Description
Established more than three decades ago, this Southern California manufacturer is a trusted Tier 1 supplier to a major prime defense contractor, producing precision components and assemblies for critical armored vehicle programs with long-standing government funding.
The company operates from a 23,000 sq. ft. fully integrated facility, offering laser cutting, CNC machining, forming, welding, and CARC (Chemical Agent Resistant Coating) painting. This vertical integration enables superior control over timelines and quality, and allows the business to handle urgent orders competitors cannot accommodate.
The workforce of approximately 35 employees includes a long-tenured management team with deep institutional knowledge, ensuring operations are not owner-dependent. Almost all of the production consists of repeat orders tied to ongoing defense programs.
Financial Highlights (rounded):
Revenue: ~$13M (2024)
Adjusted EBITDA: ~$2.5M–$3.0M
Consistent backlog of work with additional orders available from existing customer
Key Investment Considerations:
Established Tier 1 supplier status — very difficult for new entrants to obtain
Facility ownership available; real estate can be included with the transaction
Strong repeat business with stable government-backed funding
Growth opportunities by accepting additional orders, diversifying into other defense contractors, or re-entering aerospace components
Reason for Sale: Ownership is preparing for retirement and will provide transition support to ensure continuity.

Pharmaceutical Company - Targeting Drug Delivery
$ 20,000,000
Patented Universal Tumor-Targeting Drug Delivery Platform Co. This pharmaceutical company has developed and patented a universal tumor-targeting drug-delivery platform that can improve the safety and efficacy of many existing chemo treatments, with the ability to target numerous different types of cancer. The technology encapsulates existing FDA-approved drugs inside lipid nanoparticles (liposomes or emulsions) coated with patented human-sourced antinuclear antibodies (ANA). The lipid nanoparticle provides long-term storage stability of the drug and controlled release of the drug over time at body-temperature, and is expected to improve the safety and efficacy profile of the drug, including passive accumulation at the tumor while not harming normal tissues. The Company's ANA, sourced from lupus patients, binds to nuclear material present in abundance in areas of necrosis (dead / ruptured cells) present in and around all solid tumors, thus anchoring the drug-filled nanoparticles at the tumor where the nanoparticle is designed to slowly release the drug directly on the tumor for more effect. As the Company's ANA is not tumor-marker specific, but rather targets necrosis present in solid tumors, the technology is designed to "universally" target many different types of cancer including breast cancer, lung, ovarian, colon, prostate, etc., as well as rare childhood cancers. The Company completed a successful proof-of-concept study at Children's Hospital using Ewing's Sarcoma transplanted in immunodeficient mice. Treatment with the Company's forumlation significantly inhibited tumor growth and extended survival times compared to control mice receiving no treatment or treatment with plain liposomal doxorubicin. The Company has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA on 2 of the lead drug formulations, providing FDA fee waivers, priority review, and 7-years exclusivity upon market approval. The orphan pathway also enables the potential for New Drug Approval after successful completion of Phase 2 studies, with Phase III data collected while in the market, thus significantly lowering the time and cost to market approval. This same drug inside the Company's tumor targeting delivery system will likely have potential to treat other pediatric cancers, and/or cancers in larger adult populations. As the Company's platform and ANA has the potential to improve the safety and efficacy of many existing FDA approved drugs or even compounds in development, the Company anticipates the potential for multiple licensing agreements with multiple pharmaceutical companies seeking to improve their existing portfolio and extend patient life as they advance into clinical stage. And as it may be possible to file for New Drug Approval following successful Phase II studies, the Company anticipates licensing potential at early clinical stage. Multiple exit opportunities exist with high impact & high ROI. The Company is seeking a supportive capital partner to maintain momentum up to $20M. Funding will be used to advance the lead drug through formal Investigational New Drug enabling studies towards New Drug Approval; estimating $3-5 Million now to advance into clinical studies. Preclinical / animal studies estimate ($3 - 5 Million and 12-18 months); follwed by potential combined Phase I-II clinical study in a rare cancer (approximately 2-3 years and $10M) to potential New Drug Approval, plus additional capital to advance additional drugs in the pipeline simultaneously, thus adding tremendous value to the Company's valuation. Valuations of pharma companies often exceed $100 Million valuation at Phase I (approx. 18 months), and New Drug Approval can exceed valuations above $1 Billion. The Company has numerous, improved high-impact cancer drugs advancing with proper support. NDA is required for comprehensive Confidential Information Memorandum crafted by ProNova Partners. Detailed Information Competition: Trying to improve existing therapies and develop novel approaches to hard to treat cancers. Growth & Expansion: Huge market potential. Financing: If the price and deal structure is right. Support & Training: Transition team included. Reason for Selling: Seeking supportive capital partners to take to the next level(s). .

40 Year Old Wire & Cable Assembly Company for Medical & Defense
$ 3,850,000
CF : $ 238,528
Imagine stepping into a thriving 40-year legacy in the wire and cable assembly industry. You'll find yourself at the helm of a well-established company that's perfectly positioned in one of today's hottest markets - medical cable assemblies projected to reach $3.8 billion by 2026. This isn't just another manufacturing business. You're looking at a specialized operation serving critical industries: medical device OEMs, defense contractors, and commercial manufacturers. With 25 dedicated employees and prime Southern California location, you'll have everything needed to hit the ground running. What makes this opportunity special? The previous owners, a foreign private equity group, invested heavily from 2018 onwards. They've built robust infrastructure, diversified the client base, and weathered the COVID challenges while strengthening operations. Now you can reap the benefits of their groundwork. Your new company creates custom cable assemblies, lead wires, and cable harnesses - products that are absolutely essential in medical devices, defense systems, and industrial equipment. You'll love the recurring revenue model and the fact that these aren't commodities your customers can easily source elsewhere. The certifications alone are worth significant value: ISO 13485 for medical compliance and ITAR registration for defense work. These barriers to entry protect your market position and justify premium pricing. The reported SDE included a $200K GM salary plus bonus, which could be applied to an owner operator driving the net income to over $450K+. If you want to run it stand alone, you're looking at a business that's already structured with professional management. Whether you're an industry veteran looking to expand or an entrepreneur ready to enter a specialized niche, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire four decades of relationships, expertise, and market position. The timing couldn't be better - medical technology continues expanding, defense spending remains strong, and you'll have the infrastructure to capitalize on both trends. * In Business since 1983 * $1M in tooling & Equipment * Highly experienced and efficient manufacturing team, with unique molding and assembly expertise * Loyal repeat OEM customers, many with 15+ years history with the company. Adding new OEM accounts each year for growth * Significant growth potential in the Medical and Defense industries as OEMs accelerate on-shoring of manufacturing
