CONFIDENTIAL SALE: AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING & SUPPLIERS,
NORFOLK BASED
A well-established agricultural engineering business offering a comprehensive range of services to the agricultural and wider commercial sectors. The business specialises in machinery sales, servicing, repairs, bespoke machinery design and manufacture, agricultural engineering fabrication, trailer services, parts sales and NSTS sprayer testing, providing customers with a complete engineering solution from a single location.
Serving a loyal and diverse customer base, the business works with farmers, agricultural contractors, estates, local authorities, amenity contractors and commercial organisations across a variety of sectors. Multiple complementary revenue streams, together with strong repeat business from servicing, testing and parts sales, create an attractive opportunity for a purchaser seeking an established engineering operation with further growth potential.
BUSINESS:
The business operates from well-equipped workshop facilities offering in-house design, fabrication, manufacturing, servicing and repair capabilities. Alongside the sale of new and used agricultural machinery, the company undertakes machinery breakdown repairs, refurbishment projects, trailer inspections and repairs, and supplies a comprehensive range of agricultural parts. A significant area of the business is the design and manufacture of bespoke machinery, producing everything from one-off customer projects and machinery modifications through to multiple-unit production runs.
Engineering capabilities include fabrication in mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium, together with welding, machinery rebuilding, prototype manufacture and finishing. The business also provides on-site and workshop-based NSTS testing, sprayer certification and related inspection services, generating valuable recurring work while supporting additional parts and repair income.
The business benefits from an experienced and knowledgeable workforce, with key operational staff intending to remain following a sale, providing continuity for customers and assisting a smooth ownership transition. Its broad customer base extends beyond traditional agriculture into sectors including amenity, public sector and commercial organisations, reducing reliance on any single market and supporting a diverse mix of recurring and project-based work.
PREMISES:
The business operates from leasehold workshop premises configured to support engineering, fabrication, manufacturing, servicing and parts operations. The site provides dedicated workshop facilities together with supporting space for machinery, parts storage and day-to-day business activities.
In addition to the principal workshop, the property includes external yard space and additional buildings. The premises are well suited to the business’s operational requirements while also providing flexibility for a purchaser to review future space utilisation in line with their own business plans. There may also be the option for the business to be relocated if a new owner so wished.
