- Gérard Perrier Industrie S.A. (PERR.PA) designs, manufactures, and markets industrial equipment for fluid transfer, primarily serving the water, wastewater, oil and gas, nuclear, and chemical industries. The company offers a comprehensive range of products including centrifugal pumps (horizontal, vertical, self-priming, and multistage models), dosing pumps, macerators, strainers, and control valves; services encompass custom engineering, installation, maintenance, and after-sales support for pumping stations and fluid handling systems. Headquartered in Paris, France, and founded in 1947, it operates across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, with subsidiaries in key markets to support local project execution and service delivery.
The company's core brands include Perrier (pumps and strainers for water treatment), FLORICO (dosing and control equipment), and SERT (high-pressure pumps for oil and gas), targeting municipal utilities, industrial plants, power generation facilities, and EPC contractors requiring reliable fluid management solutions. Operations emphasize modular, corrosion-resistant designs compliant with ISO and API standards, enabling applications in desalination, irrigation, and hazardous environments.
In recent developments, Gérard Perrier Industrie expanded its nuclear sector presence through strategic partnerships with French nuclear operators in 2024, enhancing pump qualifications for EPR2 reactor projects; the company also secured a major funding round from institutional investors to support R&D in energy-efficient pumps amid EU green deal initiatives. Additionally, it launched the next-generation Perrier SVP series of vertical pumps in early 2025, featuring IoT-enabled monitoring for predictive maintenance, and acquired a stake in a North African distributor to bolster regional wastewater infrastructure projects. These moves reflect a strategic shift toward sustainable technologies and international growth, positioning the firm for increased market share in decarbonization efforts.
