Industrial valve wholesaler for the energy and chemical sectors with its own premises

Basic information

The subject of the sale is a 100% stake in a company engaged in the specialised wholesale of industrial valves and pipe components. The range includes globe valves, gate valves, ball valves, butterfly and check valves, strainers, steam traps, pressure regulators, expansion joints, actuators and gearboxes. It is complemented by flanges, fittings and measuring instruments. The products are made of cast iron, cast steel and stainless steel and are used for water, steam, air, oils and petroleum products. The company also supplies certified valves for operations with high safety requirements.

The main customers are companies in district heating, energy, chemicals, gas and water utilities, as well as trading, construction and installation firms and tradespeople. The customer base is broad and the company is not dependent on any single large customer. At the same time, it has framework agreements with several major companies in the energy, mining and chemical industries. Most revenue comes from regular customers, and sales go to the domestic market as well as to EU countries. New customers are acquired online and through telephone outreach. The company sends its own printed and electronic catalogue to installation firms and designers.

A significant advantage is its own registered trademark, valid until 2035. Under it, selected valves in pressure classes PN6 to PN40 are produced by a contract manufacturer in China, which gives the company better control over margins and product availability. It has an ISO 9001 quality management system and stable supplier relationships.

The company has been on the market since 1993, as a limited liability company since 1999, and has been owned by the same owners throughout. It has its own premises with an office building and warehouse, with offices of approx. 250 m2 and a warehouse of approx. 1,250 m2. The building is adjoined by a handling area of approx. 7,400 m2. Goods are delivered across the Czech Republic with the company’s own vehicles.

The company is consistently profitable with an above-average margin, and after a weaker 2025 its revenue and profit are growing again in 2026. It has no bank loans or leases and holds large inventory, so most orders are fulfilled directly from stock.

The company has 7 employees in sales, purchasing, warehousing and supply, while accounting and administration are covered under an agreement for work. The owners are not involved in day-to-day operations and draw no salary, so the results are not burdened by their remuneration. They are selling because they have no successor.

The company’s strengths are its long history and a stable base of regular customers, together with its own brand, broad stock, owned premises with no rent and a debt-free balance sheet. We see opportunities in more active sales, expanding sales of the own brand, exports and using the spare capacity of the premises.

The offer is suited to a strategic buyer from the industry, for example a wholesaler of technical or plumbing supplies or a valve distributor looking to broaden its range and coverage of eastern Bohemia. The company also makes sense for a financial investor or a manager who will take over its management. The buyer should plan to cover accounting and administration on roughly a half-time basis; the managing director who currently handles it is willing to help with the handover for a transitional period after the sale.
