Elevator Component Partnerships
Complete Systems Depend on the Right Components
Our industry relationships also extend to elevator components. Different projects may require specific traction machines, controllers, door systems, safety components, operating fixtures or replacement parts.
Through long-term cooperation within the elevator supply chain, JAFITA has developed access to a wider range of component resources. For replacement parts, compatibility is checked according to model and technical information rather than appearance alone.
Drive, Control & Fixtures
The systems that move the car and the interfaces passengers use every day.
- Traction machines
- Controllers and control cabinets
- Inverters
- COP, LOP and displays
Doors, Cabin & Structure
Assemblies that must match the shaft, entrance and car configuration.
- Door operators
- Landing and car-door systems
- Elevator cabins
- Guide rails and suspension
Safety, Electrical & Spares
Supporting parts for complete systems and later replacement enquiries.
- Safety components
- Electrical components
- Escalator components
- Replacement parts
09 · Partnerships for OEM & Private-Label Supply
Supporting Distributors and Elevator Companies
Our OEM background is also relevant to customers who are developing their own product lines.
Depending on the project and selected product, JAFITA can discuss cooperation with elevator distributors, installation companies, regional elevator brands, contractors, maintenance companies and project suppliers. OEM or private-label requirements may involve:
- Brand identification
- Product nameplates
- Customized finishes
- Operating-panel branding
- Packaging marks
- Technical documentation
- Market-specific configurations
- Repeat-order product records
The applicable scope is confirmed according to the product category, quantity and technical requirements.
10 · Long-Term Relationships Matter
Repeat Projects Need Consistency
In elevator procurement, the first order is only one part of the relationship.
Distributors, contractors and elevator companies often need to return later for:
- Repeat equipment
- Additional units
- Replacement components
- Spare parts
- Matching finishes
- Technical documents
- Product updates
Long-term industry and customer relationships make this process more efficient because previously confirmed configurations and product information can provide a clearer reference for future requirements. This is one of the reasons JAFITA places value on stable cooperation rather than one-time transactions.
11 · Our Partnership Principle
Choose Resources Around the Project
JAFITA’s partnership strategy is project-first. We match manufacturing resources to the building, the duty and the delivery — not to a single catalog.
