Niche Steel Fabricator- Modular Data Center Structures--On Hold
Business Description
I represent a steel fabricator/manufacturer which has developed a niche in fabricating steel modular data buildings/skids. Since focusing its direction on the Modular Data Center market, this market absorbs about 65% of the fabricator’s current sales volume. And over the past 5 years, sales have increased over 40%, and its EBITDA has averaged over 13.5% of sales over this time. And the future outlook is very strong considering the growth of the Modular Data Center market. Since 2018, this company has built and shipped well over 400 modular data center structures, both nationally and internationally.
Its customers are impressed with the one stop shop for fabrication as its 250,000 square foot space houses all the equipment and tools necessary to deliver a fully painted completed project, whether the contract requires powder coating or wet paint. Yes, it has a 60+’ powder coating oven and a newly installed drive through 70+’ wet paint booth, along with a downdraft booth. The company’s coatings specialties and heavy weldment abilities enables it to also serve local OEMs.
The owner has made significant investments in this Division to maintain its position in the
marketplace as a full-service vendor for its customers. There is no manufacturing/ fabricating company in this area that offers this company’s wide range of capabilities and services.
More recent investments made specifically for the modular data center market include a Python X Structural Fabrication System, an automatic feed sandblaster booth, a 60’ long Rohner powder coating oven, and a 72’+ drive through wet paint booth. The company also invested in 2 new lasers-one for plate cutting. These equipment investments have made the fabrication shop more efficient and have increased margins.
