Job Shops & Manufacturing Services

by a searcher from Boston University

1 month ago

Has anyone pursued deals in the job shop/ manufacturing services spaces? For example, I have seen a few of the following and would love to connect with those who have experience directly with these types of businesses. Specifically, most of the businesses I have engaged with have been ~1M EBITDA.

 - metal plating, anodizing etc
 - injection molding companies
- polyurethane molding companies

I have sold businesses in injection molding. No two businesses are the same. Happy to share.

I currently own and operate a medical precision machining business focused on complex medical devices. I was institutional PE for ~13 years and acquired the business as an independent sponsor. There are a lot of people with experience in job shops, some in machining, but I haven't seen a ton of medical done via ETA. Happy to connect if you think worthwhile.
