Company History

In 1947, Charles W. Lerch started a company performing maintenance and repairs, "C. W. Lerch Co", (widely accepted as the world's first independent elevator consulting company) in Chicago. He later added elevator consulting as a side business in response to client requests. In 1964 Charles W. Lerch was joined by Vane Q. Bates and both men committed to full time elevator consulting. The firm moved to its present headquarters in Denver, Colorado that same year. In 1974 the company was incorporated as "Lerch Bates & Associates" and by the 1980’s building boom, Lerch Bates had 15 offices throughout North America. In 1985 "Lerch Bates Limited" in London was formed and in 1990 it created the world's first "Performance Related" maintenance contact, which related equipment downtime and traffic performance to maintenance premiums. In 1994 Lerch Bates became an employee owned company. In 1998 Lerch Bates designed the world's fastest elevators for the then world's tallest building, the Taipei Financial Centre / Taipei 101.
