About this business
Assembles and tests control panels, pump sets and small machinery modules for larger manufacturers, working to customer drawings from a leased unit in Sunderland. It has traded since 2008 and employs 18 technicians and assemblers. Turnover has risen every year from £1.74m to £2.25m, though EBITDA has grown more slowly to £284k, so margins have narrowed. A buyer could improve returns by reviewing pricing on repeat work, and gains a skilled assembly team that its manufacturing customers already depend on.
