Custom Machine Building for Industrial Metal Forming
Company Description
We are exclusively representing the shareholder of a medium-sized German specialty machinery manufacturer in the sale of shares. The ownership stake has been deliberately left open: both a majority and a minority stake are possible.
The company develops, designs, and builds systems for industrial metal forming. The foundation of its technology is a proprietary drive and operating principle developed over approximately 25 years of product and control system development, which enables higher precision, freely programmable motion sequences, and a compact, oil-free design compared to conventional technology. The company’s value creation lies in engineering, control technology, and commissioning.
Each system is designed specifically for the project. Customers come from various industrial sectors, and as repeat customers, they regularly order follow-up machines. Following a weak year for the industry in 2025, the order situation has improved significantly: The order backlog and proposals in advanced stages are significantly above annual production capacity and extend at least through the end of 2027.
The background to this is an age-related succession plan, structured simultaneously as a growth partnership: The commercial and technical management teams will remain in place regardless of this change. We are seeking a tech-savvy partner with capital and market access to facilitate scaling.
Below, we present the company’s key metrics:
-Revenue: 3.6–6.2 million EUR
-Location: North Rhine-Westphalia
-Employees: just under 20
-Adjusted EBITDA: up to 1.0 million EUR
-In-house developed technology, registered trademark
-Order backlog significantly higher than the previous year
