## History of Haushahn in Indonesia

Unlike Thyssen, Haushahn did not have a long history in Indonesia. It only installed elevators in the country from September 1995 until 1997. During that time, their elevators were distributed by its sole agent named **PT. Ihaka Saka Nusantara**. However, it did not installed many elevators in the country; it only installed about 90 units which were mostly for high-rise buildings. It's presence in Indonesia finally came to an end in 1997 when the sole agent stopped importing and installing Haushahn elevators due to the high cost of importing elevator parts from Germany caused by the Asian Financial Crisis.

Meanwhile, PT. Ihaka Saka Nusantara still exists as of today but it no longer maintains the remaining Haushahn elevators in Indonesia. Instead, the company now distributes and installs China-made HOSTING elevators since 2005 which are branded as "AE-Lift Hosting". As this company no longer maintains Haushahn elevators, all the remaining Haushahn elevators left in the country are now maintained by different elevator companies. Some of them, however, have already been modernized or even replaced.

While the distributor claims that they first distributed Haushahn elevators in 1995, the oldest Haushahn elevator in Indonesia that have been found so far was from 1994 which was installed at the Garden Palace Hotel in Surabaya.

## 1994 to 1997

This was the standard design of Haushahn elevator in the 1990's. These elevators used Schaefer (generic) fixtures from Germany similar to Thyssen in the 1980's, with MT 28 series push buttons and floor indicators with LED dot matrix display. A few Haushahn elevators also used different type of Schaefer button, like the ones at Twin Plaza Hotel in Jakarta (before they were replaced in late 2012) and Hyatt Regency Hotel in Yogyakarta.
