What peri uk does

PERI UK is the UK operating subsidiary of PERI Group, a German privately-held manufacturer of formwork, scaffolding, and engineering solutions for the construction industry. From Rugby, Brentwood, and Glasgow, the company supplies wall formwork (TRIO, MAXIMO, DUO, DOMINO, RUNDFLEX), slab formwork (SKYDECK, MULTIFLEX), column formwork (RAPID, VARIO GT 24, QUATTRO), a climbing systems portfolio (RCS, ACS, SCS, CB), the PERI UP modular scaffolding toolkit, the VARIOKIT infrastructure engineering kit, and a broad plywood and timber product range including fire door blanks. The portfolio is rounded out by construction accessories (CEMflex waterproofing, BECOSTOP, tie technology, props, safety equipment) and digital products (Vemaventuri concrete sensors for temperature, pressure, compaction, and water-cement ratio monitoring).

Revenue is generated through a combination of equipment sales and rentals, professional services (fabrication, NOCN-accredited training, refurbishment, on-site support), and digital engineering services (3D CAD modelling, technical design, takeoffs). All pricing is quote-based, with no published tiers. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales backed by a Brentwood showroom and visitor programme, a website enquiry channel, and a phone-based inside sales function. The core customer base is UK construction contractors, with secondary reach into scaffolding companies and infrastructure projects; the most prominent flag-bearing project is Hinkley Point C nuclear power station, where PERI has been involved since 2017. Partnerships with Structural Waterproofing Services (SWS), BPA, The Skills Centre, Alimak, XL Industries, and the parent-owned Vemaventuri subsidiary extend the commercial footprint.
