P.E.R. - past, present and future

In 1978 Gunnar Krokeide developed the Permalux® brand and successfully established it on the international market. This was the first photoluminescent product that could be visually integrated into its surroundings.

In 1993 the company P.E.R. was founded with the objective of marketing other brands under the same general brand name. Development, production and marketing - seamlessly coordinated with one another.

Development, production and distribution - Always well coordinated

A team of over 40 employees ensures that P.E.R. escape route guidance systems are developed, manufactured and installed to the highest standards.

At P.E.R. departments work together seamlessly using state of the art technology. We therefore embody optimal safety systems. Always searching for the best possible solution.

Always looking for optimal solutions

To date, the company has developed and established a variety of electrical and photoluminescent products on the market under their own brand names. Names such as Permalux®, A-line, Guideline®, StairSafe and Led sign are synonymous with quality in the aircraft and shipbuilding sectors as well as for applications on land.

P.E.R. constantly aims to improve safety standards and solutions. Therefore P.E.R. will continue to expand its international presence with innovative products.
