- Facilities & Assets
- Currently operates out of a 10,000 sf facility but all operations could fit into a 5,000 sf footprint. Buyer can elect to operate out of the current location or relocate at a seller estimated cost of $40,000. Sale includes all equipment and an estimated $70,000 in inventory.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The market for engineered plastics, particularly UHMW-PE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene), is strong and expanding across multiple industrial sectors. UHMW-PE’s unique combination of impact strength and wear resistance makes it ideal for components such as liners, bearings, bushings, and conveyor parts.
Companies that combine in-house design, automation, and proprietary tooling maintain a distinct advantage by offering faster lead times, greater precision, and value-added assemblies. - Opportunities for Growth
- Ideal for a strategic or financial buyer seeking a scalable platform in engineered plastics. With automation, patented products, and proven UHMW-PE expertise, the business is well-positioned for expansion into new markets, higher-margin assemblies, and OEM supply opportunities.
