Project Metal - Texas Custom Metal Fab Shop
Business Description
The Company is a well-established, high-quality metal fabrication and welding business serving a loyal base of commercial, industrial, and residential clients across South Texas. With decades of experience, the Company has built a strong reputation for precision craftsmanship, reliability, and attention to detail—resulting in consistent referrals and repeat business.
Operating from a well-equipped leased facility with multiple work bays and ample space for future expansion, the Company specializes in the custom design, fabrication, and installation of structural and ornamental metalwork. Typical projects include staircases, railings, walkways, dock structures, gates, and other custom components built from steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. Work spans both new construction and retrofit projects, supporting contractors, developers, and industrial customers requiring complex, one-off fabrication solutions.
The business runs lean with a small, experienced team and streamlined overhead structure, enabling strong profitability. The owner oversees project design, scheduling, and quality control, supported by a trusted crew with deep fabrication experience. A buyer with additional management or operational resources could easily expand capacity and capture more of the steady inflow of bid opportunities that the current ownership declines due to bandwidth limitations.
The Company’s reputation is built on exceeding expectations — under-promising and over-delivering. Customers value its craftsmanship, quick turnaround times, and consultative problem-solving approach. Unlike many fabrication shops that rely on volume, this business prioritizes quality, fit, and durability. This approach has positioned it as a trusted partner among contractors and industrial operators who demand precision and accountability.
Growth opportunities are significant. The surrounding region is undergoing rapid industrial and infrastructure expansion, driven by large-scale energy, construction, and manufacturing projects. With additional personnel, marketing investment, or participation in bidding platforms, the Company could capture more commercial contracts and expand into adjacent service lines. The physical site allows for footprint growth to support increased production.
Key highlights include:
* Established market reputation built over 25+ years of continuous operation
* Diversified project mix across commercial, industrial, and select high-end residential clients
* Strong margins supported by premium pricing and efficient operations
* Debt-free, clean financial profile with stable cash flow
* Fully equipped facility capable of handling multiple mid-sized projects concurrently
* Loyal, skilled team willing to remain with new ownership
* Owner available for transition support to ensure smooth handover of relationships and operations
This business is ideally suited for an individual or company with experience in construction, metal fabrication, or related trades seeking to acquire a turnkey operation with an excellent reputation and long-standing customer relationships. It would also make an attractive tuck-in acquisition for a strategic buyer looking to add custom metalwork capabilities or expand geographic coverage in the South Texas region.
With its foundation of quality, trusted relationships, and local goodwill, the Company represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a stable, reputable operation positioned for scalable growth under new ownership.
(Real estate not included but available under a related lease. The owner is retiring and will provide a transition period to support the buyer’s success.)
