BRANDED PRODUCT MANUFACTURER OF SPECIALTY TOOLS (NVC2201)

Branded Product Manufacturer of Specialty Tools

This Company manufacturers a specific type of tool and sells it under its own trade name mostly online across the United States, wholesale and retail. The Company represents a successful blending of the old and new. Its well-recognized brand name dates back to the Company’s founding more than a hundred years ago, yet sales today are mainly through the most modern method – e-commerce. About 75% of sales come through Amazon and Big Box hardware and home improvement stores while 25% are direct sales to individuals, distributors, companies, government and schools. In addition to its longevity in the market, the Company distinguishes itself through customer service, quality and competitive pricing. The Company formerly manufactured its own products domestically, but now outsources that manufacturing overseas while still retaining ownership of its patterns. It maintains some 100 active customers, some of whom have been with the Company for decades. The current owners are looking to retire and are willing to assist new owners through a reasonable transition period, with the length and compensation to be negotiated.
