This established Panamanian pool manufacturing and installation company is running ahead of capacity—with demand so strong the business is currently quoting ~6 months out for new projects. The market is there, the brand is proven, and the pipeline is real. What’s missing is simply additional operating horsepower to turn backlog into faster production and higher throughput.

The current owner (60+) has built an excellent platform, but growth has outpaced bandwidth—creating a deep, durable backlog and a clear “next chapter” opportunity for a buyer ready to operate at a larger scale. With the right leadership and resources, this is a straightforward expansion story: add labor, add systems, expand production, increase WIP output, and convert demand into revenue faster.

The ideal buyer brings a finance, operations, or manufacturing mindset—someone who can professionalize processes, tighten scheduling, and scale teams while maintaining quality and customer experience. This can be an owner-operator play, or an operator backed by an investor.

Flexible deal + transition support: the seller is open to a 100% sale, but is also happy to remain involved as a growth partner if that better supports scale. Depending on the buyer’s preference, the seller can stay on as a partner, or as a consultant/advisor focused on sales guidance, vendor relationships, and operational continuity—structured with clear responsibilities and a defined transition plan.

Transition is supported: the seller is willing to remain involved to assist, guide, and support sales/operations in the capacity the buyer needs. In addition, the business already has a trained General Manager who can run day-to-day execution—providing stability from day one while the buyer focuses on scaling.

While Panama is a Spanish country—many people do speak english for operations, You don’t need to be fluent to succeed here. There are roughly ~200 industry-specific terms you’ll use repeatedly, and during the training/transition period ~90+ become second nature quickly through daily repetition—especially with a team that’s used to working with owners and managers at different language levels.

Panama has a large expat community and is widely viewed as business- and investor-friendly. Many owners pursue Panama specifically for potential tax and structuring advantages (verify with your tax advisors).

U.S.-friendly operating environment: Panama is U.S.-dollar based (transactions are typically in USD), which reduces currency friction for U.S. buyers. The country also has a well-established international banking ecosystem and longstanding commercial ties with the U.S., which many buyers find familiar and workable.
