Pacific Shoring

What Pacific Shoring does

Pacific Shoring, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Santa Rosa, California, manufactures underground and trench shoring assemblies and related safety equipment used in excavation, utility installation, and infrastructure construction projects. The company's product portfolio is anchored in shoring and trench-shield systems, and it has expanded that portfolio through acquisitions including Xterra Trench Shields in January 2020 and Prospan Shoring in July 2025. Pacific Shoring operates as a privately held, for-profit manufacturer with 11–50 employees.

In 2024, Pacific Shoring became one of two platform investments of Palm Peak Capital, a Boca Raton–based private equity firm founded by Steve Liff, Daniel Florian, and Jeremy Stone, which closed its inaugural $374 million fund in February 2026. Earlier institutional sponsorship included a December 2019 funding round with Huron Capital and Salt Creek Capital. Under Palm Peak's ownership, the company is executing a roll-up strategy in the fragmented shoring-manufacturing niche, retaining acquired brand identities (e.g., Prospan Shoring as a wholly-owned sub-brand) to preserve channel access.

The business model is industrial B2B manufacturing: Pacific Shoring fabricates and sells safety-critical shoring equipment to contractors, rental-fleet operators, utilities, and municipal infrastructure buyers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with project-driven, quote-based selling typical of engineered construction safety equipment. Customer composition, revenue mix, and pricing mechanics are not disclosed in available sources, so revenue concentration and per-unit economics cannot be characterized with precision.
