JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 4, 2025--

Dubin Clark & Company, Inc. (“Dubin Clark”), a private equity firm focused on partnering with lower middle market businesses, is pleased to announce the sale of Reel Power International Corp. (“Reel Power” or the “Company”), a leading provider of engineered winding, spooling, and material-handling equipment, to StoneTree Investment Partners LLC (“Stone Tree”), a private equity firm specializing in niche manufacturing and industrial companies.

Headquartered in Oklahoma City with additional operations in Houston, Reel Power is a premier manufacturer of automation-enabled solutions used across wire and cable manufacturing, distribution, marine, energy, defense, and broader industrial applications. The Company’s product portfolio – spanning automated take-ups and pay-offs, coilers, measures, DCB accumulators, hydraulic connectors, winches, and other proprietary systems – supports customers’ productivity, safety, and efficiency initiatives across mission-critical use cases.

In 2023, Dubin Clark and Praesidian Capital partnered on the investment. During that time, Reel Power delivered strong growth and executed on multiple value-creation initiatives, including expanding automated and integrated system offerings; improving gross margin and operating efficiency through LEAN and digital on-floor processes; strengthening recurring revenue via parts, service, and certification programs; and investing in engineering, R&D, and production capacity.

Thomas J. Caracciolo, Managing Partner at Dubin Clark, stated: “Reel Power has become a differentiated leader in automated and engineered material-handling solutions, with strong tailwinds supporting its long-term market opportunity. The management team executed exceptionally well across product development, operations, and customer service.”

Mesirow served as the exclusive financial advisor to Reel Power in connection with the transaction.
