Later, Otis elevators were installed throughout Russia,” remarks Elena Lugovaya, Communications and PR Director at Otis MEECA (Middle East, Eastern Europe & Central Asia). “Our partnership with the Golden Trezzini Awards is just an expected extension of our long-term presence in Russia’s cultural capital. There is no doubt that architecture is art, and Otis is happy to give this art a lift through introduction of its advanced technologies in the Russian market and acting as a partner of this major event in the field of design and architecture.”
