Business Overview:
Exceptional opportunity to acquire a high‑barrier, certification‑driven aerospace machining company with more than five decades of continuous operation. This AS9100‑certified CNC shop produces tight‑tolerance components for major aerospace OEMs and tiered suppliers, with deep expertise in complex geometries and heat‑treated superalloys (Inconel, titanium, nickel‑based materials).
The company benefits from long‑standing customer relationships, strong supplier scorecards, and a multi‑year contract featuring automatic annual price increases through 2028, providing built‑in margin expansion. Operations run from a 12,000 sq. ft. facility in Rockford, IL—one of the nation’s most concentrated aerospace manufacturing hubs.
A well‑maintained fleet of 33 CNC and metrology assets valued at $1.65MM (no liens) supports high‑precision, repeatable production. The owner works ~30 hours/week and is retiring, offering a smooth transition.
