Rather than pursuing only a traditional 100% sale, the owner is interested in working with the right active owner-operator or strategic manufacturing partner to maximize the long-term value of the business and manufacturing campus while creating a path toward the seller's eventual transition.
The manufacturing property is located in Deerwood, Minnesota and consists of approximately 62,000 square feet of industrial buildings, including production, warehouse, showroom, office, boiler and kiln facilities, along with manufacturing equipment valued at about $1 million.
Depending on the right strategic fit, the seller is open to discussing a variety of structures, including:
Acquisition of the business and real estate.
Joint venture with an experienced millwork manufacturer.
A phased ownership transition while the seller remains involved to support continued growth.
Partial or full lease of the manufacturing facility.
Expansion opportunities utilizing the existing production capacity, heavy equipment, and industrial infrastructure.
Other creative ownership, operating, or leasing arrangements that create long-term value for both parties.
This opportunity is intended for an active industry participant—not a passive investor or financial buyer seeking an absentee investment. It is best suited for an experienced millwork manufacturer, woodworking company, or strategic operator looking to:
Expand manufacturing capacity.
Establish or strengthen a Midwest production footprint.
Utilize an existing industrial campus without the time and cost of new construction.
Partner with the current owner to grow the business before an eventual ownership transition.
Explore a flexible joint venture, lease, or acquisition structure.
