About the role
Think back—was there ever an elevator ride that made you go, “Whoa, this is nice”?
Maybe it was an elegant glass lift or a minimalist stainless-steel rocket.
It might have shaped your first impression or left a lasting memory of a building.
Chances are, the details made the difference; with an aesthetic interior and stylish, well-built buttons and fixtures. Immersive digital technology like visual displays may have turned a simple ride into a memorable experience as well. You may not have noticed these details then, but once you’ve worked with us, you’ll start noticing them everywhere you go.
Company Overview
We have a vision – to have a MAD product in every elevator. Headquartered in Mississauga Canada, our 80,000 sq. foot facility focuses on the efficient production of industry-leading fixtures, high quality elevator car interiors, and cutting-edge digital products.
