Buy & Scale: Stable Manufacturing Business with Expansion Upside
Business Description
28-person team, 50% capacity – asset-rich and built to scale
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a U.S.-based precision plastics manufacturer located near Fort Smith, Arkansas — featuring high-capacity equipment, a stable 28-person workforce, and an asset-rich balance sheet with minimal goodwill.
The company specializes in 24/7 custom injection molding and insert molding, supported by proprietary tooling, in-house assembly, and decades of operational expertise — which has resulted in strong recurring orders and consistent, sustainable operations. Assets include Haitian-brand machines (up to 600-ton capacity), as well as other presses and tooling, compressors, chillers, forklifts, and other essential infrastructure. A full list of equipment is available upon request or via the company website.
The facility is optimized for three-shift operations and is currently staffed accordingly. The team includes trained operators, admin support, and leadership personnel capable of continuing day-to-day operations without ownership involvement.
Unlike many shops of its size, this business is currently operating at only ~50% of its production capacity — not due to a lack of demand, but because the owner has chosen not to actively pursue growth while nearing retirement. In fact, jobs have been turned away. A healthy production run rate would be closer to 85%, which would allow the next owner to significantly increase cash flow without the need for additional capital expenditure.
The business has already been pre-qualified for a $5 million government-backed loan, validating both its financial strength and scalability. The owner previously explored this financing path in preparation for expansion but ultimately chose to retire for personal reasons — creating an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take the next step without starting from scratch.
The seller is offering full training and transition support. Included in the sale is a proprietary AI-powered “Owner Knowledge Chatbot” that allows the new owner to ask operational questions and retrieve best practices from years of experience — a unique, built-in SOP system that reduces risk during the handoff period. Optional consulting is available, and the seller may also consider staying on part-time in a sales or relationship-management role if desired.
Approximately 70% of the purchase price is backed by tangible assets — making this one of the most secure, capital-efficient manufacturing acquisition opportunities in the region. With a well-trained staff in place, proprietary tooling, and significant excess production capacity, this business is well-positioned for growth.
The business does not require full-time, on-site ownership. While a hands-on operator could accelerate growth quickly, strategic oversight and part-time involvement may be sufficient with strong management in place. This opportunity is ideal for a first-time buyer with operations or sales experience, an investor seeking passive income with asset backing, or a strategic buyer looking for bolt-on production in a favorable U.S. logistics hub.
