Well-established CNC precision manufacturer specializing in milling, turning, and 5-axis machining in North Rhine-Westphalia

The company is an established service provider in mechanical manufacturing and contract machining with many years of experience in machining complex metal components. It offers a high degree of vertical integration and covers key machining steps ranging from the precise production of individual parts to the manufacture of assemblies. Key factors in its success include its strong expertise in manufacturing technically sophisticated components, its flexibility in producing individual parts and small batches, and its reliable implementation of customer-specific requirements. As a result, the company has positioned itself as a specialized partner for high-quality precision manufacturing.

The company, a medium-sized specialty metalworking firm based in Baden-Württemberg, boasts over 20 years of experience in the CNC manufacturing of complex prototypes and production parts. Specializing in the machining of aluminum and steel components up to 6,000 mm x 2,200 mm in size, the company is known for its precision work and high-quality standards. Despite having annual revenue of less than 1 million euros, it has successfully positioned itself in the market as a system supplier.

The company offers the opportunity to acquire a stake in an established, medium-sized precision machining company in western Germany. In recent years, the company has successfully transitioned from a supplier to the mining industry to a sought-after manufacturing partner in the growth markets of defense, rail, and naval. Thanks to extensive investments in its machinery and the development of long-term customer relationships with well-known industrial companies, the company now enjoys a solid market position and attractive growth prospects. As part of a long-term succession plan, operational responsibility is to be gradually transferred to the two sons of the managing partner, who have been with the company for more than ten years and already hold key management positions in the commercial and technical divisions, respectively. We are seeking investors for a minority stake and/or the provision of mezzanine capital to support further growth and the sustainable continuation of the company’s development.

A profitable metalworking and fabrication business that has been in operation for over 30 years and is based in North Rhine-Westphalia is for sale. The company has a broadly diversified customer base across various industries, including mechanical engineering, automotive, lighting, agriculture, and food processing, thereby eliminating any concentration risk. The modern machinery enables a high degree of vertical integration (including turning, milling, welding, and laser processing).
