Established Industrial Electrical And Automation Services Business In Western Canada

Canada
Updated 19 hours ago

Established industrial electrical, automation and instrumentation services company in Western Canada, generating approximately 82% of its revenue from recurring service work, with an experienced management team and more than 20 years under single ownership. The business provides essential electrical maintenance, troubleshooting, industrial automation, instrumentation, programming and project services to heavy-industrial production facilities. Its integrated technical capabilities include PLC programming, HMI systems, variable frequency drives (VFDs), control systems and production equipment. Qualified Red Seal tradespeople deliver both electrical and automation services, providing customers with a comprehensive technical service offering. Operating across four Western Canadian provinces, the company benefits from long-standing relationships with established industrial customers, including major multinational organisations. Its customer base provides a consistent foundation of scheduled maintenance and service requirements, complemented by approximately 18% of revenue from quoted project work. The business has demonstrated its ability to expand existing customer relationships and secure additional work without a dedicated sales function. An established general manager oversees day-to-day operations, supported by an experienced senior estimator responsible for quoting. The current owner provides approximately 20–25 hours of weekly oversight. Significant growth opportunities include introducing dedicated business development and marketing, expanding contracted maintenance programmes, increasing services to existing customers and leveraging the company's $750,000 surety bonding capacity to pursue additional projects. The business is offered for sale as the founder approaches retirement. A structured transition of up to 12 months, tapering into a consulting arrangement, can be tailored to the purchaser's requirements to support continuity of operations and customer relationships. This opportunity is particularly suited to established electrical contracting, industrial automation, instrumentation or technical services companies seeking to expand their Western Canadian presence, acquire specialist technical expertise and benefit from an established industrial customer base. The business is primarily offered through the sale of 100% of its shares, although an asset transaction may be considered. The company reports no litigation, warranty disputes, liens or lost-time safety incidents during the previous five years. Certain key customer relationships may require approval of, or confidence in, the incoming ownership group. Confidential information and further financial details are available to suitably qualified purchasers following execution of a non-disclosure agreement.
