History
PERI was founded in 1969 in Weißenhorn, Germany, by Artur Schwörer. The first product was the T 70 V wooden lattice girder which had a patented node connection. This was replaced by the GT 24 girder in 1984. The ACS (Automatic Climbing System) was PERI's development of a self-climbing technology system. This technology enables the casting of tall buildings with minimal crane use. At the beginning of the 80s, PERI was at the forefront of using aluminum in the construction business. The Co-CEO's, Alex Schwörer, graduated from the Tuck School of Business in 2002 and Christian Schwörer formerly worked at Goldman Sachs.
