My name is Todd Clausen, and I am the CEO, Owner, and National Sales Director at LWI Elevator Cab Interior Company located in Cedar Falls, Iowa. I’ve spent more than 25 years in this industry — on job sites, in workshops, and in conversations with the people who build, maintain, and rely on elevator interiors every day.

LWI Elevator Panel Co. in Kansas City is where my story began in the early to mid‑2000s, laying the foundation for the craftsmanship and customer‑first values that define us today. Those early years shaped how I see this work: it’s never been just about panels and materials. It’s about creating uplifting spaces and making the process easier for everyone involved.

Today, that close working bond with LWI in Kansas City has not only been maintained — it has grown. Each of us brings our own strengths, yet we continue to share the same core values, the same commitment to craftsmanship, and the same dedication to doing the job the right way.

Over the years, I watched the industry become more complicated than it needed to be. Pricing lacked clarity. Options were overwhelming. And customers were doing too much of the heavy lifting. That’s what pushed me to rebuild our approach from the ground up — to create a system that’s simpler, clearer, and rooted in the same Midwest craftsmanship that built this company.

Our experience — from hands‑on craftsmanship to real job‑site insight — helped us shape a better way forward. Today, our approach to cab design is intentionally streamlined, focused on elevating first impressions and improving the ride experience. We’re proud to celebrate more than two decades of customer‑first innovation — a journey that began in Kansas City crafting cab panels and grew in Cedar Falls into a full elevator‑interior manufacturer.

At LWI, our customers are partners. Your goals shape the design, and our promise is straightforward: exceptional service and interiors built to perform. With hundreds of thousands of panels produced, our reliability speaks for itself — and our team is ready to help you get started.

To simplify selection, design, and ordering, we organized our eight models into four clear price groups — CoreCab, , Premier, and Luxury — familiar designs renamed with inspiration from America’s heartland. Whether you choose one of our eight models, explore exclusive design options, or want something branded and completely unique, we’re ready to bring your vision to life. And yes, our ceilings, lighting, handrails, and bumpers are available as standalone options.

This transformation is personal to me. It reflects everything I’ve learned, everything our customers have asked for, and everything I believe this industry can be.
