SAN FRANCISCO — Percheron Capital (“Percheron”), a private equity firm, announced the formation of its fire and life safety platform alongside industry executive Carmine Schiavone.

Percheron said its platform seeks to be the partner of fire and life safety companies that share a commitment to providing exceptional customer service and cultivating a strong, people-centric culture of teamwork, safety, training and career development. 

“We are thrilled to work with Carmine to build a market-leading fire and life safety platform,” said Chris Collins, co-founder and managing partner of Percheron. “Throughout his career, Carmine has cultivated high-performing, unified cultures that translate to exceptional results. We believe the fire and life safety space is resilient with multiple industry tailwinds driving growth, and we look forward to partnering with like-minded, high-quality companies to accelerate their growth and expand their delivery of mission-critical services to more customers and communities across the country.”

Prior to partnering with Percheron, Schiavone led the largest fire and life safety business in North America at Johnson Controls and Tyco International.
