Thinking About Selling Your Manufacturing Business?
Are you considering selling your manufacturing business? At CGK Business Sales, we specialize in helping owners of profitable manufacturing companies confidentially exit their businesses for maximum value. With a 90% close rate and a vast network of financially qualified, strategic, and private equity buyers, we understand the nuances of selling in this complex industry — from operations and logistics to supply chains and capital equipment. Let us help you take the next step.
We work exclusively with companies generating $1.5 million+ in annual revenue and $300,000+ in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) or Owner's Profit.
Why Work With CGK to Sell Your Manufacturing Business?
We understand what makes your business valuable.
From precision machining and metal fabrication to custom plastics, electronics, and food or beverage production, manufacturing companies require specialized knowledge to market and sell successfully. We analyze your company’s financials, competitive positioning, and growth potential to find the right buyer — not just any buyer.
We bring qualified buyers.
Our team has access to a broad database of strategic acquirers, private equity groups, and individual investors looking specifically for manufacturing companies. These buyers are pre-qualified and serious.
We ensure confidentiality.
We know how important it is to maintain discretion — with employees, customers, and suppliers. Our proven process protects your identity until buyers are properly vetted and NDAs are in place.
We maximize value.
We use a proven, data-driven process to negotiate the best possible terms for your business. In most cases, you’ll receive multiple offers — giving you leverage and options.
