About

At KONE, we believe that shaping the future of cities requires both technical excellence and human-centered thinking. Founded in Helsinki in 1910, we've grown from a small machine repair shop into a global leader moving 2 billion people every day. Our culture is built on safety-first principles, innovation, and deep collaboration across our 60,000+ employees in 60+ countries. We don't just build elevators and escalators - we design complete People Flow experiences that make urban life safer, more convenient, and more sustainable.

Our engineers and technicians work in cross-functional teams that combine physical hardware with smart digital systems. From our high-rise laboratories to local service centers, we empower teams to take real ownership of their work. We've been recognized as innovation and sustainability leaders because we invest in R&D - holding over 3,000 patents - and because our people are encouraged to push boundaries. Whether you're in IoT, AI, cloud architecture, or mechanical engineering, you'll find a culture that values learning, collaboration, and meaningful impact on how millions experience the cities they call home.
