Alimak AB, headquarter in Skellefteå, Sweden, is the world's leading specialist in Rack & Pinion driven equipment for vertical transportation. We develop, manufacture and market passenger/materials hoists for the construction industry, permanently installed goods/passenger hoists for industrial environments and a range of equipment for applications in underground mining, civil engineering and hydro-electric power generation.

In January 2001, Alimak AB became part of Intervect AB. This new company created excellent opportunities for Alimak to continue to be an innovator and to develop new, more efficient vertical access solutions.

In 2005 the Intervect Group, global providers of vertical access solutions for the construction and other industries, has launched a new worldwide market-driven re-branding strategy encompassing a name change to ALIMAK -- the names of the Group’s two strongest product names.
