ELA, the voice of the lift, escalator and moving walk industry in Europe

ELA, the European Lift Association, represents the lifts, escalators and moving walks associations active in the European Union (EU) or the European Free Trade Area (EFTA), whether they are national associations or sector specific associations. ELA also represents their components manufacturers. Thanks to this very wide representation, 
ELA has become the main communication vector of the lift, escalator and moving walkways industry to the European Commission, the European Parliament and a range of other institutions and organizations. Its aim is also to help the national associations in their dialogue with their respective governments.

ELA is the result of the transformation of the European Forum of the National Lift Associations (EFLA) into the wider ranging European Lift Association, in the course of 2002. The by-laws changes have been published in the Belgian official journal (Belgisch Staatsblad – Moniteur Belge) on September 25th, 2002.

ELA welcomes EEA, the European Elevator Association, as one of its members, next to the other associations representing the world of lifts in Europe.
