In 2007, Groffe Elevator Services Ltd. won and completed installation work on high end elevators in central Belfast, Northern Ireland for the prestigious House of Fraser. Also in 2007, Groffe Elevator Services Ltd. signed a distribution agreement with General Lifts Ltd in Gozo for the sales, installation and maintenance of MP lifts for the island of Gozo. Hundreds of new lifts have been installed. In 2012, Groffe Elevator Services Ltd obtained exclusive distributor rights for MP Lifts in the Maltese Islands. Also in the same year, MP Lifts authorised Groffe Elevator Services Ltd with sales rights over the Libyan Territory and it has now entered into an agreement with Ewan Engineering and Investment of Benghazi, Libya to promote and install lifts in this region.

 

In 2020, increased new lift sales has prompted the company to engage lift installers subcontracted directly from the lift supplier MP Lifts through their subsidiary IFMA MP. This agreement has enabled the company to install many more lifts annually. In 2022, the company shares were completely bought off by one of the founder members, Ing. Stefano Cremona, making him the sole owner of Groffe Elevator Services Ltd. This share transfer brought a change in mentality and the company is re-organising its operations to offer its clients an even better service. Staff compliment hasincreased drastically in both our maintenance and installation departments. 2022 saw the company being contracted for over a 100 new lift installations with 2023 sales book nearly complete.
