Trivia
- Schindler's North American division currently owns EPCO. In fact, three buttons used on Schindler elevators have actually been derived from EPCO, which include the rectangular MT button (derived from formally Schindler Haughton M-Series and nowadays Schindler M-Line), the circular-oval RT button (derived from EPCO WGH Signature Series), and the touch-sensitive surface-mount button (derived from EPCO Oval Inch-Line).
