A middle-market metal fabrication business secures a premium sale price with MGO’s strategic financial optimization and transaction support.
Background
A San Diego-based precision manufacturing company specializing in complex components for industries such as aerospace, defense, and medical equipment had been family-run for decades. The founders, proud of the strong reputation for quality and reliability they’d built, decided they were ready to sell the business and secure their legacy.
Challenge
The company initially entered escrow for a $30 million sale in the early 2000s, but the deal collapsed amid a major dip in the global stock market (which eliminated the acquiring company’s ability to finance the acquisition). After going through the entire sale process, the seller was exhausted when the deal collapsed due to external forces and hit pause on any further sales.
