Permasteelisa Group

Permasteelisa Group is a leading international façade specialist that has been shaping city skylines for generations.

With heritage going back over 150 years, we have an unsurpassed legacy of creating façades for iconic buildings worldwide – from The Shard and One World Trade Center to Taipei 101 and Sydney Opera House. Our designers, engineers, production teams and installation experts constantly push the boundaries of the possible, delivering bespoke, advanced technical solutions. Our end-to-end approach embodies innovation, quality, sustainability and safety – from concept through to completion.

Active in London since 1968, we have completed over 250 major projects in the city. We helped to create the landmark Lloyd’s Building in the 1980s, were instrumental in the development of Canary Wharf’s skyscrapers in the 1990s, and since then have delivered façades for some of the best-known towers in the Square Mile, including 20 Fenchurch Street, 8 Bishopsgate, One Leadenhall and 52 Lime Street.

We pride ourselves on putting together the best possible team from across our regional talent pool to meet the needs of each unique project in the capital. We are fortunate to count some of Europe’s finest project managers, façade designers, engineers and production experts as colleagues, while our London-based installation specialists ensure safe, efficient and high-quality delivery on site. We also have a growing FaçadeCare team in the city, which specialises in the maintenance and refurbishment of buildings.
