Mumbai, April 8th, 2020: With the uncertainties related to the calamitous COVID – 19 pandemic that has impacted the global elevator industry, the “International Sourcing Exposition for Elevators & Escalators” for 2020 (ISEE 2020) has been postponed to May 6th – 8th, 2021. The exhibitors who have already signed up for ISEE 2020 have immediately and unanimously welcomed the decision to postpone the expo dates.

Suraj Thodimarath, Wittur India stated, “I agree that postponing the ISEE event to 2021 is the right decision. It will give the industry much needed time to recover from the COVID situation and ensure that we are in a strong position to leverage an international crowd when the expo takes place next year.”

Ashok Ramachandran, Schindler India commented, “I really appreciate TAK Expo for being proactive and foresighted to postpone the ISEE 2020 to May 2021. When we are reeling through this pandemic crisis, this is a welcome step and am very thankful to TAK Mathews for this approach. Well done.”

Diana Ji, Nidec said “The mission for elevator industry is to provide not only efficiency, but also safety to everyone. To postpone the show is an intelligent way to ensure we are in good condition when we work for people’s lives. Uniting the colleagues who share same goals, we will go further even if we slow down for a while.”

V. Jagannathan, Johnson Lifts stated, “In this hour of crisis worldwide and uncertainty in business climate and travel restrictions, it is not at all advisable to hold ISEE 2020 in the current year. Please look at postponing to second quarter of next year.”

Nakul Mehta, Bharat Bijlee commented, “We appreciate the decision to postpone ISEE 2020 to May 2021. The current economic and humanitarian crisis must take priority above everything else. The delay gives the industry and all the stakeholders a chance to return to normalcy.”

Hiren Panchal, Apson Motors said, “We appreciate this wise decision to shift ISEE 2020 to May 2021 due to unpredictable effect of COVID-19. We support TAK Expo in this brave decision. Hope everything will get well soon and we will lift the industry together.”
