Basic information

The subject of the sale is a 100% share in a trading company based in the South Moravian Region, which has been operating in the field of industrial automation for more than 35 years. The company provides, with its own capacities, complete deliveries of the electrical and control parts of single-purpose machines, production lines, testing stations and assembly equipment – from the conceptual design through electrical engineering of power and control switchboards, cabling and sensor technology, to the development of software for PLCs, visualisation and integration with the MES systems of production plants.

Alongside its own engineering activities, the company has long-standing distribution representation of two foreign manufacturers of components for industrial automation on the Czech market. Its typical customers include leading manufacturers in the automotive industry, producers of precast concrete building elements and concrete plants, mechanical engineering companies and engineering design offices. The company’s installations operate in Europe, Asia and Africa – thanks to exports through general suppliers of machinery units.

Over the course of its existence, the company has delivered more than 1,000 completed projects and has built a stable portfolio of long-term customers who regularly order upgrades, servicing and new technologies. The business has been profitable for many years; the company has audited accounts and no bank debt. Revenues from the main activity have ranged between CZK 23 and 35 million per year in recent years, and the normalised EBITDA from operations ranges between CZK 0.9 and 6.8 million. The management plan for 2026 anticipates a return to revenues of around CZK 30 million.

The company owns an equipped operation with a workshop, offices, vehicle fleet and stock of electrical components. Its available assets also include professional software licences (including CAD for electrical design and a development environment for PLCs), source codes of applications deployed at customers, an archive of completed electrical projects, and know-how built over generations of specialists.

The team of 10 employees includes an electrical designer, electrical fitters, programmers and administrative-managerial support. The current owner holds the company management position at approximately 50% of full-time capacity and is willing to remain in a managerial role after the sale, if this is beneficial to the buyer. The reason for the sale is solely the owner’s personal reasons.

The subject of the sale is 100% of the shares, excluding cash and excluding real estate – the real estate will be carved out into a separate entity prior to the transaction, and after the sale the buyer will be able to lease the operational premises on a long-term basis on market terms (indicatively around CZK 1 million per year). The company has no bank debt. The sale price is set at CZK 13 million (excluding cash and excluding real estate).

The investment is particularly suitable for a company in the industrial automation sector which lacks a strong electrical and software department in its structure, or which wishes to expand its existing capacities. It also makes sense for a financial investor wishing to build on the established customer relationships, long-term distribution representations, and to develop the company’s current activities.

What are the next steps?

We sign an NDA

Fill in the contact form and we will promptly send you a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to sign. We will also briefly ask about your intent and background.

You receive detailed information

After signing the NDA, we will provide detailed information about the company, its financials and the price.

Personal meeting

We will answer any follow-up questions and arrange an on-site meeting with the owner of the company.

Frequently asked questions

What is a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and why do you need it?

The sale of a company is highly confidential. Employees, customers and business partners are often unaware that the company is for sale, and premature disclosure could harm the business. Before sharing detailed information, we therefore need to be sure it will be treated confidentially, and that is exactly what the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is for. You usually sign it only once, it covers all InBase listings, and you can sign it electronically via SignWell in a few minutes.

What do I receive after signing the NDA?

We will send you an identified profile of the company, that is, the company name, a detailed description of its operations, customers and team, and detailed financial results. On request, we will gladly provide further materials for assessing the opportunity. If your interest continues after reviewing the identified information, the next step is usually a meeting with the owner, which we will arrange.

How quickly will I receive the detailed information?

After you submit your inquiry, we will usually get back to you within the next business day and send you the NDA to sign. For some listings we first briefly confirm with the owner that we may proceed, but even then it is typically a matter of days, not weeks.

Why do we ask about your intent and financing?

We guarantee owners that sensitive information reaches serious buyers only. Before identification we may therefore ask about your motivation, intent and the planned financing of the transaction. Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide specific information to interested parties who cannot demonstrate that at least part of the purchase price is covered by their own funds, as the financing would then be unrealistic.

Do I pay any commission as a buyer?

No. If you choose a company from our listings, you as the buyer pay us no commission for the intermediation. Our fee is paid exclusively by the seller.
