DETROIT, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Elevator Service, Inc. (ESI), the parent company of City Elevator of Michigan, announced today the acquisition of Elevator Technology, a Detroit-based elevator service provider. The move expands ESI's and City Elevator of Michigan's presence in the Detroit metro area while continuing a legacy of customer-focused service.
