Modernization replaces major equipment such as the control panel and the traction machine that moves the car. JES identifies manufacturers discontinuing parts supplies as one source of demand, and says modernization projects are also a promising route into maintenance contracts (presentation, pp.8,31).

THE VIEW AFTER THE NUMBERS
What the numbers suggest
JES takes responsibility for elevators made by different manufacturers, supplying the parts and technicians each model needs. Repairing recovered components and running training facilities are part of that preparation.
Both maintenance and modernization sales grew in the year ended March 2026. Available parts and people who can use them underpin a building owner’s choice of maintenance provider. Behind more than 120,000 contracted units is the work of sustaining that service network across the country.
