High-Margin B2B Equipment Sales, Retrofit & Lifecycle Technical Service | Strong Midwest Footprint
OVERVIEW
This business is a trusted partner for steel fabricators, machine shops, and manufacturing plants across Illinois and neighboring states. Rather than producing parts, the company sells, installs, and services the heavy equipment those shops depend on every day. Core offerings include new, used, and reconditioned machinery sales, retrofit projects, replacement parts, and ongoing field maintenance. The business operates out of a 10,400 sq. ft. facility with a brand-new roof (available for purchase or lease), fully outfitted with equipment service bays, parts inventory, and front offices. The team handles a wide range of industrial machinery, including beam and punch presses, drill lines, cold saws, conveyor systems, and rebar equipment. The current owner focuses primarily on general management, customer relationships, and company financials.
Competitive Edge
Fabrication and manufacturing plants rely on this company to keep their lines running and minimize downtime. With three decades of steady operations, the business has built a loyal customer base that relies on them across major equipment brands and machinery types. Because the company handles everything from initial installation to retrofits, preventative care, and emergency repairs, it acts as a true one-stop machinery partner. This ongoing relationship creates dependable repeat business, leading to an outstanding ~40% discretionary earnings margin.
Growth & Future
In 2025, the company generated $689,288 in revenue and $278,239 in Adjusted SDE (maintaining a 40% margin, even with a customer's equipment delivery pushed into the next year). Growth paths are clear: add active sales reps, expand maintenance contracts, and market more aggressively throughout the greater Midwest. This opportunity is an excellent fit for an equipment sales professional, an operations/service specialist ready for business ownership, or a machinery dealer looking to expand service capabilities.
