Since the 1980s, the pre-engineered buildings method has dominated the low rise building market in the world. It provides customized solutions for various needs, features sophisticated manufacturing facilities and engineering systems leading to precision. PEB systems are manufactured in fully controlled conditions in factories and shipped to job sites in knock-down conditions for easy assembly and erection.
