About MEI – Archi-Tread
MEI – Archi-Tread, formerly known as Elevator Sill Solutions by Archi-Tread®, is a trusted supplier and manufacturer of elevator sills with offices in Mankato, MN, and Rosenberg, TX. We stock, fabricate, sell, and install both custom and stock elevator sills for customers nationwide.
With over 30 years of experience in manufacturing elevator entrances and cabs, our founder consistently received requests from architects, designers, elevator contractors, and property owners for custom sills in a wide variety of finishes. After the sale of a previous elevator manufacturing company, Elevator Sill Solutions by Archi-Tread® was founded—introducing a patented method for producing sills in virtually any size, finish, and design. Our product line has since expanded to include stock sills compatible with many manufacturers, serving a niche market with products and services you won’t find anywhere else.
On April 30, 2025, Elevator Sill Solutions by Archi-Tread® was acquired by Minnesota Elevator Inc. (MEI) and now operates as MEI – Archi-Tread. This partnership brings expanded resources and reach while continuing our legacy of craftsmanship, customization, and customer service.
MEI – Archi-Tread combines decades of elevator manufacturing experience with new technologies and design innovation. We are committed to delivering high-quality work at competitive prices.
