Internationally Acclaimed Formwork and Scaffolding Company PERI Invests in Southern Africa
PERI Group, one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of formwork and scaffolding systems worldwide, has successfully negotiated the
takeover of Wiehahn Formwork and Scaffolding. PERI is a global, family owned and operated business based in Germany and one of the leading
brands in formwork worldwide. The extensive PERI services are provided by 49 subsidiary companies in more than 60 countries.
PERI aims to provide the highest quality products and the best solutions to meet
clients’ needs while continually striving to be innovative. With a wide range of
formwork and scaffolding systems as well as extensive supplementary services,
PERI helps its customers to carry out their tasks effectively and safely, thereby
increasing the cost-effectiveness.
Wiehahn has been one of the market leaders in the South African formwork and
scaffolding industry for over 40 years and the sole PERI distributor for more than
10 years. Consequently, PERI is already an established brand in the South
African market.
PERI acknowledges the accomplishments of Wiehahn Formwork and Scaffolding
and look forward to building on this success. They are looking at further
investment in the market, which will potentially create new jobs. PERI is
committed to the continuation of Wiehahn’s conventional and established product
range and specialised formwork manufacturing capabilities, in order to meet the
specific market demands and the local construction methods. The know-how of
PERI specialists and their experience gained from projects worldwide will give
additional impetus for further development of solutions, systems and products for
the local market. PERI Group embraces the progress that Wiehahn has made in
terms of BBBEE and is committed to further developments in this regard.
With the acquisition of Wiehahn Formwork and Scaffolding, PERI is showing a
great deal of confidence in South Africa and Africa, given the depressed nature of
global markets. They do not only view this acquisition as an opportunity to invest
in South Africa, but also to expand its presence and business activities in
additional African regions.
