Our Guest Speaker - Peter Vigue

Peter G. Vigue lives each day with urgency, passion, and conviction. His energy, love of life, ability to motivate people, and willingness to tackle what others often consider the impossible, have allowed him to accomplish much and touch the lives of many. With a B.S. in Marine Engineering from Maine Maritime Academy, Pete Vigue joined Cianbro in 1970 working his way through the ranks to become president in 1991 and CEO in 2000. Pete’s leadership has grown Cianbro from a small, family-owned enterprise to a mid-sized, employee-owned, growth company with gross annual sales in excess of $300 million.

Under his leadership, the company has reinvented itself, and in the process, has established itself as an example for companies across the country to follow. Cianbro has been recognized nationally for its leadership in workplace wellness and safety.

Most recently, Cianbro announced their intention to revitalize the Eastern Fine Paper Mill in Brewer into a modular construction facility. Once manufacturing begins, the Brewer facility will employ approximately 500 highly skilled people.

In a recent interview, Peter indicated that his plan to build a modular construction facility in Brewer is part of his larger goal of revitalizing Maine’s economy. The project “is not about Cianbro. It’s not about me. It’s about the people [of Maine] and their ability to meet just about any challenge you put in front of them.”

“Maine’s greatest asset is our people. Their work ethic, ingenuity, and determination are second to none. In fact, we believe people are the very heart and soul of the economic vision we share with the City of Brewer for this site, our region, and our state.”
-Peter Vigue
