Why Alimak
Sustainability
At Alimak, environmental responsibility is at the core of everything we do. From design to delivery, we strive to minimize our carbon footprint and promote sustainable practices throughout the entire lifecycle of our products.
Choosing Alimak means peace of mind – our permanent and temporary elevators, hoists and mast-climbers deliver sustainability throughout their lifecycle, from production to decades of reliable operation.
At Alimak, we are continuously reducing our environmental footprint across all our manufacturing sites. One of our strongest examples is our production facility in Northern Sweden, powered by 100% renewable hydropower and operating with a near‑zero carbon footprint. Lean manufacturing principles further reduce waste and improve efficiency.
This plant serves as a benchmark for sustainability initiatives that we are progressively implementing throughout our global operations.
Thanks to modular design and component commonality, our elevator, hoist and mast-climber products require fewer raw materials and generate less waste. Over 95% of the materials used in our products are recyclable, and refurbishment programs extend product life for decades, reducing environmental impact.
From the very beginning, Alimak has built electrically powered elevators that minimize emissions and maximize energy efficiency. Our elevator technology reduces environmental impact through durable engineering, long product lifecycles and low maintenance needs – supporting safer, cleaner and more sustainable operations across industries for more than 75 years.
Alimak temporary vertical access solutions enhance safety and sustainability and drive overall productivity across the construction industry.
Alimak offers a broad product portfolio of both rack-and-pinion and traction elevators to suit a range of industrial applications.
