History

Founded on three generations in the elevator industry

Growing up in the elevator industry was part of the Robinson Brothers everyday life. In early childhood they would tag along with their father Bernie Robinson on emergency callbacks. Bernie started in the elevator business after an honorable discharge from the U.S. Navy in 1958. Bernie worked in new construction, modernization, repair and adjusting. Bernie formed the foundation for his son’s success in the elevator industry.

Michael Robinson entered the elevator industry after graduating high school in 1983. Michael worked in new construction, modernization, repair and adjusting. Michael was instrumental in the life saving efforts at the former World Trade Center during the 1993 bombing and was awarded a Medal of Valor and Award for Exceptional Service by the Port Authority and Governors of New York and New Jersey, a gold watch and an award for lifesaving efforts above and beyond the call of duty by Otis Elevator.
