"We have had a lot of interest in KONE UltraRope globally since it was announced in June, and I am very excited that the first global installation was made here in Singapore at the impressive Marina Bay Sands, a symbol of the city and of innovative building technology. Marina Bay Sands is a pioneer in adopting state-of-the-art technology and of smart building, and it is very fitting that our first KONE UltraRope installation was made here," said Noud Veeger, Executive Vice President and Area Director for KONE in Asia-Pacific and Middle East. The modernized KONE MiniSpace(TM) was taken into use in September, and will be made public in connection with the World Architecture Festival (WAF), which is held on the island state in the first week of October.
