Description
The Company has been through several incarnations since the late 1800's and into the1900s when early models of process controllers were invented. This legacy of innovation was nearly lost when the 2004 buyers, a private equity group, failed to implement adequate management and oversight of operations. When purchased and a new LLC established in 2019, the operation was distressed; innovation stalled and engineering on hold.
The current owner, an industry-insider, knew what needed to be done, reduced manpower redundancy, but saved jobs and inspired innovation once again. The value-add potential seen in restructuring; reducing overhead, implementing operational efficiencies and improvements resulted in increased bottom-line profitability and the business' gross margin.
Detailed Information
Facilities: The 7,500 square foot industrial/office space rents for $4,700 per month. The lease extends through May 2024. About half of the space is open warehouse with offices around the perimeter.
Competition: Three large multinational corporations are the most predominate competitors in the market that cannot compete with on price thanks to the greater flexibility in pricing. This flexibility also means the ability to offer more customization options to the customer. Other than lower price points, the Company offers great support & application-based solutions. Excellent support, outstanding products and digital marketing, have helped grow market share in since 2019.
Growth & Expansion: The Company is on track for gaining market share in a variety of categories of controllers, and with the pending release of the new a next-generation controller more opportunities will open.
Additionally, the Company was been awarded a contract for an international nuclear project.
In the future, greater overhauls in various industries will be needed to accommodate greater automations. Many new opportunities that will originate with engineering department. The team will create drawings, and design controller configuration.
Domestic and international oil and gas industry applications are still strong; natural gas pipelines require compression, measuring and refinery stations. There will be more opportunity in renewable energy, as the industry becomes more streamlined.
To ensure long-range goals are reached, the Seller recommends the Buyer focus on making R&D investments, keep new product pipelines growing, and increase spending in the sales & marketing departments.
Financing: TBD if structure and terms are acceptable.
Support & Training: To ensure a smooth transition and ongoing success the Sellers will work with a buyer as needed for three months, and longer as a paid part-time consultant, as negotiated.

Customers value consistent quality, dependable turnaround times, and the efficiency of having tooling and fabrication handled in one operation. These long-term relationships and recurring purchase orders support predictable demand, stable cash flow, and continuity for an incoming owner.

Partner Wanted for Manufacturer of Film Industry Audio & Video Support Equipment
Call/Email
CF : $ 100,000
The company was founded on designing and manufacturing audio and video support equipment for the film industry. I hold 2 patents for location sound equipment. The company was started when a need arose for a new system for film industry sound recordists to house their portable equipment in a more versatile and functional system. Thus, the Rack-N-Bag was designed and patented. This product is respected and seen as the next generation in its field worldwide. This is a very small company because I have not invested the time and energy into building it. My energy has gone into design and manufacturing. I am getting to an age where I do not want to handle any of the sales and expansion needed to continue the development of the company. The company does not have much income now due to my inactivity promoting it. It needs some fresh energy. This presents an opportunity for a motivated person with a very small investment to build their future. The company has a full prototyping shop with a 5 axis mill and a large array of machinery. Almost anything can be made here from machine parts to electronics. I am open to various partner arrangements and possibly its sale. I would like to stay on as a designer/inventor but step a way from the day to day running of the company. I have several new product ideas that would expand and augment the product line. Please send resume. You can see the companies’ products here: https://filmdevices.com/
