Germany’s Peri is thrilled that its innovative new Duo formwork recently emerged a winner in the inaugural Mat D’or awards from Sageret in France.

All smiles … Peri product manager Helmut Baechle with Peri France’s marketing coordinator Stéphanie Derouet and Technical Office manager Thierry Chancibot.

Sageret is a key source for users, buyers, companies and organisations in the building industry for information on construction machinery, equipment and materials.

Its services, which include a comprehensive industry and product directory, are used by 700,000 readers and internet users regularly.

In 2016, for the first time, Sageret asked its readers to evaluate new products and their benefits in order to bestow them with a ‘Mat D’or’ award.

The awards were presented in four categories – construction machinery, construction equipment and accessories, tools as well as rental machines.

Peri’s Duo formwork system – which was launched at the 2016 bauma exhibition in Germany – was voted a winner because of its low weight, easy handling and wide range of applications.
