Permasteelisa Group celebrates 50th Anniversary

Permasteelisa Group has reached an extraordinary milestone through a history of changing the face of some of the world’s most modern and advanced cities.

To celebrate the company has hosted events in London and New York, gathering industry leading figures to help celebrate its achievements to date.

Over the last 50 years has been built on the commitment and capability to provide cutting-edge solutions for the world’s most iconic architectural and engineering projects.

The origin of the success dates back to 1973, to the founding of I.S.A., an aluminium window company based a few kilometres from Vittorio Veneto (Treviso, Italy), the city that hosts the Group’s headquarters. In a short time, the core of the activities becomes the curtain wall, a continuous surface made of bespoke pre-assembled modules which provide both aesthetics and performances to the contemporary buildings.

With a expansion strategy began with the acquisition of Permasteel, the Australian company that clad the Sydney Opera House – from which the definitive name of Permasteelisa sprang. Other significant milestones saw the Group acquire Scheldebouw and Josef Gartner.

Among the Group’s achievements, are some of the most prestigious contemporary architectural works in the world, such as the International Commerce Centre (the tallest building in Hong Kong), Eight Spruce Street in lower Manhattan, The Shard and 20 Fenchurch Street in London, the revolutionary Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the extraordinary Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the MoMA in New York.

Permasteelisa Group is located in four continents across 23 locations.
