Established in West Michigan over a decade ago, this Company assists businesses throughout the region in the development and manufacturing of fabricated metal solutions, machined parts, and assemblies. The sellers, who typically work thirty to thirty-five hours per week, refer to the Company as a “Money Making Machine” and rightfully so. However, instead of simply pulling money out of the business, they have re-invested in equipment and expansion to help ensure the Company’s long-term success.
While the Company specializes in sheet metal fabrication, its wide array of internal equipment and capabilities enable it to solve numerous and complex manufacturing challenges for its large and ever-growing customer base. These customers include manufacturers in the furniture, industrial technologies, lighting, and OEM industries.
This is a very profitable and stable business, with diversified and long-standing customers and loyal, reliable employees. Both characteristics are the direct result of the Company’s unwavering commitment to ethical behavior and excellence.
The sellers have reached retirement age, but are open to staying on with the Company post-transaction to assist with the transfer of knowledge and relationships.
- This is a very profitable and stable business, with diversified and long-standing customers and loyal, reliable employees.

Growth Opportunities
Invest in Turret Press
Acquiring a turret press (low-cost metal punching instead of laser cutting) would help the Company go after some “cost sensitive” customers. The facility could be expanded to accommodate such a piece of equipment.
Pursue Additional Complex Work
Go after more business that involves not only sheet metal fab but also machined parts to be assembled/welded. This business is very profitable because not many fabricators in the area can do it in a timely manner with a sufficient level of quality.
Custom One-off Projects
Local furniture companies outsource their work for trade show booths and prototype development. With the addition of the right person, this could become a nice opportunity/niche for growth.
