Environmental Products Location: 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. SOLD |
