Our Approach
CMG works with existing businesses to scale and grow but we actively seek to grow through acquisition. We are currently seeking U.S. based manufacturing services businesses in the Midwest or Eastern U.S. Primary focus is machining now but also exploring adjacencies. EBITDA ("SDE") should be greater than $500K.
We buy businesses with combinations of debt as well as investor equity and cash from operations. We analyze every deal uniquely and find best alternatives if viable and there are also structures where sellers can remain as partial investors.
If you are looking to sell your manufacturing business and you want to see the legacy you have built carried on, we would love to begin a conversation.
What makes CMG unique?
A lot of folks are out there looking to buy businesses from first time searchers to PE firms and everything in between. You are not selling a used car here, this is important.
Run with someone who has been through this and understands your industry and business, can get it done, and have you walking away content.
Experience
Our leadership and the teams deployed are some of the best in the manufacturing game, particularly in our current focus - machine shops. Building on the talent we have is a key focus - we are always looking to make the team stronger.
Ownership and Legacy
We want to invest and hold businesses for the long haul - not flip them like some investment firms and other "searchers". We seek to continue the hard earned business legacy established and often keep the brand names, teams and other elements in place as well as build on reputations.
Valuation
We offer fair and flexible valuations and seek to provide owners best exit options as supported by the business. We try to be transparent and look for win-win outcomes.
Operating Plans
We aim to invest in the business to grow it and make it more profitable so the team, customers and community benefit. As opposed to just cutting costs or completely hands off approach doing nothing.
