Due to the use of the ACS and SKYDECK systems, our site is a prime example of efficiency and safety.

From the beginning, our cooperation with PERI has been outstanding. And with TRIO, PERI UP, SKYDECK and ACS we were able utilise high-performing systems. Here PERI has once again proven its leading position.
