Roll up project into Mission Critical Components Italian market

I am building an industrial group focused on critical components, where one company has already been identified and exclusivity has been signed. We aim to reach €12M EBITDA by acquiring 8 to 10 companies. The investment thesis is clear: we acquire certified manufacturing companies producing critical components for high-value industries, which have compressed multiples due to lack of succession. Target markets are medical, aerospace, defence, beverage & pharma packaging, and semiconductors. We focus on small companies that play a real role in critical parts of these industries. We already have a pipeline of several companies. We look for companies with simple management, Italian market is abundant in these entities between 1M/2M EBITDA. The first company has vertical competences on the most critical components of beverage & pharma molds, with ultra-precision CNC machining. Exclusivity signed. Exit strategy: 7 years for the whole group. We are asking for €1.2M for the first acquisition (in order to secure the first target - before September), with a second roll-up round of €25M. Happy to connect for a brief call if the thesis resonates, and then share full material after NDA.
