PIERRE GUERIN is building a new manufacturing facility in North Carolina
PIERRE GUERIN, an entity of Equans Process Solutions, is a global provider specializing in the design, manufacture, and installation of vessels and automated process lines for the pharma & biotech, food & beverage and cosmetics industries. The company is further expanding its international footprint with the construction of a new manufacturing facility in the United States, in Clayton, North Carolina. The Groundbreaking Ceremony for the new plant took place on July 7, 2026, in the presence of local officials and community representatives.
PIERRE GUERIN has established itself as a key player of equipment design, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance services for process industries such as pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.
Its mission is to support its clients in high-value-added process industries in achieving operational excellence and sustainable performance.
Over the decades, PIERRE GUERIN has taken on new challenges and developed complementary areas of expertise. Having established a presence in Europe, then in China and South Korea, the company now employs nearly 600 people worldwide.
Leveraging recognized expertise in engineering, stainless steel fabrication, process piping, and large-scale international management projects, PIERRE GUERIN delivers tailor-made solutions that help industrial customers overcome their most complex operational challenges.
“ We are proud to build our new production facility in the United States. This strategic investment reflects our ambition to support our international and North American customers more closely by providing them with a high level of local service. Starting in 2027, our teams will deliver equipment and process systems that meet the quality standards and industrial excellence for which PIERRE GUERIN is renowned. ”
PIERRE GUERIN’s new production site is located in Clayton, North Carolina, within the Research Triangle region, one of the leading biotechnology and life sciences hubs in the United States, and close to AdvanceTEC, an Equans U.S. company specializing in the design and construction of cleanrooms for high-tech industries. Scheduled to be operational in the second quarter of 2027, the new PIERRE GUERIN facility represents a key milestone in the Group’s growth strategy.
This new strategic location in Clayton, North Carolina, strengthens PIERRE GUERIN’s position in the rapidly growing pharmaceutical and biotechnology market in the United States, while increasing the Group’s capacity to deliver large integrated turnkey solutions for customers worldwide. It also enables the company to build closer relationships with its international and North American clients, whilst significantly reducing project completion and delivery times.
The proximity to AdvanceTEC further strengthens Equans’ ability to provide integrated solutions combining process equipment, cleanroom environments, and advanced facility delivery for a variety of industrial customers.
“ This project is part of a long-term vision aimed at supporting our sustainable international growth and reinforcing our position in advanced industries, particularly in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. ”
