Maysteel Acquires DAMAC

Maysteel Industries, LLC (“Maysteel”), a leading manufacturer of custom, precision, OEM sheet metal enclosures, electrical cabinets and metal fabricated assemblies, announced today the acquisition of DAMAC Products, LLC (“DAMAC”), a leading manufacturer of custom data center infrastructure equipment.

DAMAC’s data center infrastructure products include server cabinets, wallmount racks, seismic and thermal management products, power distribution equipment and cable runway systems. DAMAC’s product line includes more than 2,500 items engineered to the most exacting specifications. The company’s engineers also work closely with customers to deliver tailored infrastructure solutions that precisely meet their needs. DAMAC currently serves a number of industries, including cloud computing, cloud storage, colocation, energy, finance, retail, and telecommunications and is tracking potential adjacent industry verticals, including healthcare, education, and government.


This transaction is an important step in our efforts to continue to transform Maysteel by broadening its geographic footprint across North America and leveraging DAMAC’s existing presence in Europe. In addition, both Maysteel and DAMAC offer customized metal fabrication solutions in adjacent markets that each can assist in supporting. As the data center industry continues to evolve towards larger hyper-scale data centers, operators are demanding customized, alternative designs and technologies to drive economies of scale. The strength of DAMAC’s customer relationships and its growth trajectory are impressive, and we look forward to building on that momentum to bring even more comprehensive solutions to current and new markets/core segments.
