Selling Your Precision Machining or Aerospace Manufacturing Firm
In the world of high-stakes industrial production, success is measured in microns, throughput, and the strength of your Tier 1 supply chain relationships. When it comes time to transition your legacy, you shouldn't trust a generalist to value a life’s work built on ISO certifications and proprietary engineering processes.
Selling a manufacturing business requires more than just a listing; it requires a deep understanding of capital equipment lifecycles and the specialized nature of contract manufacturing.
The Strategic Value of a Specialized Manufacturing Broker
A specialized M&A advisor acts as the lead engineer for your transaction. At The Precision Firm, we don't just look at EBITDA; we look at your machine utilization, the density of your backlog, and your standing within the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) standards.
Why Specialist Expertise Dictates Your Exit Price

Operational Audits: We evaluate your throughput and shop-floor efficiency to present a "turn-key" narrative to strategic acquirers.
Quality of Backlog: We don't just see revenue; we see the long-term stability of your defense or medical device contracts.
