Founder of Perk Products, Richard V. Perkerson Sr., on a sales call

Founded in 1937 by Richard V. Perkerson, Perk Products & Chemical Company remains a family-owned and operated business committed to developing and manufacturing the highest quality commercial and residential concrete sealers, brick and tile cleaners, water softeners, pool salts and calcium chloride-based ice melts.

Headquartered in Nashville, TN and made in the USA, Perk Products are available from coast to coast. 

In 1980, Perk Products began making an acrylic-based concrete sealer that would eventually become known as the Black Bull sealer currently available in stores. Today, Richard V. Perkerson Jr. and his two sons, Scott Perkerson and Richard V. Perkerson III are proud of the changes and innovations they and their team of sales, administration, and manufacturing professionals have been a part of.

From selling products out the back of a pre-war station wagon to today’s state-of-the art chemical processing facilities, Richard V. Perkerson’s hard work and vision led to a dedicated customer-first approach to business that continues to define Perk Products and Chemical Company.
