An established manufacturer of surface treatment equipment

A long-established specialty provider with a broad installed base, high customer loyalty, and concrete growth potential. Established more than 120 years ago, the company develops and manufactures durable equipment for industrial and artisanal surface finishing. The product range extends from standardized and modular systems to custom-engineered solutions. Replacement and wear parts, accessories, and application-specific consulting complement the new equipment business. Market and Customers: The systems are used in the stone, metal, plastics, and glass processing industries, among others. Several thousand installed systems, a broadly diversified customer base, and recurring demand for replacement parts ensure long-term customer relationships and high market penetration. The company holds a leading position in its core segment, the stone industry. Investment Highlights: • Established niche position. More than 120 years of experience, high brand recognition, and a leading position in the core segment. • Broad installed base. Several thousand systems form the foundation for repeat business and long-term customer relationships. • Recurring spare parts business. System-specific spare and wear parts generate ongoing demand and create higher barriers to switching. • Diversified customer base. Customers from the trades, small and medium-sized businesses, and industry limit dependence on individual customers. • Technical expertise. Proven designs and application-specific process knowledge enable tailor-made solutions. • Resilient organization. A long-standing team, clear responsibilities, and documented procedures support the transfer of operational management. Organization and Succession: Standard processes are already handled independently by the team; operational responsibility is distributed among production management, engineering, sales, and administration. The owner focuses primarily on strategic leadership, sales, and the approval of exceptional custom solutions. Up to six months are allocated for the operational handover and onboarding. In addition, the seller can remain available in an advisory capacity for up to another twelve months. Potential: • Systematize sales. Active market development and a stronger field sales presence can better tap into existing market potential. • Expand the existing customer base. Replacement parts, modernizations, and additional services offer opportunities for further follow-up business. • Capitalize on internationalization. Existing dealer contacts and direct customers form a basis for expanding into selected foreign markets. Transaction: As part of an external succession plan, 100% of the company’s shares are for sale. A share deal is planned. The property used for business operations can, in principle, be included in the transaction. Buyer Profile: This transaction opportunity is particularly suited to strategic buyers from the machinery and plant engineering sectors, as well as MBI candidates with industry experience and a technical or sales background. Strategic buyers can additionally realize market, customer, and product synergies.

North Rhine-Westphalia

An established multi-channel e-commerce company specializing in scooters and recreational products under its own brand

An established multi-channel e-commerce business based in North Rhine-Westphalia, in operation since 2016, is for sale. The business specializes in scooters as well as sports and leisure items. Sales are conducted through a long-established Amazon seller account, the company’s own online store, an existing OTTO Marketplace account, and other relevant online marketplaces. The company also owns a registered European private label. In fiscal year 2024, gross revenue of just under €1.0 million was generated through the online sales channels. Since 2025, due to a strategic realignment by the shareholders, the company has deliberately refrained from further actively expanding its inventory and is gradually selling off existing stock. The existing suppliers for the core product range can, in principle, be continued under a new owner. This makes it possible to actively expand the product range again in the short term. In addition, there are existing contacts with manufacturers for the further development of proprietary products and the company’s own brand. The company has a very lean and largely outsourced structure. Warehousing, shipping, and accounting are largely outsourced or, in part, handled through Amazon FBA. The number of employees listed on the platform refers to the current managing director; there are no operational staff, and none need to be taken on as part of the transaction. Other key assets include a long-standing customer and order history, excellent store reviews, established marketplace structures, extensive product and listing data, as well as existing supplier and manufacturer contacts. For a buyer, there is particular potential in restocking inventory, expanding Amazon FBA and the OTTO Marketplace, making greater use of additional sales channels, and further developing the private label.

Buying a company vs. buying a firm

Buying a company means acquiring an independent organizational unit that regularly carries out an economic activity. A company can consist of one or several business operations. An individual can also found such an independent unit if they regularly carry out an economic activity — in that case it is called a sole proprietorship. As a rule, sole proprietors don't have to register in the commercial register; without that registration, they don't legally count as a "firm." A trade name, colloquially a "firm," is the name under which a company or sole proprietor appears publicly and conducts its business. Buying "a firm" therefore technically means acquiring the company's name or trading name. In everyday use, though, it's used interchangeably with buying a company — i.e. acquiring the entire business.
