(Sold) Custom Fabricator of Industrial Safety Products

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:22:53 -0700

Summary Description

The Company is a leading manufacturer of safety products for radiological environments. Its lead shielding, protective clothing and containment products enjoy wide distribution in nuclear power plants, hazardous waste clean up sites, and Navy shipyards. With a 34 year history, the Company enjoys near-universal penetration in the North American nuclear power plant market and is a major supplier to DOE lab facilities. Fabrication is done on a make-to-order basis to exacting nuclear quality control specifications. This highly customized product set, and the often critical customer need for its products, have helped the Company drive strong margins.

General Information

Facilities:

The Company currently leases 12,000 sq ft of manufacturing and warehouse space.

Competition:

The Company believes that competition is limited to a small number of players, and that it is well-positioned among the competitive set, with long-term customer relationships. Because its products are generally disposed of after use, routine re-orders and replacements are a large part of the business, helping drive strong year-over-year customer retention and predictability of revenues.

Growth and Expansion:

The resurgence of the nuclear industry positions the Company well for future growth. Management expects that maintenance on existing power plants and construction of new nuclear plants will stimulate increased demand for its products, and that heightened concern about hazardous waste clean up sites and environmental impact will drive increased public spending on projects that involve the Company's products. Large scale processing and transportation of radioactive waste for disposal also offer long term opportunity for the Company.

Support/Training:

Seller willing to remain with the business for transition and integration.

Reason Selling: Other business opportunities.

Year Established: 1974
