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.

Premium Millwork, Endless Potential
$ 450,000
CF : $ 71,503
Most cabinet shops compete on price. This one competes on pride. In the affluent San Francisco Bay Area, where clients don’t merely renovate but invest in their homes as lasting legacies, an owner-operated millwork shop quietly refuses the cheap liturgy of flat-pack and fast furniture. They build pieces designed to outlast trends—slowly, deliberately, with soul and enduring craftsmanship. Designers and contractors return unprompted, treating the shop as a trusted partner. No installation arm. No contractor’s license. Just focused manufacturing and healthy margins. A five-star reputation earned the old-fashioned way. SF11791 SBA pre-approved, $45,000 down payment The amounts shown as Sales and Cash Flow are for 4 months ending May 2026
