Midwest industrial equipment repair manufacturing company
The company is not named and no financial detail is published. What follows is what the owner wanted, what the process ran into, and how it resolved.
What happened
This industrial equipment repair company, which served the steel and paper mill sectors, was listed by a local broker for over four years, but no appropriate offers were made. The shareholders turned to the Accelerated team for help. Our proprietary process looked at valuation drivers not previously considered. This resulted in a higher valuation, and the company sold for more than double the offers previously received.
After vetting hundreds of potential buyers, 3 strategic buyers with multiple holdings were granted plant tours and meetings. Two of the three made offers, and our client had the luxury of choosing whom they wished to sell to. We accomplished in record time what a local broker couldn’t do in 4 years of listing this business. A “local” broker is not always the best choice. It’s about exposure to the best manufacturing business buyers in the U.S.

The NDA and teaser came down at completion of the transaction. What a seller is owed in confidence during a sale, they are owed afterward.
