Stone Countertop Fabrication Company

by a searcher from Grace College

I’m curious if anyone has experience acquiring or going through due diligence on a stone countertop fabrication company.  I don’t see or hear about companies like this and I’m wondering if I’ve stumbled on a great niche business or if I’m missing something.  Financials look solid and it’s available at about 3X SDE.  Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks Alexandra. My biggest concern is growth. The silica dust issue can be addressed with air filtration and industrial scrubbers (I think) but that's costly. Efficient equipment is expensive too. The cost to grow a business like this may outweigh the opportunity as it stands right now. If anyone in this community has tackled manufacturing or fabrication with high unknown costs like this, I'd like to know how you addressed them during due diligence. If I continue down this road, I imagine I'll need to bring in some technical advisors on the equipment, facility, and safety.
