Well established Precision Engineering business for sale

Please quote reference B06112

Hilton Smythe is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established and busy precision engineering business.

Aims Engineering was established by our client in 1981 and is only now being offered to the market due to our client’s desire for a well-deserved retirement.

The precision engineering business provides a high-quality sub-contract machining service, supplying top quality products. The business has the flexibility to machine intricate components, either turned or milled.

The business offers an increasing range of services including CNC turning, CNC milling, conventional turning, conventional milling and drilling/tapping, to name a few.

The business primarily provides milling and turning services with some grinding and boring however a significant amount of our turnover is derived from the sale of assemblies or sub-contracted parts. We have developed a large and varied customer base of reliable suppliers so that we can be a one-stop-shop for most bespoke precision engineered parts irrespective of our own capacity. We meet the needs of clients on a batch order as well as on a just in time basis. We supply one off proto-types and non-standard parts as well as small and medium batch sizes. Our brand represents a personalised, accurate, reliable and cost-effective precision engineering solution.

The business has built up an enviable reputation within the area for the high quality of the goods and services offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a high volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations.

We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by extending the opening hours, perhaps by operating on Saturdays. A new owner could embark on a robust marketing campaign to promote the services offered and generate new clients. There is also the possibility to introduce a website to promote the services offered by the business.

This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this well-established family run business to the next level, it would also be an excellent bolt-on to an existing business wishing to expand therefore, early viewing are highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

The business is managed and ran by our clients.
