Transaction Significantly Expands Steele Solutions’ Capabilities into Data Center Infrastructure
Establishes Leading North American Provider of Highly Engineered Products and Solutions Serving the Material Handling, Data Center, and Electrical Design End Markets
NEW YORK, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Revelar Capital (“Revelar” or “the Firm”), a leading private equity firm which invests exclusively across specialty manufacturing, healthcare services, and essential services sectors, today announced that its portfolio company, Steele Solutions, a leader in engineered solutions for the material handling industry—including automation controls, electrical design, steel platforms, and chutes—has acquired Maysteel Industries (“Maysteel”). Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Founded in 1936, Maysteel has grown into a leading provider of custom enclosures, hot aisle containment, and precision fabricated solutions, serving a diverse range of end markets including data centers, power solutions, and electrical infrastructure. The company specializes in highly engineered, precision metal products with significant design and manufacturing complexity, requiring deep application expertise and direct iteration to meet customer-specific requirements. Maysteel has driven increased wallet share across its customer base by consistently delivering high-quality products that carry a high cost of failure under demanding timelines and environments.
Since partnering with Steele Solutions in 2020, Revelar has worked closely with the management team to transform the business into a scaled, diversified platform. Under Revelar’s ownership, Steele Solutions has expanded into adjacent product categories through both acquisition and greenfield initiatives, diversified its customer base, increased manufacturing capacity, and materially broadened the platform’s total addressable market. The acquisition of Maysteel marks a milestone in Steele Solutions’ growth, expanding its capabilities and positioning it to capitalize on strong secular tailwinds, including accelerating U.S. data center investment and increasing electrification.
“We have partnered closely with the Steele Solutions team to transform the business, expanding its capabilities and the end markets it serves,” said John Morningstar, Managing Partner at Revelar. “During this time, the company has enhanced its commercial and manufacturing operations and successfully executed a thoughtful strategic plan to create a stronger and more resilient business with many avenues for growth. The addition of Maysteel is a major step in this evolution, strengthening Steele Solutions’ capabilities across core growth sectors and enhancing its ability to create sustained organic and inorganic growth.”
“The acquisition of Maysteel marks the latest exciting chapter within our growth-oriented partnership with Revelar, who has pushed us to accelerate our investment in the business, supporting our strong track record of organic and M&A driven growth,” said Kevin O’Neill, CEO of Steele Solutions. “Our top priority is ensuring we further our platform’s value proposition by continuing to deliver on being a leading solutions provider to our broadened customer base. Maysteel has built an exceptional reputation for quality and reliability, and we’re excited to welcome their talented team into the Steele Solutions family. We look forward to working alongside them and our long-term partners at Revelar to build on this momentum and drive continued growth.”
“Maysteel has delivered strong historical growth, driven by its differentiated engineering capabilities and trusted position with customers,” said William Paolella, Principal at Revelar Capital. “Its presence in fast-growing data center and electrification end markets is highly complementary to Steele Solutions and expands the platform’s exposure to compelling secular tailwinds. With Steele Solutions’ broader capabilities, resources, and strategic focus on investment-led growth, we see an attractive opportunity to scale the Maysteel business even more rapidly going forward.”
