The strategy of success of the P.E.I. Group emerges from the intuition of the founding partners in recognising the importance of workplace safety, which has lead, beginning from the 1980s, to the significant development of the market for protective covers in machine tools. Innovation, quality and constantly keeping an eye on the sales prices are the driving values of the P.E.I. Group, a leading manufacturer in Italy and Europe of protective covers for machine tools. The commercial structure of the P.E.I. Group consists of a widespread network of commercial technicians and thus guarantees coverage across the whole of Italy and Germany as well as a major part of the rest of Europe. Through trade agreements, products `made by P.E.I.` are distributed worldwide. The past few years the Group has experienced a strong growth and turnover abroad has reached 50% of the total turnover.
