Orenstein & Koppel Rolltreppen GmbH (normally abbreviated to O&K or later O&K Kone) was an escalators and moving walks manufacturing division of Orenstein & Koppel GmbH, a German engineering company which specialized railway vehicles and construction equipment.
History
Orenstein & Koppel was founded on April 1, 1876 in Berlin by Benno Orenstein and Arthur Koppel. The escalator division was established in the 1960s and started making escalators in West Berlin. In 1987, Kone bought the company, and became O&K KONE until 1995 when the remaining shares of the company were completely bought by Kone.
Meanwhile, O&K's other divisions were sold to various companies; the railway division was transferred to Bombardier and their construction equipment division was sold to New Holland Construction in 1999.
