Buying a light manufacturing business?

Small producers of finished goods and components: plastics, packaging, food items, fabricated assemblies, and private-label runs, typically serving a regional customer base. Documented processes, tooling, and certifications raise the barrier to displacement, and many of these plants run below their potential because the founder built product rather than sales; customer concentration is the standard diligence caution.
