Leading design-led precision manufacturing company sold to private investors
Investacast is a design-led precision manufacturing company with extensive expertise in Investment Casting, Pressure Die Casting and Forgings. With over 40 years of market expertise and extensive capability in ferrous, non-ferrous and aerospace grade alloys, the Company supplied a range of industries including Aerospace, Semi-Conductor, Safety and Automotive.
Its unique combination of skilled British craftsmanship and engineering expertise had earned the Company an excellent reputation amongst its extensive international client base. This is a major contributing factor to its exceptional repeat business rate. Demonstrating consistent profitability and offering significant growth potential, Investacast presented a solid base for an acquirer to progress the business to further global growth.
The Company was run by two of its shareholders, Tony Buckland and Chris Thompson. Having successfully grown the business they were considering options to develop the business further in its “step change” growth cycle. They concluded that Investacast would benefit greatly from new owners possessing a strong infrastructure and expertise on the international platform. Seeking professional advise on selling the business, they contacted Evolution CBS and met up with CEO, Rob Goddard, to discuss their options and get a formal business valuation.
