Metal Rolling and Fabrication
A Southern California metal rolling and structural fabrication shop with AWS-certified welders, serving aerospace, construction, automotive and petroleum customers.
Business Highlights
- AWS-certified welders handling rolling, bending, cutting and full fabrication
- Serves aerospace, construction, automotive, amusement park and petroleum sectors rather than one industry
- EBITDA margins around 35%, strong for job-shop fabrication
- Profitability has improved sharply
Considerations / Questions to Ask
- AWS certification sits with the welders. What is their tenure, and does certification transfer with the shop?
- Work is project-based and transactional. What does the order book look like going forward?
- Aerospace and petroleum customers usually impose qualification requirements. What approvals are held?
- What is the age and condition of the rolling and forming equipment?
- Is the premises owned or leased, and on what terms?
Opportunities
- Serving five distinct sectors means no single industry downturn takes the shop with it
- Aerospace and petroleum work carries qualification barriers that already exist here
- Transactional customers have never been converted into supply agreements
- Certified welding capacity is genuinely scarce and constrains competitors more than demand does
