About Richmond Elevator Maintenance LTD.

Construction
201-500 employees
Founded in 1974

Richmond Elevator (REM) was established in 1974, by Walter and Irene Zachata as a source of elevator installation and maintenance for low-rise apartments. From modest beginnings, REM has grown into a highly successful third generation business providing elevator service for many applications.

As a leader in elevator manufacturing, REM provides high-rise traction and low-rise hydraulic packages for a variety of applications. We also know that it is important to provide the right elevator for the right building. We offer custom designed packages in addition to a wide variety of standard products.

With new elevator installations in excess of 9000+ units and thousands of units under contract maintenance, REM has earned the distinction of being the largest independent elevator company in Canada. Richmond Elevator is a full service organization with capabilities for all kinds of elevator installation, custom work, modernization and contractual elevator maintenance required by code.

Our Philosophy at REM is "a good product backed by good service will always promote itself"​ With this in mind, we continue to concentrate our energies on a reliable, well engineered product which is both architecturally attractive and competitively priced while maintaining the performance level that REM is known for.

At REM, we want to be a partner with our customer not just a supplier. In addition to our high quality product, we offer the dependability of our local in house engineering department and exceptional support. This commitment has made many leading architects and contractors specify REM for their projects.

REM has, for some years now, installed more elevators in British Columbia than any other company. REM still insists on the same standard of excellence upon which it has built its reputation. As a proud Canadian company we pride ourselves on all our products and services we provide. Walter would not have wanted it any other way, and this principle is continued today.
