About This Business
Summary Description
This opportunity is a long-established engineering and manufacturing business that designs and builds specialized test, measurement, calibration, and data-acquisition equipment used in automotive production and quality-control applications.
The Company combines engineering, machining, electronics, assembly, calibration, repair, and technical support under one roof. Its installed base and direct customer relationships support repeat, replacement, service, and custom-project demand.
The business has maintained strong normalized profitability with a 2025 normalized SDE margin of approximately 33%. Operations are supported by an experienced team across production, machining, technical, and administrative roles.
The opportunity may fit a strategic buyer in test and measurement, industrial automation, or automotive services, as well as a technically capable owner-operator prepared to lead sales, customer relationships, and knowledge transfer.
