Asset-Heavy Industrial Platform Tooling Company for Sale — Priced Below Intrinsic Value

Acquisition Price: $8.0M (plus Real Estate)
Asking Price (excluding A/R): $7.0M

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a resilient, scalable industrial manufacturing platform with substantial embedded value beyond traditional EBITDA/SDE multiples. Ideal for experienced operators or private equity buyers with a strategic focus on machining, tooling, and precision industrial production.

Key Investment Highlights

• Robust Hard Asset Base
  Independent 2023 appraisal values machinery and equipment at $4.54M, with an additional $2M+ in specialty tooling, raw materials, dies, and cutting equipment—value not reflected in traditional financial models.
• Reliable Cash Flow Generation
  Despite broader market softness, the business-maintained profitability in 2024:
  • EBITDA: $923.9K
  • SDE: $1.145M
• Attractive Valuation Multiples
  • EBITDA Multiple: ~5.75x
  • SDE Multiple: ~3.5x
    Both well-aligned with or below market benchmarks for lower-middle-market manufacturing companies.
• Diverse & Loyal Customer Base
  No customer accounts for more than 15% of revenue. Long-standing relationships span the automotive tooling, plastics, stamping, and power transmission sectors. Less than 5% exposure to volatile markets (e.g., oil & gas).
• Scalable Production with Capacity to Grow
  Current facility utilization is only 60–70%. A second shift or bolt-on acquisition could yield 30–40% topline growth with limited CapEx.
• Experienced Workforce with Low Turnover
  Skilled machinists and technical personnel with deep institutional knowledge and loyalty—critical for quality and continuity.
• Flexible Real Estate Options
  Over 48,000 sq ft of seller-owned manufacturing space. Available for lease or purchase.
  • Lease Rate: $260K/year + escalator
  • Real Estate Asking Price: $4.0M (not included in business purchase price)

Financial Summary

Note: The dip in 2024 performance reflects broader macroeconomic conditions—elevated interest rates, deferred industrial procurement, and election-related uncertainty. Early 2025 results indicate a strong rebound, trending toward the performance levels of 2023.

Strategic Advantages

• Low customer concentration and long-term contract stability
• High-margin production with preserved profitability during downturn
• Significant non-capitalized asset base (~$2M+ in tooling and materials)
• Ready-to-scale operations with minimal investment
• Limited regional and national competition in precision machining at this scale

Summary of Offer Terms

Final Remarks

Business Description

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a high-margin, asset-heavy industrial tooling and machining business serving diversified customers across sectors like automotive, plastics, stamping, and power transmission.

The company owns a large base of capital equipment (appraised at $4.54M) and additional tooling and inventory exceeding $2M+ in value, much of which is not reflected in EBITDA/SDE metrics. No customer represents more than 15% of sales, and less than 5% of revenue comes from high-volatility industries like oil & gas.

Despite broader market conditions in 2024, the business remained profitable and is trending upward in 2025. With operations running at 60–70% capacity, a buyer could scale revenues by 30–40% with minimal CapEx via a second shift or bolt-on acquisition.

Key Highlights

• Strong Asset Base: Independent equipment appraisal of $4.54M + $2M+ in additional tooling/inventory
• Reliable Cash Flow: 2024 EBITDA of ~$924K; SDE of ~$1.15M
• Below-Market Valuation Multiples: ~5.75x EBITDA / ~3.5x SDE
• Diversified Customers: No concentration risk; stable recurring business
• Scalable Capacity: 30–40% potential topline growth with minor investment
• Skilled Workforce: Experienced team with low turnover
• Real Estate Flexibility: Over 48,000 sq ft available to lease or purchase

Growth & Expansion

• Add second shift to boost capacity by 40%
• Leverage deep customer relationships to grow wallet share
• Expand into adjacent manufacturing or tooling segments
• Explore automation and lean CapEx initiatives to increase margins

Support & Training

Ownership is committed to a smooth transition and is open to supporting post-sale integration, including advisory roles or management retention.

Ideal Buyer

Strategic industrial operators, machining companies, or private equity groups with capital access and industry understanding. This is not a turnaround—it’s a stable platform with undervalued hard assets and built-in upside.
