40 Year Old Wire & Cable Assembly Company for Medical & Defense
Business Description
Imagine stepping into a thriving 40-year legacy in the wire and cable assembly industry. You'll find yourself at the helm of a well-established company that's perfectly positioned in one of today's hottest markets - medical cable assemblies projected to reach $3.8 billion by 2026.
This isn't just another manufacturing business. You're looking at a specialized operation serving critical industries: medical device OEMs, defense contractors, and commercial manufacturers. With 25 dedicated employees and prime Southern California location, you'll have everything needed to hit the ground running.
What makes this opportunity special? The previous owners, a foreign private equity group, invested heavily from 2018 onwards. They've built robust infrastructure, diversified the client base, and weathered the COVID challenges while strengthening operations. Now you can reap the benefits of their groundwork.
Your new company creates custom cable assemblies, lead wires, and cable harnesses - products that are absolutely essential in medical devices, defense systems, and industrial equipment. You'll love the recurring revenue model and the fact that these aren't commodities your customers can easily source elsewhere.
The certifications alone are worth significant value: ISO 13485 for medical compliance and ITAR registration for defense work. These barriers to entry protect your market position and justify premium pricing.
The reported SDE included a $200K GM salary plus bonus, which could be applied to an owner operator driving the net income to over $450K+. If you want to run it stand alone, you're looking at a business that's already structured with professional management. Whether you're an industry veteran looking to expand or an entrepreneur ready to enter a specialized niche, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire four decades of relationships, expertise, and market position.
The timing couldn't be better - medical technology continues expanding, defense spending remains strong, and you'll have the infrastructure to capitalize on both trends.
* In Business since 1983
* $1M in tooling & Equipment
* Highly experienced and efficient manufacturing team, with unique molding and assembly expertise
* Loyal repeat OEM customers, many with 15+ years history with the company. Adding new OEM accounts each year for growth
* Significant growth potential in the Medical and Defense industries as OEMs accelerate on-shoring of manufacturing
