Perimeter Protection Group

What Perimeter Protection Group does

PeriGuard Protection (formerly Perimeter Protection Group, founded 1949 in Germany) is a Salzkotten-based manufacturer of certified physical perimeter security and access-control systems. Its product portfolio centers on crash-rated bollards (M50), quick-folding and tracked sliding gates (EntraQuick II, Tracked Gate M50), drive-through barriers (Wedge II), high-security turnstiles (TurnSec 4.0), and urban protection systems (CityProtector M40); all systems are designed and certified against international crash-test standards, with integrated hardware engineered for vehicle and pedestrian access control in mission-critical environments.

The company operates a vertical-focused go-to-market model, selling into stadiums and event venues, seaports, rail transport, military and police facilities, power plants and energy infrastructure, data centers (KRITIS-aligned), airports, government institutions, banks, prisons, border/operations protection, logistics, industrial production sites, public squares, and private estates. It reaches enterprise and government buyers through direct field sales complemented by a global partner network that provides local installation, service, and rapid response.

Revenue is generated through two streams: sale of physical security hardware (bollards, gates, barriers, turnstiles) and recurring maintenance, spare-parts, and manufacturer-independent service contracts intended to maximize uptime and protect long-term investments. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through direct sales consultation. The firm employs 51-100 people, is privately held as a German GmbH (PeriGuard GmbH), and completed a corporate rebrand from PPG to PeriGuard Protection in 2025.
