Our brand history
As the supermarket and logistics industries grew during the 1980s, so did the need for concrete industrial flooring. Permaban Ltd was created in 1983 to respond to this opportunity. It was the first company to manufacture solid concrete formwork in the UK, and continued to do so well into the 1990s. However, the clear product limitations led Permaban to develop steel formwork systems, culminating in the launch of the original AlphaJoint in 2002 –the first of its kind on the market. It took the industry by storm and remains hugely popular today. It was also the fuel for the company’s growth into international markets.
In 2008 the company was first awarded ISO 9001 quality management certification, which paved the way for further new product launches,including Permaban Signature, Eclipse and more recently Permaban Wave.
In 2014 Permaban Ltd was fully acquired by RCR Industrial Flooring, which opened further opportunities for international growth and collaboration. To reflect this change, in 2017 Permaban Ltd changed its name to RCR Flooring Products Ltd. The Permaban name lives on as the brand name for armoured joints and formwork manufactured by RCR.
