All Metals Industries

All Metals Industries

All Metals Industries operates as the private investment and holding vehicle for John A. Pritzker, a member of the Pritzker family whose wealth originates from the Hyatt Hotels chain and the diversified Marmon Group industrial conglomerate founded by his forebears. The office sits in Belmont, California, well outside the Chicago base of the broader family enterprise, reflecting an independent investment operation run at a deliberate distance. Pritzker's vehicle is distinguished by its hybrid structure — it is not a passive allocator but an active acquirer of middle-market industrial companies. Its most significant known holding is Gehring, a German-headquartered specialist in precision honing machines used to finish engine cylinders, EV battery housings, and hydraulic components. Gehring supplies equipment to nearly every global automaker and its technologies are embedded in the energy transition via battery manufacturing lines (per the firm's official communications). Beyond industrial operating businesses, All Metals Industries has made direct real estate investments in Northern California and selectively backs venture-stage companies, though the portfolio weightings are not publicly disclosed. Staffing and total deployment figures are not public. The office operates with a lean team typical of Pritzker-family satellite vehicles, drawing on the broader network of the family's industrial expertise. In recent years, Pritzker has also been active in media and entertainment via a separate platform, including the acquisition of SpinMedia properties like Stereogum (per Billboard, 2020), indicating an investment appetite that spans hard-asset industrial manufacturing and digital consumer brands. All Metals Industries exemplifies a second-generation carve-out model: a single-family principal who took a share of a legendary fortune and built a distinctly personal investment identity. Rather than pooling assets with the broader Pritzker family office structure, John Pritzker runs a concentrated operation that buys, holds, and operates industrial businesses directly — a governance choice that trades diversification for deep operational control.
