Home Forums General Discussion DID YOU KNOW? GAL buys Elevator Controls

Seems GAL has acquired Elevator Controls. I wonder how they will go about merging the different controllers. i.e. galaxy, pixel etc.

From what I've heard the companies will both still be there and continue on like they have been. They are just owned by the same holding company that also owns courion and maybe some other companies as well. But who knows what will happen???

Did you know? Elevator Express is the first and only online meeting point for elevator industry professionals and companies throughout the world.
We are a team of elevator professionals who celebrate knowledge, innovation, and over 25 years of experience in the industry. Our team understands the details and complexities of the global elevator business and developed Elevator Express as a way to provide a platform that brings together the elevator community for the benefit of all.

GAL recently bought Courion as well (in Jan 2018). I wouldn't mind seeing GAL freight door integration. Something other than EMS or Peelle.

The Parent company also bought MCE. We are moving to Smartrise for are controllers due to poor quality control from MCE

Smartrise are fine for hydros. But, are not very reliable for traction over 200fpm.
