Established MIL-SPEC Coating & Silkscreening Biz $400k before year end
Business Description
For sale is Hytech Processing, a well-established industrial coating and silkscreening business with over 40 years of proven success in Southern California. Specializing in high-performance MIL-SPEC liquid coatings, powder coatings, precision masking, and silk screening, Hytech has built a stellar reputation for quality, speed, and reliability across multiple industries, including aerospace, defense, medical devices, and general manufacturing.
Hytech’s services include liquid coating applications such as epoxy, polyurethane, CARC, and baking enamels, along with EMI shielding and MIL-SPEC finishes. Powder coating capabilities cover TGIC, polyester, epoxy hybrids, and more. The business also provides phosphate cleaning, metal etching, and silk screening for detailed marking on panels, dials, and chassis—often requiring tight tolerances for proper fit and assembly.
The company operates from a fully equipped, approximately 4,050 sq. ft. facility in Inglewood, CA, near major freeways and LAX. The facility includes permitted paint booths for both wet and powder applications, curing ovens, compressors, and all necessary equipment for high-precision work. All equipment is owned outright—no leases—and the business holds valuable grandfathered SCAQMD permits, along with a completed Phase I Environmental report.
Hytech is a turnkey operation with experienced, long-term staff and established vendor relationships. The business survived two major recessions and the COVID-19 pandemic, proving its resilience and industry niche.
Included in the sale is an extensive list of equipment valued at approximately $207,300, covering everything from paint booths and curing ovens to screening tools and precision masking equipment. Inventory value is estimated at around $25,000, primarily coatings, chemicals, and supplies.
This is an ideal acquisition for an existing coating shop looking to expand capabilities or for an entrepreneur seeking a profitable, niche manufacturing business with high barriers to entry.
The current owner is ready to retire and will remain on board for a transition period, providing full training to ensure operational continuity. This includes hands-on guidance with operations, client management, equipment, and regulatory compliance.
Significant growth opportunities exist for a new owner, including obtaining AS9100 certification to attract additional aerospace and defense work, hiring a dedicated salesperson to expand the customer base, and increasing digital marketing efforts to capture new business.
Real estate is available for purchase separately if desired, presenting an opportunity to own both the business and its centrally located facility.
