Engineering group specialized in precision engineering and industrial distribution

Basic information

The subject of the sale is a 100% stake in a group of three interconnected companies operating in two complementary fields. The parent company focuses on precision engineering production, while the two subsidiaries handle distribution of industrial chemicals, soldering and brazing materials and service equipment. Both subsidiaries are wholly owned by the parent company, so the buyer acquires the entire group in a single step.

The manufacturing arm specialises in custom production of precision machined parts, using both CNC machining centres and modernised conventional machines with digital measurement. Production is geared towards small and medium batches for the electrical engineering, food processing and automotive industries, working with both metallic and non-metallic materials. The company provides complete technological processing including deburring and edge chamfering on single-purpose machines, heat treatment, surface finishing, assembly and individual packaging. The majority of output goes to foreign customers in Western Europe, which gives the group stable demand and higher price levels than the domestic market.

The commercial arm consists of two specialised distribution companies. The first supplies premium soft and hard solders, soldering pastes, fluxes and complete soldering accessories to the Czech and Slovak markets, acting as the exclusive representative of several reputable European manufacturers. The portfolio is complemented by professional tools for plumbers, heating engineers, tinsmiths and refrigeration companies, sold both directly to trade customers and through the company’s own online shop. The second distribution company focuses on industrial and service chemicals, namely additives, adhesives, repair and cleaning products for industrial maintenance, car service networks and the marine industry, and is likewise the exclusive distributor of premium foreign brands. The customer base consists of manufacturing plants, car service chains, bakery and food processing operations and transport companies, typically on the basis of long-standing cooperation.

The group has more than thirty years of continuous operation behind it. The manufacturing company was founded in the early 1990s and has since generated turnover of over one billion Czech crowns; the distribution companies joined the group later, adding commercial and service know-how. The manufacturing arm holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, a standard requirement for cooperation with foreign customers.

The group has been consistently profitable and its performance has accelerated markedly in recent years. Revenue grew from around CZK 90 million in 2023 to CZK 98.3 million in 2025, while normalised EBITDA rose over the same period from CZK 9.6 million to CZK 15.0 million. For 2026 the group plans revenue of CZK 98 million and conservatively projects EBITDA of CZK 13.5 million at a margin of 13.8 %; results for the first half of 2026 confirm this plan. The group carries virtually no bank debt, holding only lease balances of approximately CZK 1.7 million, and has around CZK 11.4 million in cash on its accounts.

The group employs around 35 people, mostly in technical and production roles. All employees are formally engaged by the parent company and payroll costs are re-invoiced to the subsidiaries, which simplifies HR administration. The team is stable, well trained and able to run both production and sales without the owner’s day-to-day involvement. The group owns no real estate; production and warehouse premises are held under lease agreements, so the buyer does not take on capital tied up in buildings.

The reason for the sale is the owner’s decision to focus on his other business activities. The owner is prepared to ensure a proper handover and to remain available to the buyer during a transition period.

The group’s key strength is the combination of stable contract manufacturing with distribution margins, where fluctuations in one segment are cushioned by the other. Added to this are an export orientation towards Western Europe, exclusive representation of established foreign brands, long-standing customer relationships and a certified management system. Opportunities for a new owner lie in expanding the distribution portfolio into Slovakia and other countries in the region, strengthening online sales, using spare capacity in the machine park, and running the group as a platform for further acquisitions in both fields.

The offer is aimed at strategic buyers from engineering or technical distribution seeking established production capacity and a sales network, as well as at financial investors looking for a profitable group with room to grow.
