PERI has planned further growth in its scaffolding division and to this end has created the required production capacities. As any expansion possibilities at the main plant in Weissenhorn are limited, a new manufacturing facility in the neighbouring town of Günzburg is beeing build since January 2016. The primary plant for the PERI UP scaffolding technology was officially opened on 22 September 2017.

In the years following the founding of the company in 1969, PERI focused on the development of girders and formwork systems with props, simple shoring systems as well as climbing systems for the construction industry being quickly added to the product range. The first scaffolding system in the PERI portfolio was the PERI UP T 72 Frame Scaffold in 1998 followed by other products for various applications in scaffolding technology.

The production facility in Günzburg has been developed and will be expanded as the primary manufacturing plant for the PERI UP scaffolding technology; the official opening took place on 22 September 2017. “In Günzburg, a scaffolding plant complete with cutting edge technology, efficient processes and great production depth has been realized. In the worldwide PERI production network, this facility will assume the technological leadership of the scaffolding division. It is a very exciting challenge for me to support this”, said Wolfgang Göggelmann, General Manager of the new plant in Günzburg.

A cutting edge factory layout, efficient plant engineering and optimal processes play a decisive role for the new manufacturing facility. The production plant in Günzburg is one of the most efficient scaffolding factories in the world whereby, among other things, state of the art welding processes and fully automated welding robots ensure a consistently high quality of the welds. The PERI quality assurance system in Günzburg also operates at the highest level with the facility being equipped with highly accurate measuring technology thus guaranteeing consistently high production results.

PERI UP scaffolding: Innovative technology with maximum safety
With the development of the PERI UP T 72 Scaffold System in 1998, PERI succeeded in acquiring further new customers. In addition to construction companies, which use scaffolding among other things as shoring, the Weissenhorn based company has also provided solutions for the scaffolding sector since then. With additional products and system components, this division has increasingly developed into PERI’s second business mainstay alongside the formwork technology.

PERI scaffolding technology clearly stands out from competing systems in the market. Especially in terms of safety, PERI products make a very convincing case and are finding more and more recognition in the worldwide market under the name PERI UP.

With the PERI UP Flex Modular Scaffolding, PERI has been gaining more and more users in the plant engineering sector for a number of years now which is another target group. In April 2016, PERI showcased the new PERI UP Easy Façade Scaffolding at the world’s leading trade bauma in Munich – the scaffold is primarily used in the craft’s sector. The first response to the new development has been more than positive as the technology developed in house in Weissenhorn has set a new standard in the market especially regarding the safety for erectors and users. With the current product portfolio, PERI can easily cover all requirements of professional scaffolding operations.
