The headquarters is located on the eight floor of Two IFC in Seoul, South Korea. It has a factory in Dalian, China (operated by Dalian Sigma Elevator Company) which was opened in 1997 to meed demands on the Chinese elevator market. Until the early 2010s, production was mainly done in their Changwon factory in South Korea, which had been operating when GoldStar was still in business. However, the factory has been closed down and production has since been moved to the Dalian factory.

In the United States, Sigma elevators were distributed by CemcoLift, an elevator company based in Hatfield, PA that was part of Otis. However, CemcoLift shuts down in 2012[3] and distribution of Sigma elevators has since been discontinued. CemcoLift had only installed very few Sigma elevators in the U.S.A.
