Eastern Elevator Service & Sales Company, was founded in June 1959 with two initial customers who have been with us from the beginning. The new company expressed a sincere desire to provide the customer with quality service at the most economical price. In the highly competitive business world then, as now, this highly specialized service is what allowed the new company to survive and presently service over 1600 accounts and 2100 elevators. Eastern Elevator currently works in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Eastern Ohio, Northern Virginia, and Northern West Virginia. In the beginning, Eastern Elevator’s focus was the maintenance and service of elevators. However, when the major elevator companies started designing proprietary controls, Eastern took action to protect their customers by starting a construction division. Our philosophy has always been to protect our customers from outrageous maintenance costs by providing components that any elevator technician can service. We welcome the opportunity to quote against our competition because we are confident we can offer our customers the best service at the most economical price. Eastern Elevator specializes in the maintenance, service, modernization, and construction of all types of hydraulic, traction, and freight elevators. With all of our capabilities and over 63 years of experience, we can offer our customers an added sense of security. Security in the knowledge that, not only can we design and install a complete vertical transportation system, but we will also be there to maintain and service the equipment for years to come. On December 31, 2020, Eastern was acquired by the American Elevator Group, an organization of like-minded elevator contractors whose goal is to provide a nationwide Non-Proprietary alternative to the major elevator manufacturers’ Proprietary equipment. The management group at Eastern remains the same as it has in the past, and, with the added resources available to us as part of AEG, the future is bright.
