What Perar does

Perar (legal name PERAR s.p.a) is a privately held Italian manufacturer of industrial and engineered valves and actuators, founded in 1962 and headquartered in Rescaldina, Milan. The company designs and produces a portfolio of API6D, API6A, API6D SS, and API17D certified valves — including floating, trunnion side entry, subsea, cryogenic, and three-way ball valves — alongside industrial actuators. Its core technology relies on CAD design and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for precision engineering, supported by in-house assembly, welding, and testing in compliance with international specifications.

The company serves the Oil & Gas (offshore, onshore, FPSO, subsea, LNG terminal, pipeline transportation), refinery and petrochemical, chemical, water desalination, power and renewables, and emerging energy (hydrogen, carbon capture) sectors. Perar generates revenue through direct B2B sales of customized, project-specific valve solutions to enterprise customers, with quote-based pricing and global shipping capability. Go-to-market is executed through direct enterprise field sales relationships with oil & gas operators and process industry clients, supported by industry event participation (including the Subsea Tieback Forum 2026) and corporate communications. Recent activity in 2026 has focused on brand modernization through a website redesign and a new corporate video, alongside product line extensions into hydrogen and carbon capture applications.
