Production of confectionery products with customers throughout Slovakia

Basic information

The subject of sale is a 100% share in a company operating an established confectionery production. The company has been operating in this business for more than 11 years, and during that time it has become one of the strongest players in the field of suppliers of confectionery and desserts. The company is headquartered in southern Slovakia, but it delivers products to customers throughout Slovakia through its own delivery service. The company’s products include mainly cakes, desserts, macaroons, strudels, cheesecakes and tarts.

The company currently supplies its products to more than70 customers, to more than 200 establishments. A typical customer of the company is a confectionery or food retail chain. The company supplies to about 100 establishments on a long-term basis, based on regular deliveries.

The company is financially sound and generates stable profit. Given that the company is registered as a social enterprise, a large part of the wages paid are covered by subsidies, which is a huge competitive advantage for the company. Subsidies are able to cover up to 200-300 thousand EUR per year of wage costs.

Production takes place in its own premises in a smaller village in southern Slovakia. These premises house the company’s administrative and production premises with state-of-the-art equipment and technology. The building was built in 2007, the premises are modern and adapted to confectionery production. It draws electricity partly from the installed PV panels on the building. In addition to this building, the company also uses a small warehouse space of 90 m², which the company rents.

The company currently employs 42 employees, a large part of whom have worked for the company for a long time and are experienced workers. However, according to the owner, if the company intends to expand its product portfolio, it would be necessary to strengthen the team with a capable confectioner. The owner only focuses on supervision and strategy in the company, and currently does not devote more than 20 hours of time to the company per week.

The company is in very good shape, in 2024 it launched a project to expand into the retail sector, when it opened 3 of its own stores, with an investment of approximately 110 thousand EUR, which was also reflected in the growth in turnover, which, together with income from subsidies, reached almost 1 million EUR. The number of employees has also increased. For 2025, the company expects turnover, including subsidies, of approximately EUR 1.4 million and annual EBITDA of approximately EUR 200,000. By the end of the year, the company plans to open additional operations, so turnover could be slightly higher.

The owner is only selling the company due to time constraints and the inability to fully devote himself to the company. Therefore, he would like to hand over the company to an interested party who will have the opportunity to further develop it and fully utilize its potential. The company is ideal for both an individual investor who is interested in doing business in the food industry and utilizing the potential of established production, or a strategic investor who will utilize the capacity of already established production and customer network.
