The Fast And The Curious
Peridot is known for surmounting any and all engineering obstacles.
While we don’t think of ourselves as daredevils, truth is we love a good challenge — finding ways to do what the others say can’t be done. We thrive on meeting and exceeding deadlines. With over twenty years experience with device fabrication and precision miniature and micro-miniature component assembly, Peridot can prototype, test and produce at the speed of delight.

Achieving the impossible every day. Often before lunch.
Started with a passion for innovation and finding the perfect solution.
Founded by Patrick E. Pickerell and Debra Van Sickle, Peridot opened our doors in June 1996 in a small “incubator” workshop with four employees and a modest collection of machine tools. Word of our quality work and expertise quickly spread, and we were soon engaged to ramp up projects for full production. As business quickly grew throughout the late 90’s, we began recruiting the top people available, and we invested in new and more advanced equipment. This allowed us to expand our services for our clients and to tackle more complex assignments, while maintaining the highest quality standards.
Peridot soon outgrew our original incubator space. In spring 1999, we moved into a modern, 6,000 square foot facility with space for 20 employees. We continued expanding that space until 2008, when we moved into our current digs: a 30,000 square foot building complete with a ISO Class 8 clean room and space for R&D and engineering. Today, Peridot is proud to employ a dedicated, professional staff of 70, offering a complete range of precision manufacturing and device assembly services. In 2016, Peridot added 3 new lasers, an additional EDM small hole drilling machine and another Mori Seiki Mill-Turn Center, and broke the $10 million mark in annual sales in 2016.
