Bulgaria, located at the strategic crossroads of Southeastern Europe, is undergoing a profound structural and architectural transformation. As a key member of the European Union, the nation has experienced steady economic integration, leading to rapid urbanization in major metropolitan hubs such as Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, and Burgas. This urban expansion has driven a significant increase in high-rise residential complexes, modern office towers, shopping malls, and large-scale industrial zones. Consequently, the demand for safe, reliable, and technologically advanced vertical transit systems has reached unprecedented heights.
At the heart of every modern elevator system lies the elevator traveling cable. Serving as the primary lifeline between the elevator cabin and the central controller, this specialized cabling system transmits continuous electrical power, critical control signals, and real-time data streams. Because elevators operate under continuous motion, these cables must endure millions of bending cycles, high mechanical tension, and severe temperature fluctuations without compromising structural integrity. For Bulgarian developers, property managers, and municipal authorities, securing high-performance traveling cables from trusted global manufacturers is essential to ensuring passenger safety and operational efficiency.
All elevator installations and modernization projects within Bulgaria must strictly comply with the European Union's harmonized standards, specifically EN 81-20 and EN 81-50. These regulations mandate stringent fire safety characteristics, structural durability, and reliable communication links. Our elevator traveling cables are engineered to meet and exceed these European directives, featuring Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) sheathing to minimize toxic emissions in the event of fire, alongside integrated steel support members to handle high-rise suspension demands.
Sofia, the capital city, has witnessed a surge in high-rise building developments along major arteries like Tsarigradsko Shose. Towers reaching heights over 100 meters require high-speed elevators that run at velocities exceeding 4 m/s. For these high-speed systems, standard cabling is insufficient. Specialized high-speed elevator traveling cables with fiber-optic cores are required to prevent signal attenuation and to support high-definition security cameras, destination dispatch systems, and emergency multimedia feeds.
A unique challenge in Bulgaria is the modernization of its extensive aging housing stock. Thousands of panel residential blocks built in the late 20th century require comprehensive elevator retrofitting to align with modern EU safety codes. Upgrading these systems involves replacing worn-out, rigid cables with flexible, modern traveling cables, along with installing advanced safety sensors such as light curtains and five-party wireless intercoms.
The Trakia Economic Zone near Plovdiv has become one of the most significant industrial hubs in Southeastern Europe. The factories, logistics warehouses, and cleanrooms established here require heavy-duty freight and service elevators. The traveling cables in these settings must resist chemical exposure, oil splashes, and mechanical friction, demanding robust polyurethane (PUR) or specialized PVC outer jackets.
Foshan Dalong Chain Equipments Sales Co., Ltd. was established in January 2007 (formerly known as Nanhai Yanbu Seelee Elevator Parts Factory, founded in 1990). Throughout our operational history, we have steadfastly upheld the principles encapsulated in our service motto, "Customer First, Quality First," earning widespread acclaim across our diverse client base.
This commendable reputation has facilitated partnerships with numerous prestigious clients spanning Europe, America, Southeast Asia, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and Taiwan. Among these esteemed clients are industry leaders such as Otis, Schindler, Hitachi, Kone, Mitsubishi, Fuji, and MTR Singapore, all of whom have recognized our commitment to excellence and reliability. We are proud to highlight that we serve as KONE's global parts strategic cooperative supplier.
Our company operates extensive production facilities totaling over 4,500 square meters located in Suzhou, complemented by additional factories in Shanghai and Nantong. These sites are outfitted with advanced manufacturing equipment and staffed by teams of seasoned professionals committed to efficient production and the delivery of high-quality products. We maintain a rigorous quality control system to ensure each product adheres to international standards, thereby meeting and exceeding customer expectations. With a wealth of import and export experience, our products are currently exported to over 100 countries, including key markets in Eastern Europe and Bulgaria.
At our Foshan office, the warehouse is well-stocked with a substantial inventory of commonly utilized spare parts, including premium elevator traveling cables, guide rail components, and safety curtain sensors to guarantee ample availability for immediate dispatch. Additionally, our delivery sector is supported by an effective logistics system, ensuring the swift and punctual distribution of spare parts to our clientele globally. Simultaneously, we boast a seasoned sales team and a cadre of expert elevator engineers, both fully equipped to furnish our customers with rapid and precise solutions alongside comprehensive after-sales services.
For over a decade, Foshan Dalong Chain Equipments Sales Co., Ltd. has upheld a development policy characterized by pragmatism, self-reliance, and innovation. Specializing in the sales of major brand elevator components, we offer an integrated approach that encompasses sales, manufacturing (including custom manufacturing of parts for elevators and escalators that are non-standard, discontinued, or of older models), and engineering technical consulting. We provide our clients in Bulgaria and across Europe with comprehensive pre-sales technical consultations, a reliable supply of high-quality parts, and exemplary after-sales service.
As smart cities emerge across Europe, the role of elevator traveling cables is transitioning from basic power transmission to acting as high-speed communication trunks. In Bulgaria, the integration of Building Management Systems (BMS) with vertical transportation networks is becoming standard practice. Modern traveling cables now incorporate Shielded Twisted Pairs (STP) and fiber optic lines (FO) to handle high-bandwidth protocols, ensuring that real-time diagnostics, predictive maintenance data, and passenger infotainment systems operate without lag.
Furthermore, environmental sustainability is a major driver of change. Under the European Green Deal, building materials must have a minimal environmental footprint. This has accelerated the adoption of eco-friendly traveling cables that eliminate heavy metals and halogenated compounds. These materials are not only safer during a fire but are also easier to recycle at the end of the elevator's operational lifecycle. Our production lines are continuously updated to incorporate these green technologies, positioning us as a leading supplier for eco-conscious developments in Bulgaria.
