Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E): FF&E of $925,000 was included in the asking price. Manufacturing equipment included twelve plastic extrusion lines, hundreds of dies, various support equipment, in-house tool and die room complete with CNC milling and wire EDM, and a quality control room with inspection equipment. Office equipment included computers, desks, chairs, conference table, file cabinets, records, and CAD/CAM software.
Inventory: Inventory of $1,150,000 was included in the asking price to be adjusted up or down for actual amount at time of closing. Inventory included raw material purchased compounds, regrind, mixed compounds, color concentrates and some packaging which was critical to stock to meet customer lead times. The company also offered some stock profiles for common applications and carries some finished goods inventory included in this number.
Real Estate: Real Estate was owned by the Seller and for sale with the business. Estimated value was $1,000,000 not included in the Asking Price. The building was approximately 50,000 SF of manufacturing and office space. Facility was well suited for the current business and well equipped for manufacturing.
Growth and Expansion: The company was an excellent acquisition opportunity for an entrepreneur looking to buy a profitable manufacturing company in an industry well positioned for growth and longevity. The company would also have been a great strategic acquisition for someone already in the industry looking to add a new location to expand their capacity, capabilities, customer base, and/or acquire skilled employees. The company could be grown organically through the development and implementation of a strategic marketing plan and hiring an additional salesperson to target new customer accounts and end markets. The company had begun doing this and already seen growth in new customer accounts and end markets to help diversify customer and industry concentrations. The current equipment was underutilized and offers significant opportunity for growth through improved scheduling and utilization across shifts without additional CapEx
Support/Training: The owner was willing to include a reasonable transition period to facilitate a smooth transition.
Reason for Selling: Retirement.
