In the course of these changes, Alexander Schwoerer, who was a member of the Group Management as representative of the Shareholder Family for more than 10 years, will join the Advisory Board of the PERI Group.

With this step we will continue to maintain our structure as an independent family business, which has proven to be a great strength", says Christian Schwoerer, Chairman of the Advisory Board of the PERI Group.
