Business Succession in Baden-Württemberg

An established, owner-managed company in the field of special-purpose machinery and steel construction is for sale. The company has been operating very successfully in the market for many years and is one of the leading technology providers in a specialized European niche. Its focus is on the development and manufacture of technically sophisticated, custom-designed machine solutions for professional users. The company generates revenue of approximately €6 million, with above-average profitability (EBIT) and attractive margins. The business model is based on a high level of engineering expertise, long-standing customer relationships, and clearly identifiable potential for scaling and growth. The sale is taking place as part of a business succession plan. The current management team is prepared to support the transition.

The company operates two hotels in prime locations in Baden-Württemberg. The two hotels are 15 km apart. Both locations have been modernized and offer ample parking. By sharing overhead resources, the company achieves an optimal cost structure. The current occupancy rate is approximately 71%, which is attributable to the attractiveness of the offerings and the business model. A distinctive feature of the company is its ability to operate without additional specialized staff, which leads to effective cost control and flexibility in personnel deployment. By acquiring these well-located hotels, investors can diversify their portfolio and strengthen their position in the target markets. With an experienced team, a second level of management, a stable occupancy rate of 71%, and a proven self-management model, the hotels offer the buyer the opportunity to benefit from an established source of revenue and to drive their growth. The company currently employs 25 people. All employees have been with the company for the long term.

Established over 30 years ago, this engineering firm has strong regional roots and maintains long-standing client relationships with real estate developers, the public sector, and industrial, commercial, and private clients.

Many small and medium-sized businesses achieve extraordinary things—even if it isn’t immediately apparent. They develop highly complex products. They solve challenges that others fail to overcome. And they master technologies that often need to be explained first. This is exactly where we come in. We distill what makes a company special. We turn complexity into clarity. Performance into relevance. Ideas into strong brands. And products into experiences that are understood—and stick in people’s minds. Because good communication doesn’t just make things visible. It creates understanding. It highlights differences. It gives brands character. And it transforms technological strength into a story that resonates with people. This is how communication with substance and impact is created: convincing to the outside world, fostering identity internally, and always with the goal of setting things in motion.

The company presents itself as an established craft brewery that combines traditional beer brewing with a modern restaurant concept. Strategically located in the vibrant heart of a medium-sized city, it enjoys an excellent location on a bustling market square. With its own brewhouse and a restaurant that can seat up to 160 guests, the company has established itself as a central gathering place that not only attracts beer lovers but also caters to a broader audience with weekend events. Operational excellence and strong local roots are key pillars of the GmbH’s success, and its shares are now available for acquisition. In addition to the business, the property—including the brewhouse—and 15 underground parking spaces are to be sold.
