Grizzly MEP Expands Platform Through Partnership with Alabama-Based Stegall Mechanical
Grizzly MEP, a rapidly growing commercial mechanical, electrical, and plumbing platform focused on partnering with high-performing regional contractors, has announced a new strategic partnership with Stegall Mechanical, a well-established provider of MEP services headquartered in Alabama. The partnership marks another major step in Grizzly’s ongoing expansion strategy as the company continues building a nationwide network of leading MEP businesses.
The agreement brings Stegall Mechanical into Grizzly’s expanding platform of regional contractors and strengthens the company’s presence throughout the Southeast United States. Grizzly MEP said the partnership aligns with its long-term goal of working alongside experienced founders and management teams while helping local brands scale their operations through additional resources, technology, and operational support.
Stegall Mechanical has served commercial customers across Alabama and the broader Southeast region for decades and is recognized for its expertise across plumbing, HVAC, and electrical services. By joining the Grizzly platform, the company will gain access to enterprise-level infrastructure, strategic investment capital, advanced technologies, and broader operational capabilities designed to support future growth.
John Adams, Chief Executive Officer of Grizzly MEP, described the partnership as a natural next step in the company’s expansion strategy and emphasized the importance of strong management teams in Grizzly’s growth model.
“Partnering with Stegall is the logical next step in Grizzly’s evolution as we expand our geographic footprint and uncover additional opportunities to drive value across our platform,” Adams said. “Grizzly is built on the strength of our partnerships, and Stegall’s excellent management team exemplifies exactly who we look to align ourselves with.”
Adams noted that Stegall’s long-standing reputation and deep industry expertise make the company an ideal fit for the Grizzly platform. He highlighted the contractor’s strong regional presence, customer relationships, and proven ability to deliver quality service across multiple industries.
“As a strong regional brand with almost seven decades in operation, Stegall has established customer relationships, a trusted reputation for quality, and a demonstrated track record of reliability across the Southeast,” Adams added. “The brand’s deep technical and operational expertise present significant synergies with the rest of our partner brands, and we’re excited to welcome the Stegall team to our platform as we work together to scale the business and unlock its full potential.”
Founded in 1957, Stegall Mechanical has built a diversified business model centered around three core service divisions: plumbing, HVAC, and electrical contracting. The company serves a broad range of end markets, including industrial facilities, utilities, education, healthcare, food and hospitality, retail, and commercial property sectors.
Operating from its headquarters in Birmingham, Alabama, Stegall provides full-service capabilities that include pre-construction planning, mechanical contracting, plumbing installation, electrical work, and ongoing maintenance and service operations. The company’s workforce includes experienced project managers, licensed trade professionals, and highly trained in-house technicians who support projects throughout the Southeast region.
The partnership with Grizzly is expected to create new opportunities for operational growth and cross-selling across Stegall’s customer base. By integrating with the larger platform, Stegall will be able to leverage shared best practices, broader technical resources, and enhanced business systems while continuing to operate under its established regional brand.
According to Grizzly MEP, one of the key goals of the partnership model is to help successful regional contractors preserve the strengths that made them successful while also providing additional support for scaling operations. This includes investments in technology, workforce development, operational efficiency, and long-term business growth strategies.
Stegall President James Rudloff said joining Grizzly represents an important milestone for the company and will help position the business for continued expansion throughout the Southeast market.
“Joining Grizzly is an exciting new chapter for Stegall that will enable us to expand into new end markets and customers across the Southeast while maintaining our commitment to excellence, high customer satisfaction, and keen attention to detail,” Rudloff said.
He added that Grizzly’s leadership team recognizes the importance of Stegall’s customer-focused approach and company culture, which have been central to the business for decades.
“John and the Grizzly team recognize the value in what we have built and the importance of our unique approach centered around transparent communication, quality workmanship, and continuous education to support our team’s development,” Rudloff explained. “We are excited to work closely together to accelerate growth and ensure our business’s success for many years to come.”
The Stegall partnership continues a period of rapid expansion for Grizzly MEP. The company has recently announced several other strategic partnerships with regional contractors across multiple U.S. markets. These include partnerships with Vermont Mechanical, a New England-based full-service mechanical contractor, as well as Mid-Atlantic and Southeast firms such as Excel MEP, Air Design Systems, and Stiles Heating & Cooling.
Through these acquisitions and partnerships, Grizzly is building a diversified national platform focused on delivering integrated MEP solutions across commercial and industrial markets. Industry analysts note that consolidation within the MEP contracting sector has accelerated in recent years as companies seek scale, workforce stability, technology integration, and expanded geographic reach.
The growing demand for infrastructure upgrades, commercial construction, energy efficiency improvements, and data center development has also increased opportunities for MEP contractors nationwide. As a result, many regional contractors are seeking strategic partnerships that provide additional resources and operational support while preserving local leadership and customer relationships.
Grizzly’s continued expansion is supported by Garnett Station Partners, a New York-based principal investment firm that manages approximately $4 billion in assets. The investment firm has backed several growth-oriented platform companies across infrastructure, services, and industrial sectors.
With the addition of Stegall Mechanical, Grizzly MEP further strengthens its position in the Southeast market while continuing to build a national network of experienced MEP contractors focused on operational excellence, customer service, and long-term growth.
As demand for commercial MEP services continues to rise across construction, healthcare, education, industrial, and infrastructure sectors, the partnership is expected to create new opportunities for both companies while supporting continued expansion throughout the region.
