The successful buyer will be knowledgeable in machine shop operations, preferably familiar with Davenport automatic screw machines. The building is not currently fully utilized by the financial performance of the business. To effectively leverage the building, the ideal situation would be the relocation of a buyer operation into the building to fill capacity. There is sufficient space to allow for reorganizing equipment if it is desirable to commission CNC machines in the facility as a compliment to the Davenport machines.

The preference is to sell the business and building together. Offers for the business only will be accepted, however offers for the building only will not be accepted until after the business is sold. If the business is purchased separate from the building, the business will have to be relocated to a buyer controlled facility. The Sellers will not entertain entering into a lease agreement of any duration to allow for business operations to continue operating in place in the building.
