A successful Czech manufacturer of automatic measuring systems

Basic information

The subject of the sale is a 100% share in an established Czech company, engaged in the development, production and sale of professional measuring systems, both electronic measuring units, sensors, but also the necessary mechanical parts. For almost 30 years, it has been supplying and servicing its customers with complete measuring systems needed to carry out their activities. The components of the measuring systems are self-made or purchased on the foreign and domestic markets. We will specify the use of the systems and their focus to those interested after signing a confidentiality agreement.

For all products, whether measuring systems or sensors, their development continues continuously. The share of individual activities is roughly as follows:

• Development – 20%
• Production – 40%
• Realization – 25%
• Service – 15%

The company’s customers are mainly Czech research institutes, laboratories and similar institutions, but some products are also exported directly or through dealers to the whole world (hundreds of units per year). The company has important customers in, for example, Austria or Turkey.

The company currently has 8 employees. This is a team of highly skilled workers who know their role in the production, assembly and servicing of measuring systems.

The companies are based in leased premises with the rent agreed at a fixed price for the next 3 years. The leased space also includes a test plot next to the company headquarters. The company’s assets include pressing and injection moulds, preparations and auxiliary equipment for production, where the company is their owner. The company also owns all technical equipment for work, whether it is development, projection, calibration, assembly, adjustment, repairs, testing, etc. An important part of intangible assets is knowledge about technological production procedures and a database of established and proven subcontractors.

Despite its successes in the given area, the company still has great reserves in the further development of its activity, especially in the area of further business outside the territory of the Czech Republic. Although the company does not use any large advertising, there is no shortage of orders and the company’s production and service capacity is busy (the company had to refuse some orders in some years). A suitable connection with a company with a similar production program would create the possibility of significant further development. The company currently does not use any bank loans or subsidies for its financing and therefore has no obligations arising from this.

The person interested in this company has the opportunity to acquire an established, healthy, debt-free company that has been operating in leading positions in the Czech Republic for almost 30 years in the given segment of development, production, supply and service. The interested party will also acquire comprehensive know-how for the development, production, calibration of professional measuring systems and selected sensors.

The reason for the sale of the company is the older age of the owner. The owner is of course willing to work in the company for a limited time even after the sale and thus ensure the continuous transfer of the business into the hands of the new owner or owners. The listed price includes tangible assets, know-how, contractual relationships and working capital (receivables, inventories, liabilities from business relationships), the listed price does not include excess non-operating cash on the company’s accounts.
