Origin and headquarters of all our activities

Since the founding of the company in 1969, central functions, development, and production facilities have been located in Weissenhorn near Ulm in Southern Germany. In 2016, PERI acquired a new site in the Bavarian town of Günzburg around 20 km away. The site includes additional production halls and an office building.

Our international management stands for in-depth expertise. With the knowledge and understanding of local requirements, the right formwork and scaffolding systems are developed to meet all needs worldwide.

Close proximity to our customers and their projects

We actively practice and pursue being in close proximity to our customers. Today, we are represented by over 70 subsidiaries on all continents; many countries also have several branches and additional sales offices. In more than 120 efficiently run rental parks worldwide, we provide the required formwork and scaffolding materials to be able to supply your projects, covering peak demands. And we continue to expand.

We have gained valuable insight from our many years of international activity and understanding of regional requirements regarding construction methods and procedures, material and equipment used as well as labor costs. We have bundled this detailed know-how to develop appropriate products and services. Thus, global knowledge and a worldwide competitive edge are created from local knowledge and understanding. And all our customers around the world benefit from this, forming the basis of our performance leadership.


Our recipe for success for almost 50 years: innovation, internationalization and committed employees

Continuous and steady growth based on our own strength is our maxim for the further development of our company. This is why we are constantly working on expanding our range of services as well as production capacities. Through the expansion of existing sites and the establishment of additional country subsidiaries and locations, we are strengthening our local presence worldwide. Our goal is to be even closer to our customers around the globe in the future and to be able to serve them even better and faster.

Our employees around the world, their performance and competence are our company's true capital. Their high motivation and special PERI team spirit, strong customer-oriented approach, and their daily focus on fulfilling customer requirements are the elements that have made us so successful since PERI was founded.

Our success factors are tremendous innovative strength and internationalization at an early stage. Behind this are our dedicated employees who are committed to providing the best individual solution for the benefit of our customers.


Groundbreaking products and systems

The basic requirements of our developments are to ensure faster and safer working operations. PERI products are therefore designed to provide users and construction companies with advantages such as handling and workload reductions, enhanced safety, and cost and personnel savings.

We believe it is of great importance to minimize the number of individual components for system assemblies because this has a positive effect on day-to-day operations resulting in faster and easier use, logistics requirements are reduced, and search times on the construction site are a thing of the past – to name a few. Innovative construction, intelligently configured mechanical systems, high quality, and durability are requirements for PERI engineers.

Wherever possible, we develop our systems for the widest possible range of applications. As a result, this allows maximum material utilization and avoids unused stocks of materials. Where necessary, we support system components for special applications so that expensive, project-specific constructions can be managed. Thus, PERI solutions increase economic efficiency, very often for the entire construction processes.

Proof that our approach works - PERI has always set standards in the market with its innovations, and its systems continue to be used worldwide.

We develop new products for applications with which we see the potential for creating efficiency, developing efficient system equipment with practical details to maintain a strong position in the market over many years.


High professional competence and extensive experience of providing customized solutions

The thought process of our engineers is optimizing construction progress. In addition to the technical requirements, they always take into account safety considerations and economic efficiency.

PERI engineers plan and design formwork and scaffolding solutions while taking into account the technical requirements and boundary conditions during the application as well as respective individual customer requirements. This results in optimized solutions for each project  – very often during the tendering phase. Furthermore, PERI also provides the required technical documentation – from implementation drawings through to verifiable static calculations. The goal of PERI engineers is always ensuring process optimization to reduce both execution times and costs.

We are also intensively involved with the technology of Building Information Modeling (BIM). The systems are used for building information management during the planning and implementation phases which facilitate cross-company communication. The goal of all PERI developments is the complete integration of formwork and scaffolding solutions in future BIM simulations. In the future, our engineers want to fully exploit the potential of 5-dimensional planning in the execution of construction work together with our customers.

The high level of expertise found in the international PERI application technology has been achieved through intense cooperation, close networking, and continuous training of our engineers worldwide. We also ensure that the know-how in our company, along with all the acquired international experience, benefits each of our customers for every project regardless of its size.


Reliable support during all phases of the project

The PERI range of services in the area of project support extends from the elaboration of feasibility studies for particularly challenging projects and material rentals for covering peak demands through to cleaning and repair services for the customer's own materials. Our close-knit network of logistics sites ensures fast availability of materials for every project. We also make our system equipment available in our rental parks and thereby provide our customers with a cost-effective option for managing peak demands or special project tasks.

If required, our supervisors can ensure that the PERI solutions are efficiently used on the construction site. Furthermore, we support the controlling processes on the customer side with high transparency and performance-related invoicing. For large-scale projects, PERI project managers help to adjust material quantities to suit actual requirements thereby achieving an ideal economically viable on-site material requirements/costs ratio.

The most important contact person for our customers is always the respective personal sales engineer. He bundles all requirements and works together with those responsible for the project implementation to draw up a corresponding project service package complete with a customized range of site-related services.

Our supervisors ensure that the PERI solutions are efficiently used on the construction site.

Our services are based on a practical approach designed to match the project phases of our customers. They bring real benefits to both large and small construction sites.

Our service portfolio covers all project phases

PERI services are oriented towards the project phases on the customer side. In each step, we offer all services required for the formwork and scaffolding activities which provide our customers with economic benefits and thus real competitive advantages. This applies to both large and small construction projects – solution-oriented, prompt and direct – and always in collaboration with the PERI sales engineer.
