Established Central Texas Production Machine Shop | OEM Parts | Strong Team & Growth Potential

**$1M in Equipment/Inventory/Assets**

Business Overview: 

A long-standing Central Texas production machine shop is available for acquisition. The company specializes in custom machining services for OEM manufacturers across multiple industrial sectors. With roots dating back to the late 1970s, the business has built decades of reputation and long-term relationships with regional manufacturers requiring consistent, repeat production work.

The company operates as a full-service CNC machining and fabrication provider, producing components from a range of materials including aluminum, steel, stainless steel, brass, and plastics. Core capabilities include CNC milling, CNC turning, drilling, tapping, manual machining, and assembly, along with coordination of secondary services such as plating, anodizing, powder coating, painting, and heat treating through trusted vendors.

Work is primarily production machining for OEM customers, with an emphasis on medium-to-high volume runs of precision components. A significant portion of work involves machining castings and producing small precision parts commonly used in hydraulic equipment and industrial manufacturing applications. This specialization provides a niche capability that many general job shops avoid due to the complexity of working with cast components.

Operations are supported by a modern mix of CNC equipment including multi-axis machining centers and CNC turning centers with bar feed automation, allowing efficient production of repeat components with minimal supervision. The shop’s automation capabilities allow a single operator to oversee multiple machines simultaneously, supporting cost-efficient manufacturing and strong production throughput.

The business maintains a stable and experienced workforce, with several employees having been with the company for decades. Day-to-day operations are largely handled by the production team, including a plant-level manager responsible for quoting, scheduling, and customer communication. This structure allows a new owner to focus primarily on leadership, growth strategy, and customer development rather than operating machinery directly.

The company serves customers throughout Central Texas and surrounding markets, including the Temple, Waco, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio regions. The majority of revenue is generated from repeat customers placing recurring purchase orders, reflecting the shop’s established relationships and reliable delivery performance.

Facilities include approximately 15,000 square feet of manufacturing, warehouse, and office space, providing room for continued operational growth without immediate expansion requirements. The property may be available for purchase with the business or leased depending on buyer preference.

Growth opportunities exist through relatively straightforward strategic initiatives. Historically the company has relied almost entirely on word-of-mouth referrals and repeat business with minimal formal marketing. A buyer who implements structured sales outreach, digital marketing, or manufacturer representation relationships could significantly expand the customer base and production backlog. Additionally, the shop’s existing capabilities position it well to re-capture work returning to domestic manufacturing as supply chains shift away from overseas production.

Ownership is seeking a transition as the majority owner approaches retirement. The seller is willing to provide transitional support to ensure continuity with customers, systems, and production processes. Certain key personnel, including minority ownership and experienced shop staff, are expected to remain in place post-transaction, helping preserve operational stability.

This opportunity is well suited for:

  • An existing machining or fabrication company seeking geographic expansion in Texas

  • A strategic buyer looking to add production capacity and skilled staff

  • An entrepreneur or operator interested in acquiring a manufacturing platform with an established customer base and operational team

Additional information, including financials, equipment lists, and customer concentration details, will be provided to qualified buyers under NDA.

Frequently Asked Questions ​

  • What are the next steps in terms of advisory & process

    Your next step is simple: sign an NDA to unlock confidential details and begin your buyer journey. Fill out the NDA Request form or contact your advisor to receive the NDA and personalized guidance through every stage of the process.

  • What Does “Open” Mean in Our Listings?

    When you see “Open*” as the asking price on a listing, it means we have not set a specific list price for that business. Instead, our team has thoroughly reviewed current market value ranges with the seller and, in most cases, completed a “pre-flight” with one or more lenders.   Sellers have a clear expectation of value, but “Open” signals their willingness to review and consider all reasonable offers. We encourage buyers to conduct their own market research and submit offers. This approach fosters flexibility and creates opportunities for buyers and sellers to find the best fit.

  • What information is required to receive full details?

    To access the full details of this opportunity, we require basic information about your buyer criteria and a signed non-disclosure agreement (NDA). Please review our NDA form for specifics, but in short, providing your acquisition interests and completing the NDA are the key steps.

  • How is confidentiality maintained?

    Confidentiality is a top priority throughout our process. We do not sell or share your information with third parties. For more details on how we protect your privacy, please see our privacy policy.

  • What is the typical timeline for a transaction?

    For most buyers, the typical timeline to close a transaction is 30 to 90 days after an offer has been accepted. This period includes due diligence, financing arrangements, and finalizing the purchase agreement.
