A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 333921-02 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

• The history of the Elevators & Moving Stairways (Manufacturing) industry dates back to the mid-19th century when the first passenger elevator was installed in a New York City department store. The industry saw significant growth in the early 20th century, with the introduction of electric elevators and the construction of skyscrapers. In the 1920s, the Otis Elevator Company introduced the first escalator, which revolutionized the transportation of people in public spaces. In recent history, the industry has seen advancements in technology, including the development of smart elevators that use artificial intelligence to optimize traffic flow and reduce wait times. In the United States, the industry has also seen an increased focus on safety, with the implementation of stricter regulations and the development of safety features such as emergency brakes and backup power systems.
