ORONA ACQUIRES SCAN HEIS OF NORWAY
Spanish elevator manufacturer Orona recently acquired Scan Heis AS. The 26-year-old Bergen, Norway-based company manufactures elevators and components, and modernizes, repairs and runs a security service. Orona noted the transaction follows its other acquisitions in the country, where it has eight office locations and nearly 100 employees. Former Scan Heis owner Atle Helland has become its managing director. The move follows Orona's acquisitions in France, Poland, Portugal and Norway in 2016.
SHANGHAI BST DISPLAY UNVEILED, INSTALLED
Shanghai BST recently released its thin-film-transistor multimedia system BTV-9 internet-connected elevator display series, which features eight-channel TV processing, live TV broadcasting and wireless Wi-Fi-based parameter settings. The display meets China's Passenger Information System requirements and enables passengers riding a lift car to see real-time information about train operations. In cooperation with Wuhan Otis, nearly 100 BTV-9s have been installed in the panoramic lifts in 26 subway stations of Line 6 in Wuhan, China. Shanghai BST has played an active role with OEMs around the world, such as cooperating with KONE to provide user-friendly components in New York University in 2012.
OVAL RESIDENTIAL TOWERS PROPOSED IN LIVERPOOL
Prospect Capital and its partner hope to build the 27-story Ovatus 1 and 48-story Ovatus 2 residential skyscrapers near the Mersey River in Liverpool, U.K., Place North West reports. Prospect and Wilcox & Wilcox submitted a planning application in late 2016 for Ovatus 1, designed by Hodder + Partners and set to contain approximately 170 homes on Old Hall Street. Prospect expected to submit an application for Ovatus 2, with approximately 500 homes, sometime this year, although construction likely cannot start until a current tenant vacates the premises in 2020.
