History
PERI was founded in 1969 in Weißenhorn, Germany, by Artur Schwörer. The company's name is taken from the Greek preposition "". The first product was the T 70 V wooden lattice girder belt which had a patented node connection. This was replaced by the GT 24 girder in 1985. The ACS was PERI's development of a self-climbing technology system. This technology enables the casting of tall buildings with minimal crane use.
