As Egypt’s construction sector continues to witness significant growth, developers are increasingly focusing on creating efficient, sustainable, and future-ready buildings that meet the evolving needs of modern communities.
In line with this trend, KONE Egypt, a global leader in elevator and escalator solutions, and arabtec, one of Egypt’s leading engineering, construction, and project management companies, have signed a long-term strategic cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening collaboration during the early planning and design stages of upcoming projects.
The partnership reflects both companies’ commitment to supporting Egypt’s urban development through integrated solutions that enhance building efficiency, improve user experience, and deliver long-term value for developers and building occupants.
Strategic Collaboration to Improve Building Design and Efficiency
The agreement establishes a comprehensive cooperation framework combining KONE Egypt’s expertise in elevators, escalators, and People Flow solutions with arabtec’s engineering capabilities and project execution experience.
Through early integration of vertical transportation planning into building designs, the partnership will help developers analyze movement patterns inside buildings, make more effective design decisions, and reduce potential challenges during construction and operation phases.
This approach supports the development of buildings that are safer, more efficient, easier to operate, and better prepared to meet future demands.
Supporting Smart and Sustainable Construction Projects in Egypt
The cooperation highlights the growing importance of coordination between architectural design, engineering, construction, and mobility planning in modern developments.
By incorporating advanced building mobility solutions from the initial design phase, KONE Egypt and arabtec aim to support the delivery of high-performance buildings that provide improved functionality, operational efficiency, and enhanced experiences for users.
The partnership aligns with Egypt’s continued efforts to develop sustainable urban communities and strengthen the construction sector through innovation and advanced technologies.
Integrated Solutions Across the Building Lifecycle
Through this strategic partnership, customers will benefit from arabtec’s extensive experience in delivering residential, commercial, hospitality, healthcare, and infrastructure projects, alongside KONE’s expertise throughout the entire building lifecycle.
KONE’s solutions include:
- Early-stage design support
- Elevator and escalator installation
- Modernization solutions
- Predictive maintenance services
- Digital monitoring technologies
- Safety and operational performance solutions
These capabilities enable buildings to maintain higher levels of reliability and efficiency from construction through long-term operation.
KONE Egypt: Innovation Through People Flow Solutions
Commenting on the agreement, Ahmed Fathi, Managing Director of KONE Egypt, said:
“The best-performing buildings are not created by chance; they are shaped through collaboration from the very beginning. By integrating People Flow planning into the earliest stages of project design, we help developers improve building performance, enhance user experiences, and create assets that deliver long-term value.”
He added that the partnership with arabtec reflects KONE Egypt’s commitment to supporting Egypt’s ambitious urban development plans through innovation, technical expertise, and trusted collaboration.
arabtec Highlights the Importance of Early Project Collaboration
Abdelrahman Ismail, Managing Director of arabtec, emphasized the importance of strategic partnerships in delivering successful construction projects.
“At arabtec, we believe successful projects are built on strong partnerships and early collaboration. Working closely with KONE from the design phase enables us to deliver more integrated solutions, improve project efficiency, support better decision-making, and create greater value for our customers.”
He noted that the agreement reinforces the shared commitment of both companies to delivering high-quality developments that contribute to Egypt’s continued economic and urban growth.
A New Step Toward the Future of Smart Buildings in Egypt
Through this strategic cooperation agreement, KONE Egypt and arabtec aim to introduce a more integrated approach to project planning and execution by combining engineering excellence, advanced People Flow solutions, and lifecycle performance expertise.
The partnership represents an important milestone in supporting the next generation of smart, efficient, and sustainable buildings across Egypt, while contributing to the continued advancement of the country’s construction and real estate sectors.
