About Accelevator

Founder

Accelevator was founded by Japanese entrepreneur and engineer Yoshi Sito in 2004 with the goal of designing and manufacturing emergency elevators for use in hi-rise commercial and residential buildings. Having been moved by the horrific images he witnessed during the attacks, fires and subsequent collapse of the World Trade Center twin towers in New York city 3 years earlier, Mr. Sito vowed to design and build emergency elevators specifically to bring as many people to ground level as quickly and safety as possible during fires or other emergencies involving hi-rise buildings.
