- Perpetual Industries Inc. (PRPI) is a U.S. public company engaged in the research, development, commercialization, and operation of energy-efficient technologies and collector car auction services. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Auburn, Indiana, the company primarily operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, Worldwide Group, LLC (Worldwide Auctioneers), which specializes in live and online auctions of classic and vintage motorcars; private sales; appraisals; collection management; estate planning; and asset consultancy for automotive collectors worldwide. Additional core offerings include the AutoGrafic software-as-a-service platform for automotive promotion and preservation; XYO mechanical balancer technology applicable to automobiles, white goods, HVAC systems, electric motors, generators, centrifuges, turbines, and aircraft; WindSilo vertical axis wind turbines; blockchain software applications; and legacy digital asset mining operations.
In 2024, Perpetual Industries initiated a strategic reorganization to pivot from bitcoin mining and energy-efficient R&D toward a vertically integrated presence in the collectible automobile and recreational vehicle markets, including active pursuit of related acquisitions to expand its footprint. The company previously acquired AutoGrafic software and Worldwide Auctioneers to bolster its collector car segment, while maintaining select green energy products like XYO-enhanced OEM washing machines. Perpetual Industries targets high-net-worth collectors, enthusiasts, and institutions globally, with operations centered in North America and a physical showroom in Auburn, Indiana; Roderick Charles Egan serves as Interim President and Managing Director, overseeing auction leadership with over $3 billion in lifetime sales.
