Building Knowledge Since 1969

Artur Schwörer founded PERI in Weißenhorn with a conviction that formwork engineering should be as rigorous as structural engineering — that the tools used to shape concrete are as important as the concrete itself. That conviction has shaped every system PERI has developed in the decades since.

Today, PERI operates 65 subsidiaries and 160 rental depots worldwide. We are a privately held company, which allows us to make long-term investments in product engineering and customer service without quarter-to-quarter pressure to reduce technical support.

1969
PERI Founded in Weißenhorn
Artur Schwörer establishes PERI with a focus on engineered formwork systems as an alternative to site-fabricated timber falsework.
1973
PERI RUND Circular Formwork Launched
First major product innovation: a flexible circular formwork system allowing continuously variable radii — a first in the industry at the time.
1981
International Expansion Begins
First foreign subsidiaries established in Austria and France, beginning PERI's systematic global growth programme.
1994
PERI CAD Formwork Planning Software Released
PERI introduces dedicated 3D CAD formwork planning — a transformational shift from 2D drawing-based estimating to full digital project preparation.
2004
PERI UP Modular Scaffolding System
Launch of the PERI UP ring scaffolding system, extending PERI's expertise from concrete forming into comprehensive access scaffolding.
2019
PERI 3D Construction Division
PERI enters the concrete 3D printing market with industrial-scale BOD2 printer systems and COBOD partnership, offering structure printing as a contracted service.
Today
9,800 Employees — 95 Countries
PERI continues to expand engineering services, digital planning capabilities, and sustainable system development — maintaining the engineering-first philosophy of 1969.
