Manufacturing Valuations That Look Beyond the Balance Sheet
Traditional valuation methods fail to capture the true value of manufacturing companies. Our manufacturing valuation experts understand the industry's nuances and provide insights that generalists usually overlook.
Accelerated valuation methods are proven by over 30 years of transaction history where manufacturing companies have sold or gained investment at or above our valuation.
Looking at the whole picture makes all the difference
With the AMB team, it’s never about telling you what you want to hear; it’s about considering the complete picture to arrive at the true value.
Here are some factors that can alter the valuation of a manufacturing company that traditional valuation methods never consider:
- Industry Certifications
- The difficulty (tolerances) of the products or components being made
- The length and strength of your customer relationships
- Quality and age of your equipment
- Technology implementation, including an ERP system or robotics & automation
Our expert team looks at drivers of value that can’t be seen in the financials or captured in traditional valuation methods.
Manufacturer of Military Aircraft landing Gear
A manufacturer of military aircraft landing gear components in the Northeast came to us after having their business appraised by three other companies. Our valuation was 20% higher than the next highest. Our valuation was different because it considered the difficulty of what the company was manufacturing, and the tolerances they were working to. The result: Within three months, the company attracted multiple acquisition offers and was under contract for more than our valuation.
Manufacturer of sand handling equipment
A Midwest-based manufacturer of sand handling equipment for the foundry industry came to us after having their business appraised by a prominent CPA firm. Our valuation was 25% higher and the business sold in line with ours.
Industrial Equipment Repair company
An industrial equipment repair company serving the steel and paper mill sectors was listed for over four years, and no appropriate offers were made. They came to the AMB team for help. After our valuation, the company sold for more than double prior offers.
A partnership dispute led to the need for an accurate and complete valuation by a specialist
Walter Camp's fabrication company appraised higher than he and his partner thought it would. They successfully sold.
Manufacturers just like you have relied on us for 30+ years for specialized valuations
"I went to four other companies over a year's time before coming to Accelerated... you provided reasoning for your valuation, and ultimately we had four solid LOIs to choose from, and my company was successfully sold."
Don Mitchell, specialty tooling and wire EDM manufacturer
“EASY FIVE STARS. The Accelerated team has developed an effective process... In our case, interest from multiple buyers allows us to focus on best-fit for the future of our company and dedicated employees while meeting financial objectives. Our deal closed on a short timetable with sellers and buyers feeling equally satisfied. I highly recommend Accelerated Manufacturing Brokers.”
Frank O’Connor, CNC & robotic machined component manufacturer
“I just wanted to say thank you again. Cathy and I are truly appreciative of all your team’s effort and diligence throughout the process... we received six offers. I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. We wish you guys the best.”
Curt Prystupa, fiberglass products manufacturer
“I wanted to send you a thank note for, well, everything. But most importantly, thank you Fran and the team for getting this done. I loved working with everyone. I’m sure you know how much this meant to me and Jeff. Twenty years of hard work, but all worth it at the end of the day. We should be able to enjoy retirement with no financial worries.”
Rick Stathers, aerospace component manufacturer
