Reference: M001658

Mergers are actively seeking a Niche Precision & Machining Specialist business on behalf of a UK-based Trade Buyer with Private Equity Support. The acquirer is a specialist precision manufacturer, offering subcontracted CNC precision machining and sheet metal engineering services. With established expertise in the aerospace and automotive industries, they bring in highly experienced operating partners to drive growth and long-term value creation. They possess the necessary financial resources, industry knowledge, and commitment to support the expansion of the acquired company.

Industry Focus:

The company is actively seeking to acquire businesses operating in the niche machining sector. The focus will be on manufacturers that provide advanced machining solutions with high-quality output, technical capability, and strong sector knowledge. Companies with complementary services in CNC precision machining or sheet metal engineering will be of particular interest.

Target Market:

Their interest lies in businesses that supply demanding sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and other high-value engineering industries. Target companies should demonstrate a robust reputation for technical expertise, reliable service, and established customer relationships across these markets.

Financial Performance:

The acquirer is specifically seeking businesses with an annual turnover in excess of £5 million. Typically, they evaluate targets with an EBITDA-to-sales ratio below 15%. Turnaround or distressed situations will not be considered, as consistent profitability and financial stability are key. Transparent, reliable financial records will also be essential.

Geographic Location:

The focus is on companies headquartered and operating in the United Kingdom. Businesses with established operations and proximity to key industrial hubs will be particularly attractive.
