Marathon, Florida (June 18, 2021) – TK Elevator has acquired Accurate Elevator, a leading provider of elevator services in the Florida Keys for many years. Accurate Elevator offers new installation, modernization, preventive maintenance and repair services for commercial and residential buildings in The Florida Keys.

“Accurate Elevator has been one of the most reliable elevator companies in the Florida Keys and we are excited to add them to our expanding TKE family,” says Kevin Lavallee, President and CEO of TK Elevator North America and Australia.

“When I founded Accurate Elevator Inspection Services, my goal was to create a company that provided the best service at the best prices without sacrificing quality,” adds John Babbe. “Now, as a part of one of the most respected elevator companies in the world, we will have the opportunity to provide our customers with the highest level of support to keep their equipment running safely for years.”
