Tool shop operations with a modern CNC machine park in Košice

Basic information

The subject of the sale is the operations of an established tool shop in Košice, i.e. the complete machinery including accessories, tooling and measuring instruments, know-how, CNC programs for repeat orders and customer relationships. The buyer can also take over an experienced production team and the lease of the production hall. The company itself, its cash, receivables and payables remain with the seller.

The tool shop specialises in custom manufacturing of precision engineering components to the customer’s drawing, a sample part or its own design. It produces spare parts for production lines, jigs and fixtures, nests for welding machines, parts of moulds and cutting tools, as well as plastic injection moulds. Its services also include 3D modelling and technical drawings, while heat and surface treatment is provided in cooperation with partners.

The machine park covers CNC milling, wire EDM cutting, EDM start-hole drilling, surface and cylindrical grinding and conventional turning and milling. Its core consists of 2 three-axis vertical machining centres with low operating hours and geometry re-measured in 2026 and a practically new CNC wire EDM machine; the conventional machines have been overhauled with new electronics.

Customers are mainly automotive component manufacturers, other engineering and manufacturing companies, plastic moulding shops, cutting tool makers and measuring laboratories. Orders come in without active sales, as customers find the tool shop online or through referrals. There are no framework contracts, but part of the orders recur regularly, so the buyer can make use of the archive of CNC programs.

The tool shop has been operating since 2010, since the end of 2014 in its current leased hall, which allows production to be expanded. The hall is in a very good location close to a number of automotive customers, with the new Volvo car plant 15 minutes away. The operation is consistently profitable and has no loans or leases.

The team consists of a production manager, 2 toolmakers operating multiple machines and 1 part-time turner, who according to the owner would stay if their wages are maintained. The owner handles quotations, CNC programming and production planning, and once the purchase price has been paid he is willing to help with the handover for a transitional period.

The owner is selling for personal reasons. The operation’s strengths are its modern, well-maintained machine park, high profitability and stable demand. The main opportunity is introducing a second shift, as the key machines currently run on a single shift, together with developing active sales. The structure of the sale can be adapted to the buyer’s needs, for example with the takeover of the team and the hall, or with the machines relocated to the buyer’s own premises.

The offer is suited to tool shops and engineering companies looking to add capacity or enter eastern Slovakia, and to automation and production line companies that currently source parts externally and could make them in-house.
