A niche capital goods company focused on high-pressure steam and industrial process heating applications. Vapor Powers product line is unique with gas and electric powered steam generators. Management and shareholders were looking for a partner to assist strategic growth opportunities.
Management chose to partner with Stone Pointe to structure a recapitalization providing partial liquidity and retained management ownership. Development of the strategic plan included expanding the distribution network and select strategic acquisitions. After Stone Pointe’s investment, Vapor Power acquired Precision Boilers, strategically expanding the product line with additional electrode boilers and auxiliary boiler room equipment.
