Environmental Products

Location: Midlands

A well-invested and modern manufacturer of fabricated products for the environmental market is for sale. It distinctively employs integrated CNC component manufacture with Robotic-based fabrication. This makes it one of the lowest-cost producers in its sector and it is already contending for market leadership. Due to an unfortunately timed ambitious operational restructure undertaken just before its customers and market entered recession, there has been a period of lossmaking and financial resources have been depleted. The business has now been returned to profits and the medium term outlook is bright with net margin of 9% on sales of £5M forecast for 2010. Following the recent winning of a soft government loan, the business is financially stable. However, the owner-manager wishes to establish an exit route to enable him to retire in 2-3 years time and also feels the company will grow better with additional director expertise. Accordingly an investor is sought who will purchase a controlling share (up to 100%) and who can provide some management expertise at director level. The business is offered for £0.75M cash plus deferred payments financed from future profits share.
