Calder Capital is pleased to announce the successful sale of Action Machine, a Midwest-based Specialty Industrial Components Manufacturer, based in South Bend, Indiana to two Midwest-based entrepreneurs.
Over the decades, Action Machine has built a reputation for high-quality products and a robust online presence. The company is a machining and components manufacturer that offers short-run production, maintenance repair machining, and welding. With the founder ready for retirement, the owners engaged Calder’s Sell-Side Team to secure a successor for their family’s business.
Kregg Kiel of Calder Capital served as the Exclusive Mergers and Acquisitions Advisor to Action Machine. Gregory Weess served as Lead Associate on the transaction.
Calder’s Sell-Side Team generated significant interest after launching to market, resulting in 129 CIMs sent to qualified buyers, 10 Indications of Interest (IOIs), and three Letters of Intent (LOIs), with an offer accepted within four months. The deal was successfully closed seven and a half months after going to market.
“We had an incredible amount of interest in Action Machine, receiving 10 Indications of Interest (IOIs) and three Letters of Intent (LOIs) from highly qualified buyers,” said Kregg Kiel, M&A Advisor at Calder Capital. “It was clear that the buyer and his team were the right fit to carry on the company’s legacy while implementing new strategies for growth.”
“This transaction exemplifies Calder Capital’s ability to bring the right buyers and competition to the table,” said Max Friar, Managing Partner of Calder Capital. “We are thrilled to have played a role in connecting the sellers with a new ownership group that shares their commitment to quality and innovation.”
