Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E): FF&E of $1,000,000 was included in the asking price. Shop assets included multiple press brakes, punch presses, a large capacity laser cutter, ironworkers, welders, drill presses, lathe, mill, key setter, automatic saws, sanders, grinders, plate rollers, fixture tables, forklift, multiple overhead cranes, jib cranes, a paint booth, paint equipment, and shelving and racks for material storage. Office equipment included workstations, computers, conference tables, desks, chairs, file cabinets, CAD software, large format plotters and printers, phone systems, copy machine and various other office furniture and equipment.
Inventory and WIP: Inventory and WIP of $850,000 was included in the asking price to be adjusted up or down for actual amount at time of closing. Inventory and WIP included raw material (plate, angle, beam, grating, sheet metal, etc.) and a wide range of commercial components for conveyor assemblies and spare part orders (motors, bearings, rollers, idlers, belting, fasteners, etc.).
Real Estate: Real Estate was owned by the Seller and for sale with the business. The Real Estate was appraised at $2,000,000 not included in the Asking Price. The building was approximately 50,000 SF with 40,000 SF of manufacturing space and 10,000 SF of office space. The Real Estate could accommodate an additional 30,000 SF manufacturing space expansion to increase production capacity.
Growth and Expansion: The business was an excellent strategic acquisition opportunity for someone already in the industry to acquire a long-established brand name with an excellent reputation and customer relationships. The owner was confident a new owner could grow the business with existing customers as well as add new customers and end markets. Other growth and expansion opportunities included but were not limited to developing a strategic marketing plan and hiring additional sales, marketing, and engineering personnel. The facility offered ample office space to add these personnel. The business ran one shift. Additional shifts could drastically increase production capacity to further capitalize on the existing facility. The real estate could accommodate a facility expansion to approximately double the current manufacturing space to further increase production capacity before outgrowing the real estate.
Support/Training: Ownership was willing to include a reasonable transition period to facilitate a smooth transition and interested in staying on long term to help scale the business.
Reason for Selling: Ownership was seeking a strategic sale.
