Tier 1 Defense Manufacturer, 30+ Years – Real Estate Available

Business Overview:

Rare opportunity to acquire a highly profitable precision manufacturing and fabrication company with more than 25 years of continuous production history serving a major global defense prime contractor.

The Company manufactures more than 1,000 components and assemblies for land-based defense platforms and provides integrated manufacturing capabilities including laser cutting, CNC machining, forming, welding, assembly, and specialized military-grade coating.

Decades of production history, tooling, CAD files, fixtures, quality documentation, first-article approvals, and established manufacturing processes create significant barriers to entry and provide an incoming buyer with an established platform in the U.S. defense manufacturing supply chain.

The Company generated approximately $2.64 million of Adjusted EBITDA on $9.37 million of revenue for the trailing twelve months through July 2026.

Recently Reduced Asking Price

The asking price has recently been reduced from $13.9 million.

The revised pricing reflects the seller's decision to proactively address two primary transaction considerations:

Significant revenue concentration with the Company's principal defense customer; and
The potential change in the Company's minority-owned status following a sale.

Importantly, the price reduction is not the result of declining operating performance.

The Company continues to demonstrate strong profitability, substantial backlog, significant customer demand, and additional opportunities across both existing and next-generation defense programs.

To further align buyer and seller interests, the seller is also prepared to structure a portion of the consideration as a growth-based earnout.

The contemplated earnout would provide the seller with approximately 9% of annual gross revenue generated above the Company's current trailing-twelve-month revenue baseline of approximately $9.37 million, for a period +/-5 years, subject to final transaction terms and definitive agreements.

Accordingly, the seller participates only in incremental revenue growth above the current revenue base, allowing the buyer to benefit from the Company's existing earnings while sharing a limited portion of future growth with the seller.
