\n United Technologies Corporation and Ukraine \u2013 The Path of Perfection\n

\n $\"\"$ \n

\n United Technologies Corporation or just UTC is one of the largest financial and industrial groups in the US that is engaged in many spheres including armament industry, aircraft engineering, construction works, etc. The company\u2019s headquarter is located in Hartford, Connecticut. Luis R. Ceneuvert is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.\n

\n It is worth to admit that UTC is a large holding that encompasses the following companies:\n

\n \u2022 Carrier Corporation which is one of the world's leading companies that are engaged in the production of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, cooling systems.\n

\n \u2022 Hamilton Sundstrand \u2013 a defense company that develops and manufactures aerospace and industrial systems.\n

\n \u2022 Otis that is the world's largest producer of elevators, escalators and moving walkways.\n

\n \u2022 Pratt & Whitney \u2013 a manufacturer of aircraft engines, gas turbines, etc.\n

\n \u2022 Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation which is the world leader in development and production of helicopters for commercial, industrial and military needs.\n

\n \u2022 UTC Fire & Security \u2013 the company, which is devoted to the production of systems for fire safety and the safety of products and services.\n

\n \u2022 UTC Power is a company that produces fuel cells and power systems.\n

\n In this regard, it will be more effective to investigate the cooperation between Ukraine and UTC taking into consideration one particular company that involves a particular range of services and products.\n

\n Otis Helps Ukraine to Move Up and Down\n

\n Elevator company OTIS in Ukraine is focused on assembly, installation, modernization, repair and maintenance of elevators, but at the same time it does not produce this kind of transport, let\u2019s say.\n

\n By the way, earlier, OTIS was engaged in the production of elevators in Kyiv. But the decision to stop the production of elevators in Ukraine was the result of a worldwide initiative to transform production, aimed at optimizing resources to meet the growing demand. OTIS, which has been operating in the Ukrainian market for 25 years, maintains a leading position in the country, strives for further business development. The company has 500 employees in Ukraine up to date.\n

\n It is worth to mention that the company\u2019s product is available in all market segments, including the municipal sector. Nowadays, OTIS is focusing on the new generation of elevators of the GeN2 trademark, which have been introduced in Ukraine in 2016.\n

\n According to the general director, GeN2 elevators can be used in different buildings with or without engine room. Their distinctive feature is the regenerative drive, which helps not only to significantly reduce energy consumption but also return the energy generated by the lift engine back to the electrical network of the building where it can be used by other related systems. As a result, it makes Gen2 more energy efficient than conventional systems.\n

\n Characterizing the market of elevators in Ukraine, the general director noted that there is a huge potential for the replacement or modernization of elevators in Ukraine, taking into account the fact that more than half of them are older than 25 years. It can be explained by simple history. All these elevators were installed during USSR, therefore, all of them are much older than it should be.\n

\n Consequently, one essential question may arise: \u201cWhy OTIS?\u201d The general director answers, \u201cSafety, reliability, quality, and customer-centricity\u201d. These are key qualities why Ukrainians prefer OTIS.\n

\n By the way, OTIS Ukraine has own licensed technical center, where professionals from around the world train electricians for maintenance and installation of elevators improving knowledge and the skills of employees.\n

\n And a few statistics: according to internal estimates, OTIS conveys around 8 million people a day. And the company is ready to continue working in Ukraine for the next 25 years. All the more the income is quite impressive: the net income of the company increased by 5.8% in comparison with the last year.\n

\n Web Technology\n

\n It is a well-known fact that nowadays modern technologies have captured everybody\u2019s attention. UTC cannot miss this fact so it concentrates on its web technologies as well. In this case, we are talking about the main representative of UTC \u2013 its website.\n

\n While launching UTC\u2019s website, the Ukrainian development center DataArt was responsible for its elaboration. By the way, the web marketing association officially named the site an \u201coutstanding website.\u201d\n

\n Apart from DataArt, American agencies Ideas On Purpose and Atlantic Media Strategies were responsible for design and text content correspondingly. In this regard, it can be said that it was an international cooperation the result of which is an incredible and fascinating website.\n

\n Pratt & Whitney - Paton\n

\n As it was mentioned above, Pratt & Whitney is involved in aircraft engineering, particularly manufacturing of aircraft engines, gas turbines, and others. The 1992 year was incredible for both Ukraine and Pratt & Whitney as it is marked by launching Pratt & Whitney - Paton \u2013 joint research center. 51% of shares are devoted to United Technologies / Pratt & Whitney, and 49% of shares belong to Paton Electric Welding Institute of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.\n

\n The center is working on the problem of the application of processes for the distribution of electric beam\u2019s physical vapor, which is essential for the production of ceramic thermal coatings for turbine blades.\n

\n The company's staff is highly qualified workers, engineers, research and office workers, who constantly improve their skills by means of various courses and training. The training program has been implemented in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States.\n

\n Currently, Pratt & Whitney - Paton produces goods and provides services with the optimal ratio price and quality in the following business segments:\n

\n \u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 electron-beam application of metal and ceramic coatings to gas blades turbines for various purposes;\n

\n \u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 designing, manufacturing, and servicing of electron beam equipment for the application of coatings;\n

\n \u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 production of consumables for application electron-beam coatings;\n

\n \u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 complex recovery of gas turbine engine components using classical and original repair technologies;\n

\n \u00b7 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 engineering of processes, materials, and equipment.\n

\n Pratt & Whitney - Paton can be considered to be one of the reliable producers of industrial electron beam equipment for applying ceramic and metal coatings of world level. Therefore, such a cooperation will bring many fruits in the near future.\n
