Schindler’s production sites

Schindler’s production sites encompass final part production and assembly. Schindler measures the environmental footprint of its production sites and monitors reductions in waste, while continuing to improve quality. In 2025, 15 Schindler’s production sites were ISO 14001 certified, and 15 attained ISO 9001 certification for robust quality management systems. Selected production sites in India, Switzerland, and China have green building certification.

Packaging remains an indispensable part of Schindler’s business as it is needed to transport Schindler’s products and those of its suppliers safely to their destinations. Schindler is expanding the initiative of modular packaging, which combines standardized components with customizable solutions globally. This approach has increased loading capacity for trucks from production sites to consolidation hubs, and nearly 99% of materials used are recyclable. Schindler is also implementing several initiatives at selected production sites to reduce plastic packaging and minimize waste across its operations. These efforts include eliminating unnecessary plastic in packaging, replacing plastic bubble wrap with recycled cardboard, and introducing systems for the return and reuse of certain types of packaging.
