Feb 20,2025


As a leading enterprise in the field of global drive technology and industrial automation, Yaskawa Electric Corporation (headquartered in Kitakyushu, Japan and founded in 1915) has officially established a strategic partnership with Sakura Elevator, which has deep roots in the international market and sells its products in dozens of countries worldwide. In December 2024, Yang Zhizhong, General Manager of Sakura Elevator, and Takashi Ogasawara, President of Yaskawa, held a signing ceremony, marking the beginning of a new chapter in elevator technology innovation for both parties.


This collaboration will fully integrate Sakura Elevator's profound technical expertise in the field of elevator control systems, and join hands with YASKAWA's world-leading Japanese-made drive technology to jointly develop and integrate a new generation of ECS elevator control systems, thereby comprehensively enhancing elevator operation efficiency, safety performance, and intelligence level.


The ECS elevator control system will be exclusively used and sold by Sakura Elevator. Utilizing the latest Japanese drive and control technology, it achieves higher precision in operation control, more efficient system performance, and a smarter management experience, delivering a smoother and more comfortable elevator ride. This powerful partnership will not only lead the smart elevator industry to new heights but also inject new technological vitality and development momentum into the global elevator market.
