Focused on Metal Manufacturing
Over the last 20 years, we have worked with hundreds of buyers and sellers in the Metal Manufacturing space. This space includes contract manufacturers in CNC, Stamping, Metal Fabrication, Laser Cutting, Milling, Original Equipment Manufacturer, and companies that produce their metal, aluminum, and stainless steel parts.
By developing thousands of relationships in this industry, we have been able to match compatible buyers and sellers.
Next Point’s proprietary metal manufacturing database compiled over many years using multiple resources includes over 25,000 metal manufacturing companies including 3,900 serial buyers. We have created a resource far more comprehensive than any list you can buy.
Meet Your Team
Since our inception in 2004, Next Point has completed and facilitated over 350 acquisitions, divestitures, and mergers. Our clients are based in the United States and our buyers are worldwide.
Our typical client is an entrepreneurial or closely held business between $1-$50 Mil.
We seek to keep things simple and practical. We approach your situation as owners, not consultants. We are coaches and facilitators, not decision makers.
We run a very time-sensitive and disciplined M&A process that aims to maintain confidentiality. We seek to keep things simple and practical as we work to develop clarity and focus for our clients as they navigate through a transaction.
