THE Business for Sale Marketplace

This business offers a unique opportunity to acquire a proven innovator with a reputation for creating ground-breaking solutions for the food industry. This company has recently adapted its own solutions – used successfully in the poultry industry for years – for one of the top-three red meat processors in the world, and has been told that its systems will “change the way red meat is processed across the globe.” One client estimates savings from reductions in labor and down-time after installing this company’s equipment in domestic plants only at over $100M a year; the company is now retrofitting the first of several U.S. facilities for this client.

Established in 1994, this custom metal fabrication business specializes in designing stainless steel food processing equipment for the meat and poultry industry, and is recognized as a market leader in the controlled infeeding and storage of raw product. Fortune 500 companies rely on this well-known and respected niche player for engineered reliable, custom-designed infeed systems for all types of applications. The company’s patented solutions to labor intensive issues have been quietly revolutionizing the meat processing industry, and saving its customers tens of millions of dollars since its first patent was issued in 1995.

This business currently markets and manufactures five U.S. patents, and has two patents pending. All intellectual properties provide labor saving solutions for the food industry. Five of these solutions are designed for the separation, and single file placement of raw, bulk meat and poultry. One of the patents applies to the de-nesting of bulk frozen product in both buckhorn style baskets and 70-pound totes, while another patent application applies to the weighing and rejecting of boxed product.

This company’s solutions have been sold in front of equipment from Marel, Scanveagt, Sortaweigh, and others for weighing and sorting. The company has extensive experience in spacing whole birds and front halves in the poultry industries; its infeed systems have been sold in the US, Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Australia, and Japan.

At this time, the company is in the process of expanding its patent portfolio and bringing equipment to market for the separation of split breast and butterflies in the poultry industry, and has recently adapted and installed its equipment in one of the country’s largest red meat processing plants. This firm prides itself on its ability to find simple, mechanical solutions to labor intensive problems. To date, all of this company’s patents have been both approved and marketed.

This business offers a unique opportunity to acquire an established innovator that is ready to embark on a new and explosive phase of growth in the company’s history! It is also well positioned in the recession resistant food sector of the economy, with regional access to an abundant labor force.
