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

- 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
