Machine Shop Competition: The machine shop industry is very competitive.

Amid the rapidly expanding demand for machined parts, industry sales were up approximately ~4% in 2022. In fact, the industry has grown ~3.3% per year from 2017 to 2022. Industry figures imply an average size per firm of ~$2.5 million per year. As such, this business is an above-average sized firm.

Further, the industry requires a skilled workforce with unique expertise. The labor market is competitive, and Company has a robust recruiting, training, and retention plan. Additionally, firms must be certified to do certain types of work according to industry or specific standards. Those certifications take time to acquire and must be maintained. Finally, selling channels take years to cultivate and it is difficult for new entrants to offset the goodwill inherent in pre-existing, long-standing relationships.
Support & Training: Seller will train purchaser for 4 weeks included with the purchase price. Seller is willing to provide additional training or remain in a technical sales role for 1-3 years at mutually agreeable compensation.
