NEW YORK – New York private equity fund Monomoy Capital Partners has acquired the assets of MPI LLC from Revstone Industries, LLC. Monomoy acquired MPI through its second fund vehicle, Monomoy Capital Partners II L.P. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
MPI is a leading North American manufacturer of high-precision, fineblanked metal components for powertrain systems, hydraulic systems and other safety-critical automotive and industrial applications. Fineblanking is a dual-press stamping process for cutting, shaping and machining of highly engineered metal components that produces parts with uniform flatness, unparalleled dimensional accuracy and near-net finish. The process is ideal for manufacturing geometrically-complex powertrain and transmission components.
“MPI’s fineblanked product offering and experienced management team create an unmatched foundation for capitalizing on positive trends in automotive transmission components,” said Monomoy partner Daniel Collin. “We are thrilled to add MPI to the Monomoy portfolio of companies.”
Headquartered in Southfield, Mich., MPI supplies automotive original equipment manufacturers with clutch plates, separator plates and backing plates. The company’s automotive customers include several large carmakers and a wide array of Tier I automotive suppliers. MPI also manufactures safety-critical and hydraulic components for heavy-duty vehicles and general industrial customers. The company employs more than 700 team members at four North American manufacturing facilities and its corporate headquarters in Michigan.
“This transaction represents an exciting next step in MPI’s evolution as the premier fineblanked component supplier in North America,” said Mark Mitchell, CEO of MPI. “Monomoy’s operational expertise and strategic guidance will provide MPI with the necessary resources and capital to expand and improve our operations both domestically and abroad. We look forward to the opportunities ahead.”
Monomoy also this year announced it would acquire Holley Performance Products.
