During the launch event, Nicolas Lopez, Global Head of Sigma, said, "At Sigma, we are continuously pioneering innovative and robust products with stringent quality and safety standards. We are thrilled to introduce these new elevators, which will enhance the evolving urban infrastructure in Malaysia by delivering compact and reliable solutions for residential and commercial users."

The ACRA™ 2.0 elevator machine room can be configured in a compact design that takes up no additional space beyond the hoistway footprint, which improves installation efficiency and optimizes the use of rooftop area, releasing space for building developers and owners to lease or use in different ways.

The SOLON^® 2.0 elevator requires only a hoistway as it features a compact Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) gearless traction machine and controller that fits inside it. This eliminates the need for a machine room to house the elevator components on top of the building and the cost to construct the room. The rooftop space can be more creatively used and made accessible by SOLON^® 2.0 elevator.

Highlighting on the features of the products, Manivannan, K, Managing Director of Malaysia, Vietnam and Cambodia, said, "With versatile interiors, fixtures featuring an innovative interface that protects passengers from bacteria and superior security features, the ACRA™ 2.0 and Solon^® 2.0 elevators will provide the best aesthetics and comfort for passengers."

Additionally, with a new and improved air ventilation system that exchanges air more than 50 times per hour, the elevators also offer a cleaner and healthier environment for passengers.
