HISTORY

Miguel Peragón, 16-year-old, cabinetmaker’s apprentice, begins his business career and runs a small custom furniture company.

Thanks to a customer’s request to build a wooden body on a Pegaso Comet truck, the company begins its experience in industrial vehicle reconditioning.

Miguel begins to focus his business exclusively on bodywork for the transportation of goods, leaving the furniture business aside.

He begins to manufacture bodywork both at a regional level and in neighbouring provinces.

Miguel works with a German customer to import and distribute his product in Spain. He ends up manufacturing and exporting parts to German.

Given the increased turnover and growth, “Carrocerías y Remolques Peragón” is founded.

Its name taken from the words “Lider” and “Kit”, the company Liderkit was born. It manufactures aluminium bodies in kits with a protected design, with 80 workers at this point.

New designs are incorporated for manufacturing body kits, with insulating Sandwich panels and wood cores, thus creating a new company in the group: “Prefabricados Peragón”.

Liderkit relocates production plan to the Guadiel Industrial Park in Guarroman, a strategic point the gateway to Andalusia next to the A-4. Allows efficient localisation and reduces logistical costs.

Liderkit begins to export body kits to Europe: Portugal, Germany, Belgium, France and Italy are first countries.

Liderkit creates a company within the group called “Termocube”, specialized in production of isothermal and refrigerated bodies.

It crosses borders to export to Africa and establishes another production centre located in Morocco.

It continues its ambitious expansion plan and reaches exports to the American continent.

Liderkit continues to expand. In 2013, its products land in Asia.
