Praesidian Capital Announces Sale Of Reel Power International To StoneTree Investment Partners

OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Praesidian Capital, a private equity firm focused on control investments in 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 ("StoneTree"), 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.

During the investment period, the Company expanded its automation and integrated systems portfolio, implemented targeted LEAN and workflow enhancements to improve gross margin and throughput, and formalized a structured aftermarket program to increase recurring revenue from parts, service, and certification offerings. Reel Power also added engineering and technical resources, strengthened its product development pipeline, and invested in production capacity to support growing demand across wire and cable, energy, marine, and defense applications.

Tom Duffy, Partner at Praesidian Capital, stated: "Reel Power has demonstrated exceptional performance and continues to distinguish itself as a leader in automated and engineered material-handling solutions. Our partnership with Dubin Clark and the Company's management team was highly collaborative and impactful, enabling meaningful advancements across operations, product development, and customer service.
