TAIWANESE VT SUPPLIER CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC AMID COVID-19

Golden Friends Corp., one of Taiwan’s largest suppliers of vertical-transportation (VT) equipment, says it is cautiously optimistic about business in the second quarter, despite seeing a slight first-quarter profit drop compared to last year, Taipei Times reports. Construction of high-rise buildings in Taiwan promises to generate new elevator business, while maintenance, repair and replacement are expected to hold steady, the company says, adding it is “continuing to optimize its product mix amid the COVID-19 pandemic.” During the first quarter, Golden Friends replaced more than 100 and repaired more than 10,000 elevators. Notable projects this quarter include the China Medical University in Taichung and National Taiwan University Hospital in Taipei.
