Precision Components Manufacturer
A 30-year-old machine shop that quietly became the sole qualified supplier for parts nobody else wants to make. Boring on the surface, a moat underneath.

Why this one made the list
Second-generation family business machining tight-tolerance components for aerospace and medical customers. Certifications and switching costs most competitors gave up on years ago. Customer concentration is real — and so is the 15-year average customer tenure.
What we like
Recurring, spec-locked revenue. Pricing power they've historically been too polite to use. A capable operations lead already in the building.
What worries us
Founder still holds too much process knowledge in his head. Capex catch-up is due. Both are fixable — and priced accordingly.
The opportunity
Growth capital to add capacity for a signed LOI with a new anchor customer, alongside a gradual leadership transition. Full materials available to friends of the firm.
