Branded and white-label products; Located in LA and Ventura Counties
The Company was founded in 2012 to acquire and grow niche manufacturing businesses in Southern California. The first acquisition was a healthy founder run business with unique metal fabrication capabilities. The company later acquired a CNC machining business with strategic upsides. With locations in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, the combined businesses have serviced long term customers in the automotive aftermarket, defense, and general contract manufacturing spaces throughout the U.S.
The company recently launched a new product that will serve an exclusive contract with a key government vendor. The Company has invested in its team and infrastructure to prepare for the significant growth from this near-term opportunity as well as the organic growth coming from its high-margin, branded D2C business and strong, recurring contract manufacturing business. The company could be relocated, added to an existing business, or remain where it is and continue to grow profitably.
