Highly automated specialist in industrial metal processing seeking a successor due to retirement
Company Description
As part of a structured business succession plan, there is an opportunity to acquire an established industrial metal fabrication company in western Austria. The company combines stamping, bending, wire forming, and tube bending technologies with assembly manufacturing, surface finishing, heat treatment, specialized functional coatings, and in-house testing and measurement capabilities. This allows for the production of complex series-produced and specialty parts largely from a single source.
Investment Profile
- - Location: Western Austria, industrial location with excellent transportation links
- - Business model: Industrial B2B precision manufacturing with high in-house value creation
- - Workforce: approximately 15 employees
- - Revenue: approximately EUR 2.0 to 3.2 million in previous fiscal years
- - Profitability: consistently high operating income with normalized EBITDA of approximately EUR 0.9 million
- - Transaction: Share deal, optionally including the business property or with a long-term lease of the location
Investment Highlights
- - Long-standing industrial customer relationships, as well as recurring production orders and multi-year supply or framework agreements with a planning horizon extending into the early 2030s
- - High vertical integration, ranging from metalworking to assemblies, functional surfaces, and heat treatment, through to in-house quality control
- - High degree of automation, including multiple automated press lines, robot cells, painting lines, and digital 3D measurement and inspection technology
- - In-house engineering and R&D expertise, proprietary technologies, and ongoing development projects for new thermal applications
- - A young, well-maintained machine park and existing capacity for further growth without the need for major site expansion
- - Structured handover by the current owner—additional advisory support for several years is also possible upon agreement
With this succession project, we are primarily targeting entrepreneurial and strategic buyers. As part of the transaction process, proof of at least EUR 1 million in available equity must be provided.
