At US MFG Network, we are reinventing the landscape of American manufacturing through our innovative collaborative network. Our mission is to address the challenges facing the industry by uniting entrepreneurs and operators to ensure a seamless transition for retiring owners, safeguard jobs for employees, and offer customers expanded access to manufacturing resources. With our nationwide network of manufacturers, we are fostering partnerships that harness the collective strength of scale to drive shared success and growth.

By bringing together manufacturers, buyers, investors, and employees, we are building a dynamic ecosystem that breathes new life into American manufacturing. Our initiative strengthens local communities, preserves jobs, and promotes sustainable economic progress for a better future.

We Want to Preserve What You Built

At US MFG, we deeply respect the hard work and dedication that machine shop owners have poured into building their businesses. We understand that selling a small business can be a daunting process, often leading owners to liquidate assets rather than finding a buyer for the entire operation. That’s why we’re offering a more comprehensive solution. US MFG specializes in acquiring small manufacturing businesses nationwide, providing retiring owners with a pathway to preserve their legacy.

By integrating and optimizing these companies, we ensure they operate more efficiently while maintaining their long-term success. Our approach safeguards the foundations owners have tirelessly built, allowing their work to continue flourishing. We also prioritize creating opportunities for employees, offering job stability, pathways to employee ownership, flexible scheduling, financial literacy programs, and leadership rooted in trust rather than hierarchy.

Our expansive network can serve:

• Business owners who are ready to retire and looking to sell their manufacturing firm
• Business buyers who are interested in acquiring and running a manufacturing firm
• Investors who are interested in investing in a growing manufacturing firm that has just changed ownership

Paths to Partnership with US MFG

Whether you are a business owner, entrepreneur, or investor, there are many benefits to partnering with US MFG through our robust network. We offer the following five paths to partnership for those looking to sell their business and those looking to purchase or invest in a manufacturing firm.

Path 1: Buy Out Your Boss

If you have spent years working for a manufacturing firm and you strongly believe in their mission and the work they do, it may make sense for you to pursue ownership, especially if the company is nearing a transition. US MFG can partner with you to put you on the path to ownership by buying out your boss.

With US MFG behind you, we can advocate on your behalf and instill confidence in the current ownership that you are the best person to take over the business and help it grow and develop into the future. Our representatives can help start the conversation of ownership transition and work with you through each step of the process including the valuation, negotiation, and financing to ensure a seamless transfer.

Path 2: Pass the Torch

Operators who own a manufacturing firm that produces $400k to $1.5M per year in EBITDA/SDE and have their successor picked out are already halfway to transferring ownership. US MFG can work with business owners who are ready to pass the torch to support the transfer process and help the successor become part of the US MFG network.

The goal of our Pass the Torch path to partnership is to instill confidence in your successor by providing the support they need to take over and lead the company in a way that fosters growth and ensures success into the future.

Path 3: Save Our Shop

At US MFG, we can also help manufacturing business owners who run firms that produce $400k to $1.5M per year in EBITDA/SDE but have no successor picked out to take over the business when they retire. Through our Save Our Shop path to partnership, we can help you identify the next owner of your business.

Once your successor has been chosen, we will work with them to assist in every step of the ownership transfer and ensure that we provide the resources they need to help your company grow and carry on your legacy.

Path 4: Play of Game

If you are already part of the manufacturing industry, believe in US MFG’s mission to reverse the decline of American manufacturing, and want to own a manufacturing business, we can help put you on the path to ownership.

We work with general managers and those currently in leadership roles within the manufacturing industry who are ready to run their own firm. Through our Play of Game path to partnership, we can match those ready to own with a manufacturing business that meets our standards. You can then expect us to assist you through every step of the acquisition process and ensure you have the resources necessary to run the business successfully.

This path is for entrepreneurs with industry experience and a serious drive to run a successful business and control their own destiny. We recommend that those who choose this path have at least seven years of industry experience.

Path 5: Rep Network

If your manufacturing business generates under $400k in SDE, we’ve got the perfect solution for you. The US MFG REP program offers retiring owners the opportunity to earn recurring commissions from their existing customer base.

Instead of closing your business and letting your loyal customers go elsewhere, this program allows you to transition them to US MFG Operating Companies who can meet their needs seamlessly while you continue to receive commissions on their work throughout your retirement. This approach is particularly ideal for manufacturers with 1-5 employees and less than $1M in annual revenue.
