Christine's Craft Supplies
Boat Dealer in Torrance, CA
In 2000, Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC) owned Chris-Craft and eight other boat firms. When the boating conglomerate went bankrupt, Chris-Craft's fate was up in the air and 100's of employees were out of a job. The factory was abandoned and boats sat in various stages of completion. OMC's different brands were auctioned off. Through a short, but complicated, process, the firm passed through a few hands and ended up with Stellican Ltd. A private equity company that specialized in turn-arounds.
