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.
Huge upside with more requests for work than the company can currently handle.

In 1995 the company started to pivot to developing and manufacturing its own product line, eventually bringing all manufacturing capabilities in-house. During this time, the firm developed an extensive modular building block of products that have been adapted to various man machine interface systems and sensors. One product developed was sold to a large manufacturing company. The proceeds from that sale were used to develop the current technology and product line and move the company into the military, sub-sea & space, mining, oil & gas, medical & industrial and heavy industrial sectors. Competitive Overview: Both the sensor technology and the man-machine interface technology and controller that have been developed are unique in the industry.

Additionally, the company is the only company in the military space that has a motorized vehicle control and a mounted-dismounted configuration package that was presented to the government and used by the government to develop the manned-unmanned next generation vehicle control requirements. The Universal Operator Control Unit has very limited competition in the robotic space and is uniquely positioned due to its cost, capabilities, and features. This is the only company in the world that has a fully developed and fielded submersible input device product family that includes fully submersible explosion proof joysticks, mice and robotic controls, sensors and miniature switches, man-machine interfaces and position and force sensors. Potential Growth: The company is working on over 20 named programs within Medical & Industrial, Sub- Sea & Space, Military, and Mining, Oil & Gas industries with a forecast of over $90M in revenues with estimated projection of profit more than $40M in gross profit.
