JAKARTA, Indonesia, July 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Millennium Mall, located in the heart of the city, has selected Otis Indonesia for an elevator and escalator replacement and modernization project. Otis Indonesia is part of Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: OTIS), the world's leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation, and service company.

Otis Indonesia will modernize 39 units, including replacing 25 escalators, eight elevators and modernizing six escalators of Millennium Mall. To provide a smoother, quieter and more comfortable ride, the existing machine belts in several of the elevators will be replaced with Otis' Gen2^® patented polyurethane-coated steel flat belts that significantly decrease vibration.

To achieve greater energy-efficiency, all elevators in the building will be equipped with Otis' energy-conserving ReGen™ drive, which will convert energy captured during braking back into electricity and reduce annual energy consumption by up to 37% compared to the existing equipment. Additionally, several escalators that are in busy areas will undergo in-truss modernization, where the existing escalator framework is retained and updated with new equipment, minimizing disruption, and reducing downtime for passengers.

"Since launching the world's first safety elevator over 170 years ago, Otis has been at the forefront of innovation, supporting urbanization and infrastructure renewal. With our proven track record in modernizing buildings worldwide, we are delighted to partner with Millennium Mall to provide more efficient, high-performing vertical mobility solutions that will enhance safety and improve passenger experience," said Joseph Hasnan, Otis Indonesia Managing Director.

Previously known as Plaza Atrium, the 8-story shopping center was recently rebranded as Millennium Mall to serve as a one-stop-shop destination and family recreation center for the community.
