A rare opportunity to acquire two well-established, complementary specialist engineering businesses, offered together as a combined package. Both companies are based in Greater Manchester and are offered for sale due to the owners' retirement.
The first is a specialist metal processing business, established in 1964, operating in a niche market with only one competitor in the UK. It has a broad national customer base across a wide range of engineering sectors, including several blue-chip clients and many long-standing relationships.
The second designs and manufactures specialist benchtop safety cabinets and enclosures for testing environments, including bespoke made-to-order products. Core sales are steady, a newer product range is growing quickly, and the business serves UK and international customers, including several blue-chip clients. It has benefited from recent investment in new machinery and systems.
Combined turnover is circa £1.08m, with strong growth in both sales and profit over the last year. Both businesses are ISO 9001:2015 certified, supported by small, loyal and experienced teams, and relocatable. This makes the package an excellent opportunity for a larger buyer, trade acquirer or group looking to add scale, specialist capability and a wider customer base in a single transaction.
