Businesses for Sale (Mandated) Engineering

Component Engineering

Location: SE

A niche engineering business based SE is for sale which remanufactures and sells consumable electromechanical components to UK commercial and industrial users. It mainly serves the vehicle aftermarket where most of its business is of a repeat nature. It has been steadily turning over £2.2M in recent years, but there are now good opportunities to increase sales by selling to new customers in the commercial sector. 100% of the shareholding is offered at an Asking Price of circa £500K

Automation/Robotics Systems and Special Purpose Machines
Location: Midlands

Designer and manufacturer of special purpose machines, especially mechanical automation systems and robotically based machines. This company employs a specialist team of mechanical, electrical and software engineers to design and manufacture bespoke capital equipment for a range of industries including food processing, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and automotive. It also holds an established market position as an experienced machine integrator. Turnover is £2M. Comes with a strong management team.

Mechanical Facilities Management
Location: East

A well-established mechanical engineering services firm is for sale. It provides a wide range of fabrication, machining, repair and installation services to the food and process industries in Eastern England. Services include an unusually diverse range of skills included (coded) pressure welding, machining assembly, and fitting. About one third of turnover is the direct provision of mechanical maintenance to clients’ factories via permanent on-site teams. The balance is comprised of equipment repairs or renewals from the base workshop where the offices are also located on a leasehold site. It operates only as a direct supplier to the end-users, and most of its business is repeat. It is increasingly being used by its customers as an outsourced mechanical services provider, and there is good potential to develop this into a wider engineering FM provider including other engineering supplies.

The sale is due to the planned retirement of its owner-manager. However, good succession planning means a full day-today management team remains in place post-sale. Turnover is £1.2M on which healthy profits are made. There is good scope for expansion even with existing customers who want to increase their outsourcing. Price £250K for the leasehold operation. SOLD

Utility Engineering Services

Location: North

UK-wide provider of specialist engineering services to the rail and utility industries. Scope embraces maintenance, repairs, refurbishment, capital renewals, environmental, project management and specialist equipment hire. This is a genuine niche operator in a sector with a high entry barrier. Turnover last year circa £16M and +£23M is expected this year with net profit margins of at least 10%. There are strong growth prospects. Price £8.5M NOW SOLD
