Esse-Ti, part of the Innovalift group, acquire 100 per cent of the shares in Syntium Lifts (“Syntium”), based in Kent in the UK, to expand its geographical reach of lift communication products for lifts and elevators.

Syntium is a leading UK specialist distributor of lift communication products for elevators, primarily for the growing modernization segment. The company, founded in 2010 by Dave O’Brien, sells complete lift communication solutions such as autodialler units, evacuation intercom systems and routers with associated SIM card services. Syntium has net sales in excess of GBP 2M, exclusive to the UK and Ireland, and a profitability well above Latour’s (owner of Innovalift group) wholly owned industrial operations.

"We are happy to finally welcome Syntium into the Esse-Ti and Innovalift family, further strengthening our strong existing partnership. Through this acquisition, we elevate our position within lift communication solutions in the UK. I look forward to collaborating with Dave and the team and to be growing and developing the company further as a part of Esse-Ti and Innovalift”, says Alessandra Mancinelli, CEO of Esse-Ti.

"I am very pleased to partner with Esse-Ti and Innovalift. I am confident that Syntium will benefit from being a part of the greater Innovalift family, and the resulting collaboration across all the sister companies. I am certain that this will benefit all our customers and our great team of employees”, says Dave O’Brien, Managing Director of Syntium.
