Facilities: The business is located on a 1 acre parcel of land with two facilities:
(1) Sales/Administration Office: 3 offices and 1 bathroom accommodating up to 5 people.
(2) Shop/Manufacturing Facility: 4,000sqft.

This property is available for lease at $1,600per month + utilities or available for purchase. Additionally, the seller owns commercial property in the area (also for sale) that would be ideal for the construction of a box girder manufacturing facility.

The company is located in the Southeast region, a natural location for either a corporate headquarters or a regional office, thanks to the central location, pro-business mindset, and “right-to-work-state” status. There is a network of highways that run through the area that make it a natural distribution center, not to mention the excellent labor force, good weather, great entertainment options, and low taxes.

Major industries are settling in the region, and their suppliers, vendors and competitors aren’t far behind. With massive new billion-dollar developments recently implemented, the area has become an international hotspot for global industry. And as these major concerns set up shop here, they are providing launching pads for feeder companies, research facilities and much, much more.

Summary

Business Description: The company has over 20 years experience providing overhead handling solutions to customers in a wide range of industries. The business Designs, Engineers, Builds & Installs turnkey overhead crane systems involving a variety of sizes up to 15 Ton in house with larger capacity cranes being constructed through partners. The business is also a major distributor to several hoist/crane manufacturers specializing in industrial facilities, water treatment plants, & pump stations.

The crane industry plays a critical role in a large number of industries involving material handling. The company provides solutions to enable its customers to have the maximum efficiency, uptime, and highest life cycle value for all material handling products. While the geographic focus has been on the Southeast region, the company has successful implementations throughout the continental United States.
Historical Summary: The company was founded in 1991 and has established a highly regarded reputation as a first class designer and manufacturer of Overhead Crane solutions. The company has remained small due to the nature of being a family run business. With additional resources and personnel, there is tremendous opportunity to scale this business.
Owner Qualifications: An engineering or manufacturing background is not a prerequisite to be a successful operator of this company. The seller is available to fully train the new owner in all facets of the operation as well as provide considerable assistance in the transition of the business. Additionally, the seller is able to assist the new owner in implementing any number of the growth initiatives outlined.

Seller would recommend staying on board, post-sale, under a 1-2 year consulting agreement on mutually acceptable terms.
Competition: The business has limited competition in the area and tremendous upside potential.
Potential Growth: The business has many options available for expansion & growth:

Outside Sales Position:
The addition of an outside person to call on A&E firms to assist in writing the specifications for Overhead Cranes projects would be a recommended strategy to expand both sales & income.

Service Department:
Incorporating a service department for inspections and maintenance to the operation would be an inexpensive and easily accomplished task to add another stream of income to the business. These opportunities are currently being referred out and could easily be brought back in-house.

Dealer Sales Network:
Revenue can be increased through the establishment of a dealer sales network within the material handing industry for the resale of overhead crane turn-key solutions.

Box Girders:
Expanding in the manufacturing of box girders would be a logical growth strategy given the limited competition in the areas served by the business. The founder owns commercial property, also for sale, that would be a logical area for developing such a plant.
