Business Summary

Falcon Commercial are delighted to offer for sale this thriving machining company for the hydraulic industry which has been under the proud ownership of our clients since 2001 and is now reluctantly being offered to the market as they wish to concentrate on other business interests.

Sleabridge specializes within the hydraulics and pneumatics industry providing bespoke manifolds and integrated circuits, ranging from prototype development and one off production, to repeated batch quantities of a few hundred. Their experience in this market means they can offer the best lead times and costs to both clients current and future. Sleabridge are not hydraulic system design engineers, but they do work very closely with their clients to help design the optimum manifold block for a given application. The company is very much able to translate ideas and sketches into fully working components.

The business is based in Crewkerne, Somerset and enjoys an all year round trade. It has a turnover in the region of £820,000 per year with healthy gross profit margins. Sleabridge has major international clients, such as Parker Hannifin, the Eaton Corporation, Hydraforce Hydraulics Ltd and Bosch as well as a number of smaller clients who design their own bespoke applications and utilize Sleabridge’s advanced manufacturing skills and knowledge to their own advantage.

We feel that this opportunity represents an ideal base on which to build upon and early negotiations with Falcon Commercial are highly recommended.
