I am building a new observatory and am wanting to know who
makes a good pier to mount a permanent installation of a
Paramount ME.

On the Cloudy Nights website, one of the advertisers on the right side of the panel is called Pier Tech. They show all types of piers including some with the Paramount ME installed. Give it a try.

Bisque sells a full line of piers. They are not cheap, but they are very well made with powder coated finish inside and out. All the surfaces are flat and parallel, and all the holes in the upper and lower plates are drilled/tapped -- they are ready to use with no additional work.
