Globally, approximately 65% to 75% of elevator safety incidents occur in the door zone, making the quality of door systems and edge safety sensors critical to passenger safety and trust.

Sakura Elevator has earned multiple international certifications—including CE (EU), MLIT (Japan), UL (USA), and BS (Singapore)—and has long been dedicated to advancing elevator safety. Since 2000, it has partnered with CEDES, a renowned Swiss supplier of elevator door safety sensors, importing original CEDES products to provide high-standard safety solutions in a market with widely varying quality.

Headquartered in Landquart, Switzerland, at the foot of the Alps, CEDES is a global leader in smart safety sensor solutions. With state-of-the-art R&D and manufacturing facilities, the company specializes in developing and producing elevator light curtains for door safety.

On February 18, 2025, the President of CEDES visited Taiwan to sign a strategic cooperation agreement and a memorandum for next-generation smart door edge solutions with Mr. Yang Chih-Chung, General Manager of Sakura Elevator. As a key strategic partner of CEDES in Asia, Sakura Elevator will work closely with CEDES to promote the integration of smart technologies and AI in elevator safety—delivering a safer and more reliable riding experience for passengers.
