Manufacturing Acquisitions
We buy manufacturing companies, and keep the people who built them.
Three Delta buys established small and mid-sized manufacturing companies across the U.S., Florida included. We're an operator-buyer based in Miami Beach, with financing in place before we make an offer. We buy to own and run the business long-term, with your team.

What we look at in a manufacturing business
Every manufacturer is valued on its numbers. These are the things behind the numbers that we ask about first, so you can have answers ready.
The full guide: Selling a Manufacturing Business →Customer concentration. How much of your revenue comes from your top one, five and ten customers, and whether those relationships sit with you or with your team.
Repeat orders and backlog. How much work comes back on standing or repeat orders, and how far ahead your backlog runs.
Equipment. The age and condition of your machines, what's owned or leased, and what will need replacing in the next few years.
Your skilled people. Machinists, operators, welders and supervisors: how long they've stayed, and who trains the next ones.
Quality and certifications. The quality system you run and any certifications your customers require, such as ISO 9001.

Questions manufacturing owners ask us
Who buys small manufacturing companies?
Most small manufacturers sell to one of three kinds of buyer: private-equity firms and the companies they own, larger manufacturers in the same or a nearby industry, and operator-buyers who buy a company to run it. Three Delta is an operator-buyer. We buy established manufacturing companies with $2 million to $30 million in revenue and run them long-term with the existing team.
Do you buy manufacturing companies in Florida?
Yes. We're based in Miami Beach and buy manufacturing companies anywhere in the U.S., Florida included.
How long does it take to sell my manufacturing company to you?
Usually 60 to 90 days from a signed letter of intent to closing. Before that, the pace mostly depends on how quickly the financials come together. Financing is lined up before the LOI, so it doesn't hold up the close.
Will my employees keep their jobs?
Yes. Keeping the team is how we buy. Your machinists, operators, supervisors and office staff are a large part of what makes the company worth buying.
Do I have to stay on after the sale?
A 3 to 6 month handover is typical, so customers, staff and suppliers get to know the new owner with you there. If you have managers in place, the handover can be shorter.
