Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E): FF&E of $1,963,570 is included in the asking price and includes CNC lathes, CNC mills, lathes, horizontal boring mills, vertical turret lathes, gear machines, welders, grinders, work benches, pallet racks, cabinets, paint booth, paint equipment, tooling, inspection equipment, forklift, multiple overhead cranes, computers, desks, chairs, conference table, file cabinets, CAD software, and copier.
Inventory and WIP: Inventory and WIP of $965,207 is included in the asking price to be adjusted up or down for actual amount at time of closing. Inventory and WIP includes raw material, commercial components work-in-process, and finished goods inventory that is in stock and ready to ship for customers.
Real Estate: Real Estate is owned by the Seller and for sale with the business. Estimated value is $2,200,000 not included in the Asking Price. The building is approximately 40,000 SF with 37,000 SF of manufacturing space and 3,000 SF of renovated office space. True manufacturing space with multiple overhead cranes, multiple overhead/dock doors, a great location for labor, close to customers and vendors, with convenient highway access.
Growth and Expansion: The business is a great strategic acquisition opportunity for someone already in the machining, fabrication, gearing or capital equipment industries. Growth and expansion opportunities include developing a marketing plan (digital advertising, pay-per-click, social media advertising, and hiring a sales/marketing professional) to target production and higher margin work. Add or acquire a product line (proprietary, captive, or production oriented). Equipment utilization is about 50% allowing a buyer to add more employees to increase work volume/utilization without additional CapEx. The business runs one shift (M-F). Additional shifts would increase capacity without the need for CapEx, further increasing the already great margins. A buyer in the OEM equipment manufacturing industry could look at this to gain a captive supplier with a full suite of in-house capabilities while a machining or fabrication buyer would gain employees, equipment, customers, and excellent cash flow! The real estate has room for more capacity before outgrowing the current space and additional land for a future building addition.
Support/Training: The owner is willing to include a reasonable transition period to facilitate a smooth transition.
Reason for Selling: Selling due to changing family needs.
