When it comes to elevators, you either know Schindler $SCHN (+1,42%) from der🇨🇭, Kone $KNEBV (+1,15%) from 🇫🇮 or Thyssen Krupp $TKA (-1,74%) from 🇩🇪.

But the market leader is Otis from 🇺🇸 and in fact most of the apartment buildings that have been built recently in my city have an Otis elevator. The difference to the others, the Otis elevators have a fancy display with weather forecast and news ticker. If I hadn't invested here, I probably would never have noticed which manufacturer the elevator is from.

It's always interesting to see which companies you get to know that you didn't have on your radar or didn't even know about.

As a shareholder in the MFH, I notice from the logo on the horrendous maintenance bills that our elevator is from Otis... I should immediately work out how many shares I would need to be able to pay for the dirty thing from the dividend.

Is the order book at $SCHN actually called Schindler's List?

I have Kone, it hasn't been doing so well for 3 years, but I'm convinced of it in the long term. Elevators and escalators are a good business, as you can see from the long-term charts of the 3 big companies.

Interesting business. But I always lack the imagination for much growth. But I'll take a closer look
