Stahl Specialty Company, a carve-out from ThyssenKrupp, is a dominant supplier of machined permanent mold aluminum castings serving the heavy truck, marine, heavy industry, and automotive end markets. Speyside Equity exited Stahl Specialty Company in 2010. The transaction completed a successful investment during the financial crisis and included a period of restructuring and refocusing the company for future growth. Pacific Steel, founded in 1934 and based in Berkeley, California, makes carbon, low-alloy, and stainless steel castings for US and international customers, mainly for heavy-duty trucks, oil-drilling construction equipment, and other heavy industrial end-markets. The company employed 430 employees and generated close to $100 million in revenue in three plants at the Berkeley site.
