Business Description
Rare Northeast shop with $2M+ in equipment, 130+ loyal accounts & 3–4 day turnaround. Priced to move while performing strong.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a nearly five-decade-old precision metal fabrication business operating at the heart of one of the Northeast's most active industrial corridors. Built from the ground up since the late 1970s, this company has grown from a modest startup into one of the region's most capable and respected custom fabrication shops — generating millions in annual revenue while maintaining gross margins consistently between 76% and 79% over the past three years.

What sets this business apart isn't just its longevity, it's the operational depth. Unlike competitors who outsource key processes, this shop performs every step of fabrication under one roof: laser cutting, CNC press braking, rolling and forming, structural welding, in-house powder coating, and same-fleet delivery. When a customer submits a drawing, they receive a finished, powder-coated assembly on a single purchase order, no vendor coordination, no delays. While regional competitors regularly quote two-to-four-week lead times, this operation routinely delivers complete fabricated assemblies in three to four business days. That speed advantage isn't accidental — it's the result of redundant equipment, a disciplined workflow system, and a long-tenured workforce that knows how to execute.

The customer base spans 130+ active accounts across industrial OEM, energy infrastructure, transportation/railroad, construction, and government sectors. These relationships are sticky: competitors with full access to the customer list have failed to peel them away. The business generates consistent inbound quote requests through its website with essentially zero paid marketing — a testament to a long-standing reputation that money can't easily replicate.

The facility is owned and included in the asking price — a ~30,000-square-foot industrial building with updated infrastructure, currently operating on a single shift. That single-shift model is not a ceiling — it's an opportunity. The equipment is rated for 24-hour utilization, and a second shift alone could materially increase throughput with minimal additional fixed overhead.

Ownership is pursuing a planned, proactive transition — not a distressed sale. The founding generation is retiring after nearly five decades of active management, and the family is committed to a multi-month knowledge transfer to ensure the business lands in strong hands. This is a business being sold at the top of its form, with five identified growth levers ready for a capable new owner to pull.

Whether you're a strategic acquirer seeking Northeast fabrication capacity, a private equity platform building a precision manufacturing portfolio, or an experienced operator ready to step into a proven, profitable business, this opportunity deserves a serious look. Sign the NDA and discover why this shop has outlasted every competitor that has tried to take its customers.

Facilities & Assets
The business operates from a ~30,000 sq/ft owned industrial facility. Approximately 27,000 sq/ft of production space plus 2,000 sq/ft of office. Included in the asking price. The building features a new roof, LED lighting, infrared gas heat, smooth concrete floors, mezzanine storage, and a dedicated sandblast/primer room. Equipment exceeds $2M in value and includes dual fiber laser cutting systems, four CNC press brakes, a full welding fleet, in-house powder coating system, material handling equipment, and two owned delivery trucks. All FFE is debt-free.
Market Outlook / Competition
Custom metal fabrication is a $50B+ U.S. industry serving energy, transportation, construction, defense, and industrial markets. This business occupies a defensible niche: rapid-turnaround custom work that large production-oriented fabricators can't serve economically. Primary regional competitor, a $50M+ operation, carries 2-to-8-week lead times due to military contract obligations - creating a structural opening this company exploits daily. Barriers to entry are high.
Opportunities for Growth
Five concrete growth levers await a new owner:
(1) Add a dedicated outside sales rep; the entire revenue base was built without one.
(2) Launch a second production shift; equipment is rated for 24-hour operation with no new capital required.
(3) Add CNC machining capability to capture work currently being referred out.
(4) Expand geographic reach into adjacent Northeast markets currently underserved.
(5) Invest modestly in digital marketing and SEO to increase inbound RFQ volume.

About the Sale
Seller Motivation
Ownership is pursuing a planned, proactive transition.
Transition Support
Ownership is committed to a structured, multi-phase transition. The lead operator — responsible for the majority of quoting and the margin-driving pricing methodology — will remain up to 12 months post-close to fully document and transfer his proprietary estimating process. The production manager will stay 3–6 months to transfer shop floor and logistics knowledge.
