A rare lower-middle-market acquisition opportunity: a 75-year-old precision manufacturing and prototyping company with a deeply embedded OEM customer base, owned real estate, a self-sufficient management team, and a clear growth runway — available due to a planned ownership transition.
Founded in the post-war American manufacturing boom, this company has evolved from a specialized pattern and mold shop into one of the Midwest's most technically capable precision manufacturers. Today it operates as a full-lifecycle engineering partner to global OEMs in the medical device, environmental lab, and marine/industrial sectors — delivering mission-critical components shipped around the world.
The business is fully operational and owner-independent. A seasoned four-person management team handles all day-to-day operations, customer relationships, technical quoting, and production scheduling. The current owner is available for up to 90 days post-close for transition support — but the team runs itself.

About the Business

- Employees
- 15 Full-time
The four-person management team independently manages all customer relationships - Facilities & Assets
- The transaction includes an owned ±28,800 SF industrial facility appraised at approximately $3.2M (~$110/PSF). Key attributes:
* 18' clear ceiling height — ideal for large machinery and vertical storage
* 44 surface parking spaces
* Located in a industrial submarket with ~1.5% vacancy — among the tightest in the region
* Strong independent market value regardless of business performance
Financing Advantage: The included real estate enables an SBA 7(a) / SBA 504 hybrid financing structure, allowing a buyer to amortize a portion of the purchase price over 15–25 years. This significantly reduces monthly debt service versus a standard 10-year business loan and improves Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) from day one. - Opportunities for Growth
- A new owner inherits an active pipeline — no strategy-building from scratch required:
* Marine Expansion: Active quoting and relationship development with multiple marine OEMs; inbound interest received post-transition signals strong latent demand for the company's composite capabilities
* Medical Market Growth: Dual positioning with two competing radiotherapy OEMs in a global market projected to grow significantly through the decade
* Military/Defense: Existing OEM relationships and precision capabilities align directly with defense-grade tolerances and reshoring tailwinds
*Hybrid Manufacturing: Integration of additional 3D printing with existing 5-axis CNC creates a hybrid manufacturing hub capable of 35–50% faster iteration cycles for medical and industrial clients
* Capacity Headroom: The facility has demonstrated capacity for significantly higher production volumes; a dedicated sales effort could meaningfully increase throughput without capital expenditure
