March 2023

There are just four weeks between the terrible earthquake in the Turkish-Syrian border region and the opening of the Asansör elevator trade show. Some exhibitors openly show their sympathy with the people in the ten affected provinces of Turkey. Despite all the grief, people are trying to get back to normality during the four days in Istanbul.
