LIFTEX 2022 was the biggest yet in its 34 year history. the tri-annual trade show organised by LEIA took place in October at London’s ExCeL, having been postponed from its usual May spot due to the pandemic. The 34th edition saw a 22% increase in attendance with over 4,000 attendees across the two days.

The show floor was buzzing throughout, and visitors had the opportunity to meet over 100 exhibitors from 12 different countries including the UK, Croatia, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA.

Reflecting on the event, Oliver Greening, LIFTEX show director, commented, “we are delighted with the success of this year’s show, and it was great to see the industry reconvene under one roof once again. this was the first time we’ve had a breadth of industry representation from contractors, service companies, component suppliers and organisations from support services. this included hosting the major players Schindler, Otis and TKE for the first time and welcoming back Wittur after a short break. the overwhelming message from visitors and exhibitors alike is that LIFTEX plays a vital role in supporting the UK lift and escalator industry. Many we spoke to told us they couldn’t miss it for that very reason.”
