ASKING PRICE$425,000 CADAsset acquisition only
01 / THE OPPORTUNITY
A head start you can't build overnight.
Nearly 40 years of specialized knowledge, installed shop infrastructure and established customer relationships — assembled into one compelling opportunity for an experienced operator or strategic buyer.
The operation has historically focused on interior stair railings and stair components, while its production setup can support a wider mix of architectural millwork, custom turning and specialty woodworking.
02 / PRODUCTION CAPABILITY
The infrastructure is already here.
Not merely a machinery list. An established shop with complementary systems, specialized tooling and practical production knowledge.
Woodworking machinery
CNC capability, saws, shaper, planer, wide-belt and other sanding equipment.
PRODUCTION FLEXIBILITYSpecialized wood turning
Multiple turning machines, spindle production capability and generations of dedicated knives, patterns and profiles.
DIFFICULT TO RECREATEFinishing equipment
Spray booth with fire suppression, spray systems, preparation and drying capacity.
IN-HOUSE FINISHINGInventory and support assets
Raw materials, forklift, handling equipment, portable tools, shop fixtures and established supplier connections.
READY TO SUPPORT OPERATIONSProduction knowledge
Accumulated patterns, templates, practical know-how and established workflows developed over decades.
MORE THAN PHYSICAL ASSETSDetailed asset list, condition and inclusions are provided as part of qualified buyer due diligence. Certain facilities and lease arrangements require third-party consent.
03 / COMMERCIAL CONNECTIONS
The value goes beyond the shop.
For more than 15 years, the business has maintained a longstanding relationship with a major residential developer, repeatedly securing contracts to supply and install interior stair railings across its developments throughout the Lower Mainland.
This established relationship reflects years of continued business, familiarity with the developer’s requirements, and a proven history of delivering on residential construction projects.
The business has also completed contracted work for another major residential developer, adding to its experience and established presence in the industry.
Written contract confirmations and supporting project documentation are available to qualified purchasers. Continuation of existing or future work following an acquisition would be subject to the applicable customer’s approval, construction schedules and individual purchase orders. No future volume or revenue is guaranteed.
For an existing millwork, stair, cabinet or construction business, this can be a platform for additional production capacity and potential customer continuity.
04 / THE RIGHT FIT
Built for someone who sees the possibilities.
A
The strategic buyer
An established stair, cabinet, millwork, finishing, construction or woodworking company that wants to add capabilities, tooling or capacity without recreating the entire production environment.
B
The experienced operator
A capable entrepreneur who sees an established base for expansion into new clients, new products or additional custom manufacturing work.
05 / TRANSACTION STRUCTURE

The opportunity is structured as a sale of agreed operating assets and business capabilities — not a purchase of the existing corporation.
