In 2015, I acquired a niche manufacturer in the battery space and ran it as CEO until we sold it three years ago. I’m now developing an idea for my next business/acquasition, aimed at niche software systems used by manufacturers to track activity on the production floor, and I’d value the perspective of searchers who have run manufacturing businesses themselves. Two requests: If you acquired a manufacturing business, I’d welcome a 20-minute call. Happy to share what I learned operating and exiting mine in return. If you know of a list of manufacturing companies acquired by searchers, or can introduce me to someone who fits, I’d appreciate it. Please message me directly at redacted
