What Perigon International does

Perigon International (also operating as Perigon Engineering) is a privately held, employee-owned consulting engineering firm founded in 1982 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. The firm provides multi-discipline industrial engineering and design services for new plant construction and upgrades of existing facilities across five regulated verticals: process chemicals, manufacturing, OTC pharmaceuticals, electric power and gas, and food and beverage. Its client base is exclusively enterprise industrial companies, and project work spans coast-to-coast US coverage plus projects on five continents internationally.

The firm's service catalog is organized into five integrated lines: Process Piping and Mechanical (process engineering, piping flexibility analysis, 3D plant design, mechanical engineering, HVAC); Civil Structural (structural, civil, compliance studies and permitting); Electrical (electrical engineering, arc flash/PPE analysis, hazardous area classification); Instrumentation and Controls (instrumentation engineering, PLC/DCS/HMI development and networking); and Project Management (estimating, scheduling, conceptual and front-end engineering). Technology deployment relies on established industrial engineering software — CHEMCAD for process simulation, CAESAR II/CAEPipe/AutoPIPE for piping stress analysis, AutoCAD Plant3D and Navisworks for 3D modeling with laser scanning, SKM PowerTools for arc flash analysis, and Rockwell/Siemens/GE/Emerson platforms for controls. The firm was an early adopter of 3D plant design in the Southeast US, dating to the late 1990s. All deliverables are anchored by licensed professional engineers across chemical, electrical, instrumentation/controls, mechanical/piping/HVAC, and structural/civil disciplines.

Perigon's revenue model is pure professional services: custom project-based pricing quoted on a per-engagement basis depending on scope and complexity, with multi-year contract cadences tied to industrial project lifecycles from front-end loading through commissioning. The firm has remained independent and employee-owned for over four decades with no venture capital, private equity, parent company, or institutional investor involvement. Business development is primarily referral-driven based on reputation within the industrial client base. Revenue, headcount, and pricing are not publicly disclosed.
