Today’s supply chains are global, but TKE products for Europe still bear the label “Made in Europe”. At our factories and product competence centres in Germany and Spain we engineer and produce the full range of our escalators and moving walks products for both new installation and modernisation.
TKE means Made in Europe
The history of our largest European factory in Hamburg, Germany dates back to 1908. In Asturias, in the north of Spain, we started to produce escalators and moving walks in 1991. Tens of thousands of units have since then shipped from both sites to shopping centres, department stores, airports and public transportation hubs. They keep people on the move in virtually all of Europe’s major cities and are valued worldwide for their quality and reliability.

Our crews of experienced engineers and highly-skilled workers are known for their impeccable craftsmanship and the passion they put in everything they produce – whether it’s a light department store moving walk or a customised heavy-duty escalator for a busy railway station. But they are not resting on their laurels: TKE’s track record as one of our industry’s innovation leaders on energy efficiency and digitalisation proves that “Made in Europe” is primarily to the benefit our customers – they continue to get the best product from right next door.
