Orenstein & Koppel

Orenstein & Koppel (normally abbreviated to O&K or later O&K Kone) was a major German engineering company which specialize railway vehicles, construction equipment, elevators, and escalators.
History
Orenstein & Koppel was founded on April 1, 1876 in Berlin by Benno Orenstein and Arthur Koppel. They started making escalators in the 1960s in West Berlin. In 1987, Kone bought the company and most of their escalators were branded as "O&K KONE". The remaining shares of O&K were bought by Kone in 1995. Few years later, all of O&K's other division were sold to several companies. The railway division was transferred to Bombardier and their construction equipment division was sold to New Holland Construction in 1999.

Trivia
 Orenstein & Koppel had a partnership with the UK-based Keighley Lifts to made few elevators in the United Kingdom. Their elevators were branded as "Keighley O&K". One of their installations was located in Tesco in High Wycombe. However, they have been modernized by Stannah Lifts.
 Most buildings in the 1980s to 1990s that have Orenstein & Koppel escalators also have Kone elevators logo as well.
 As "hkelev.com" stated, some of their escalators handrail are wider than other companies.
 In Australia, their escalators were distributed by Elevators Pty. Ltd. (EPL KONE) and some of their late 1980s escalators were often branded as "O&K EPL. KONE".
