最近，蒂森克虏伯电梯公司宣布收购美国内布拉斯加州奥马哈的O’KEEFE电梯公司，该公司有员工超过120人，由O’KEEFE家族领导经营了超过100年。O’KEEFE电梯公司是当地经营范围覆盖奥马哈和爱荷华的最大的经营全部业务的电梯公司，自1947年就成为了蒂森克虏伯电梯公司的独家经销商。O’KEEFE电梯公司近几年在奥马哈留下了令人瞩目的电梯工程，为当地的第一国家银行大楼，联合太平洋中心和克雷顿大学提供了电梯安装的服务，也为WoodmenLife大厦、奥马哈基威特广场和德梅因堡酒店提供了电梯更新服务。蒂森克虏伯电梯公司告诉记者，O’KEEFE电梯公司原有的管理架构，包括目前的Bret Abel首席执行官，都将保留不变。该消息在7月1日宣布，紧接着之前收购Nashville Machine Elevator公司的消息而来，可见蒂森克虏伯电梯公司期待“同时通过收购公司和有机地发展的方式”在美国地区获得更持久的发展。
