Gartec Celebrate 25 Years of Lifts

OUR STORY SO FAR…

Gartec Lifts started out as a small lift company in Aylesbury, with a team of just 5 people, in 1994. Going from strength to strength, Gartec was then purchased by our Swedish lift manufacturer, Aritco Lifts, and took off!

TheĀ 7000 platform liftĀ became the key player in the mix and has been installed in thousands of buildings across the UK.

2019: CELEBRATING LIFT INDUSTRY EXCELLENCE

 

GROWING AND IMPROVING

Gartec made some changes during growth, with a new Managing Director taking a leading role and improving the company culture and ethos. Our home lift division was created to provide extra care in homeowner buildings, and our servicing and maintenance team was born.

Spare parts and trade sales became a bigger part of the business, and our offices were turned into a showroom for theĀ 6000,Ā 7000Ā and SmartĀ HomeLiftĀ models.

 

ONWARDS AND UPWARDSā€¦

With our parent company behind us, and working closely with our industry associations LEIA and EPSA, our company has grown to include over 50 staff members.

We now have a nationwide network of engineers and installers, and a wider range of lifts ā€“ fromĀ goods liftsĀ to service lifts,Ā dumb waitersĀ to traction lifts. Our Goods Lift Division, Home Lift Division and Trade Division are thriving!

Now, Gartec are able to help with almost any access project in the UK, with BIM objects andĀ CPDĀ (continung professional development) learning modules helping to educate and support architects and construction teams.

Proud to be providing access with 25 years of lifts, Gartec will be celebrating throughout 2019 ā€“ watch this space!
