Overview
This is an opportunity to acquire an established state of the art
re-manufacturing facility specializing in large commercial compressors. They
re-manufacture compressors for their customers on a national basis. This is
not a re-build or repair facility, but one that re-manufactures large
compressors to be as good as or better than the original compressor. This
company has developed and implemented the most sophisticated
re-manufacturing process in the industry. Some features:
Demand
Flow Technology Business Process
– Their fully implemented JIT system allows for low cost, high quality, high
output re-manufacturing that inspects, tracks, verifies and documents every
step of the process.
Proprietary
Software and Work Flow Programs –
Programs have been developed for training, testing, employee certification,
compressor certification, compressor performance, compressor diagnostics,
designs and reporting. The implementation of these programs has resulted in
the company building the best product. Customers have reported that
warranty/concession costs have been reduced by as much as 60 to 75%.
Highly
trained and skilled Self Directed work force -
Employees perform in self directed work teams with no direct supervision to
produce better than new compressors in a timely and cost effective way. This
is a stable non-union work force with the average of about 3 years with the
company. All are actively involved with the company training and
certification program.
General Information
Year Established:
1985 Employees: 16ft Facilities: The Company built and
moved into a new 25,000 square foot facility in mid 2006. Features include:
24 foot clear ceiling, tilt-up concrete construction with polished floors,
large storage capacity, controlled parts department, paint booth, process
layout manufacturing (gets the most production output per square foot) ,
offices, conference room with total office/plant HVAC controlled with
Merv-11 environmental standards.
The company has invested heavily in both quality and control, and is perhaps
the only company in the industry with the following credentials:
ISO 9001
For Quality Management
ISO 14001

Market Outlook
Competition:
There are many small and large companies that rebuild or repair or refurbish
compressors. There is no real competition that provides the same quality
re-manufacturing as this company. A survey of industry engineers,
contractors and technical sales people found this company to be far superior
to 10 other large industry re-manufacturers that were included in the
survey.
Growth and Expansion:
This segment of the re-manufacturing industry has been growing at a
compounded rate of about 10% for the past 10 years with recent growth
approaching 20%. The company has incredible upside opportunity for the right
synergistic buyer. It offers significant competitive advantages that would
improve customer satisfaction, reduce warranty costs and improve the bottom
line. The existing facility is capable of more than doubling current output
without the need for costly capital expenditures. (The company currently
operates 10 hours per day, four days per week. The suggested increased
capacity is based only on the same single shift schedule with a few
additional employees) Their re-manufacturing programs and procedures could
be implemented in other facilities. The return on the investment of
acquiring this company will be quick for the right buyer.

forward-thinking this company is. This would be an opportunity to see first
