A Finnish invention from the 1990s played a key role in Kone's global success, but the inventors felt the compensation they received was insufficient, considering the invention's vital importance to the company's growth.
Suomalaiskeksijöiden oivallus 1990-luvulla nosti Koneen maailman huipulle, mutta palkkio oli ”täysin riittämätön” – ”Ilman sitä tuskin olisi olemassa lainkaan” (Finnish inventors' insight in the 1990s raised Kone to the top of the world, but the reward was "completely inadequate" - "Without it, it would hardly exist at all")
