With the registration of Sino-German joint venture – Shanghai Elgin-ERNST Stairs Manufacturing Co., Ltd, the employees from ERNST Germany started working in Shanghai, which also indicates that Shanghai Elgin and ERNST Germany have made further cooperation.

In 2002, Shanghai Elgin Stairs first introduced Italian stairs. After that, it successfully cooperated with TM Stairs Company in Spain, ERNST Stairs Company in Germany, Minka in Austria and set up “Elgin International”. At the same time, we built Elgin Stairs factory, TM-Elgin stairs factory and ERNST-Elgin stairs factory in Shanghai.

Acting as an agent for ERNST for three years, Elgin started cooperation with the famous German stairs manufacturer “ERNST” which has a history of more than 110 years to develop stairs market in China. They purchased a land in Songjiang District, Shanghai to build a top-ranking modern stairs manufacturing company – Shanghai Elgin-ERNST Stairs Manufacturing Co, Ltd which covers an area of 25,000 square meters with the floor area of 20,000 square meters. They invested over 20 million RMB on equipment. 5% of the total is used to introduce advanced stairs design and processing software from Germany. 30% is used to buy two pieces of most advanced PE-FO CNC center (the first one in the country) in the world, which made machining of three-dimension abnormal curve spare parts possible. Besides these, Elgin’s handrail and one-time side board processing made its products more competitive.

The joint venture would be put into production early next year. A set of domestically and internationally advanced equipment as well as a number of excellent talents will gradually be brought into the new company. Elgin-ERNST Stairs Manufacturing Co, Ltd will stand by the Huangpu River as the top stairs manufacturer in the world, creating world-famous stairs brand for China, leading Chinese stairs manufacture industry to the standard, series and modern era.
