Holding escalator handrails is one of the best ways to protect yourself from falling on an escalator if it suddenly stops – unfortunately, many do not hold the handrail.
The Daejeon Subway selected ADRail to promote a series of escalator safety cautions by putting messages directly where they would have the most impact – at the hands of the escalator passenger.
Escalator Handrail Company, Inc. (EHC), the world’s leading supplier of escalator components, has announced its corporate name change to EHC GLOBAL. “It was felt that the timing is now right for us to revise our global corporate identity to better represent our rapid growth and diverse product range” said Jeno Eppel, President; “in the past 18 months, we have expanded our global operations to manufacture and distribute polyurethane products, radiation detection systems and bicycles – in addition to the recently announced manufacturing facility for elevator and escalator roller production”.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the company, which started in Oshawa Canada in 1977 and where it still maintains its head office. In addition to regional sales and manufacturing facilities in China, Japan, Germany, Slovakia, EHC has long recognized the value of partnership, and continues to form strategic alliances in key global markets. “We are excited about the many opportunities available to EHC globally”, said Eppel.
