What Pergam does
Pergam (АО «ПЕРГАМ-ИНЖИНИРИНГ») is a Russian industrial diagnostic equipment company headquartered in Moscow, founded in 1996, that operates a hybrid manufacturer–distributor model. It develops and sells proprietary thermal imaging systems (РТР-900М / РТР-1200М with detection range up to 25–30 km), laser methane detectors (СЕЛЬМА / SELMA МПБ12 detecting 0.03 ppm at 50–60 km/h, ДЛС-ЛА G2 for UAVs, ALMA G5 for small aviation), TITAN-series thermal imagers, mobile electrical laboratories (МЭК, ЭТЛ series), integrated security complexes (Аргус radar + thermal, Визио/Визио-М mobile observation), and proprietary analytical software (Pergam iResearch 2.0, EyeCSite). It simultaneously distributes equipment from approximately 96 international brands including FLIR, Olympus NDT, Baker Hughes/GE, Radiodetection, Megger, BAUR, Gilardoni, Ofil, Silverwing, Guide Sensmart, MALA/Hexagon, Eddyfi, Opgal, SCANTECH, Elspec, Distran and DJI, across thermal imaging, non-destructive testing, electrical testing, gas leak detection, cable/pipe locating and mobile laboratory categories.
The company serves industrial enterprises in oil & gas, electric power, metallurgy, machine building, chemical, construction & municipal utilities, security & defense, telecommunications, and research across Russia and Belarus, reaching buyers via ten regional offices (Moscow HQ, Saint Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Khabarovsk, Krasnoyarsk, Minsk), an e-commerce storefront at pergam.ru, and trade show participation (Securika Moscow, NDT Russia, МФЭС). It monetizes through one-time hardware sales (price points ranging from roughly RUB 41,900 for entry-level thermal imagers to RUB 6,718,750 for relay-protection test kits), bundled software licenses, project-based field services (methane leak detection, pipeline tracing, water leak detection, energy audits), an in-house certified service center for calibration and maintenance, and instructor-led training programs. Revenue, ownership structure and headcount within the disclosed 101–250 band are not publicly disclosed.
The entity is a private Russian joint-stock company (АО) with no disclosed external investors, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, and no IPO filings.

Pergam competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- MSA Safety: Major manufacturer of fixed gas detection, portable gas monitors, flame detection and industrial safety products. Comparable to Pergam in gas detection, perimeter/process safety, and industrial safety distribution.
- Megger: Established global manufacturer of electrical test equipment (cable fault location, transformer diagnostics, insulation testing). Pergam distributes Megger's TDR, CFL, MPP lines into Russia; product categories overlap materially with Pergam's electrical equipment catalog and mobile labs.
Emerging players
- Sewerin: German specialist in gas leak detection equipment (methane, water, district heating). Comparable technology stack to Pergam's СЕЛЬМА and water-leak detection service line, including mobile solutions for utility network operators.
- Heath Consultants: North American provider of methane leak detection equipment and services to gas utilities. Comparable business model combining manufactured leak survey hardware (including Optical Methane Detector heritage) with field service revenue, similar to Pergam's СЕЛЬМА + field services offering.
Direct peers
- Dräger: German manufacturer of gas detection, respiratory protection and industrial safety instrumentation. Direct overlap with Pergam's fixed and portable methane/gas detection range as well as safety-critical industrial instrumentation; Pergam is also a Dräger distributor.
- FLUKE (Fortive): Global leader in handheld electrical test, measurement and thermal imaging instruments widely used by power utilities and industrial maintenance teams. Strong overlap with Pergam's electrical testing and thermal imaging distribution and proprietary portfolios.
- Riken Keiki: Japanese manufacturer specializing in portable and fixed gas detectors for combustible and toxic gases. Closest direct competitor to Pergam's СЕЛЬМА portable methane detectors and broader gas detection offering in oil & gas, chemical and utility markets.
- Teledyne FLIR (formerly FLIR Systems): Global leader in thermal imaging and optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras including the GF series for methane/VOC leak detection. Highly comparable because Pergam both distributes FLIR products in Russia and competes against them in Russia with its own РТР and СЕЛЬМА product lines.
- Guide Sensmart (Wuhan Guide Infrared): Chinese thermal imaging manufacturer covering industrial, medical, security and consumer segments. Directly comparable to Pergam's TITAN and Pergam-branded thermal imagers; Pergam is also a Guide Sensmart distributor in Russia.
- Testo: German manufacturer of portable measurement technology including industrial thermal imagers, flue gas analyzers and pressure/temperature instruments. Comparable product categories and customer base (HVAC, industrial, energy auditors); also one of the brands Pergam distributes.
