As an operating holding company, Sanders Industries was formed specifically to acquire and operate manufacturing businesses across a broad range of industries and product capabilities. We seek niche manufacturing companies that utilize conversion processes to mold, shape, forge, form, cast, fabricate, or machine materials—primarily polymers and metals—into parts or components.
An Efficient Acquisition Process With extensive acquisition experience and a seasoned team, we can quickly close transactions. Our team will attend management presentations on short notice, and we can generate Expressions of Interest or Letters of Intent within 48 hours, if necessary. Sanders maintains a complete team of acquisition professionals on staff, enabling us to complete due diligence quietly and quickly. The typical Sanders Industries acquisition takes 60-90 days, but we can close more quickly if necessary.
Valuations Sanders Industries typically values transactions at five to seven times multiple of normalized EBITDA. Companies with unique market, product, or management attributes will be considered for higher multiples.
Smooth Integration Principles will find that we speak their language and intimately understand the mechanics of running a manufacturing company. We prefer not to change any of the ingredients that have created the successful enterprise that we hope to acquire. Instead, we help companies integrate smoothly, with minimal interference, so that they can continue building on their successful foundations.
