Manufacturing Transactions

Electronic Components Manufacturer for the Healthcare Industry

(Ram Technologies) This Company designs and manufactures highly specialized electronic components used by numerous manufacturers for the healthcare industry as well as other specialized uses. One of their niches is manufacturing power supply components, cables, and accessories for medical equipment – specifically echocardiograms. They are an ISO 9001 certified facility and a Tier One supplier to several major manufacturers that use these components exclusively to manufacture and assemble their finished products. We spoke to some companies in the industry that made offers, but the best offer came from an individual that we had a prior relationship with that was looking for this type of company.

Coffee Distribution and Roasting Company in Warren County, NJ

(Classic Gourmet Coffee, Inc.) The sellers owned this business for over 30 years when they came to us to sell their company. The challenge was they didn’t have detailed Profit and Loss information which can be a challenge. However, we reached out to other companies in the coffee industry and we were able to get a large coffee company that was growing through acquisition. We negotiated terms that worked for both parties.

Chemical Cleaning Solutions Company

(American Solutions) A company that provides chemicals to the printing industry, including liquids, powders, diluters, and cleaning brushes used to clean printers. They have environmentally friendly products. We were able to find a buyer that had a background in the industry and introduced them to a banker who arranged SBA financing so the seller did not have to provide financing.

CNC Machine Shop Business in Rochester, NY

(Ultra Tool & Manufacturing) A company that manufacturers components for industries such as Technology, Optics, Healthcare, photonics, aerospace, and automation. The owner was ready to retire after 30 years in the business. They have a 22,000 sq. ft. facility.  They do prototyping, production runs, mechanical subassembly, tuning, and more.  We sold the business to an individual buyer with financing in place and experience working for a large metal fabricator in the area.

Internet Machine Shop Contract Manufacturer

A company that manufactures printed circuit boards (PCBs) and parts for cars, robots, jewelry, watercraft, sporting equipment, and more. The customer can provide their specifications over the internet, and the company can quickly turn around custom made parts and components in metal or plastic. We found a strategic buyer that was also in a similar business and felt that they could cross-sell each other’s customer base. They were willing to pay a higher multiple to acquire the company.

Marine Equipment Manufacturer

The business focused on marine deck equipment engineering, servicing, and manufacturing, including tugboat winches. The owner started the business over 20 years ago and was well-known in the industry. The major mechanical components were made in Korea and assembled in the US; the business had 4 employees, including the owner, who was the main engineer and only sales rep., so he traveled constantly around the world.   Early in the engagement, It was evident that this business required specialized skills, and our best chance of selling would be a  strategic buyer. We worked with our client to get a list of competitors and started calling the highest level we could reach at the companies. Within the first two months, we had an LOI from a large marine deck manufacturer in Houston. However, it became apparent as the deal progressed that the seller’s culture was not going to mesh with the buyer’s culture. So, the deal was called off. We found another buyer in the industry that was recently sold to a Private Equity firm. We initially refused their first offer; they came back a month later with the final offer, which was accepted. The deal had some sticky points, specifically with working capital (earned AR vs. new orders deposits) and how to transfer government contracts due to the CAGE codes, which may or may not be transferred to a new legal entity (long-term Navy contracts), so it ended up being a stock sale.  We were able to overcome the issues and close the deal.

Powder Coating & Metal Finishing Business

They provide powder coating to automotive, industrial, retail, and architectural industries. They have a number of metal manufacturers as customers.  We prequalified the business for SBA financing which made for an easier process for the buyers to obtain financing. The buyers were a husband and wife team that both had corporate jobs and wanted to own their own company. We sold the business in 6 months.
