Rare opportunity to acquire a well-established commercial and industrial radiator, cooler, and fuel tank repair business built from the ground up over roughly 15 years by the same family. Rather than competing in the passenger-vehicle radiator replacement market, this shop was deliberately positioned to serve heavy truck fleets (Peterbilt, Mack, Freightliner), construction and earthmoving equipment, hydraulic and oil coolers, and large industrial coolers for natural gas compression equipment — plus a strong niche in aluminum fuel tank repair and cleaning.

The business draws customers from over 100 miles away in every direction, including a large, fast-growing metro region roughly an hour away that management says has no comparable radiator shop, and an oil field/natural gas corridor across the state line with the same gap in coverage. The customer base includes construction and CAT-dealer-affiliated accounts, a major regional equipment rental company, a regional steel producer, municipal accounts, and long-tenured natural gas industry customers — all repeat, reputation-driven relationships built over the life of the business.

The shop carries minimal finished-goods inventory thanks to a reliable next-day parts delivery relationship, keeping working capital needs low. A full set of specialized fabrication equipment — TIG and MIG welding, a Bridgeport mill, a dedicated underwater pressure-test system, metal shear and brake, and two forklifts — supports both repair work and custom fabrication. The business owns its 8,600 sq. ft. operating facility (situated directly on a designated truck route through town) and is open to including real estate in a sale, which can support more favorable long-term financing for a qualified buyer.
