Texas is the largest manufacturing state in the United States by output, producing over $250 billion in manufactured goods annually. The state's manufacturing sector spans petrochemicals, electronics, food processing, aerospace, defence, and industrial machinery. Behind each of these businesses is an owner — often someone who has spent decades building a company from the ground up. When the time comes to sell, Texas manufacturing business owners deserve a buyer who understands the sector and respects what they have built. CMBB, led by Leonardo Obodoeke, is that buyer.
Texas Manufacturing: A Seller's Market
Texas manufacturing businesses are in high demand among buyers. The state's business-friendly environment, no state income tax, strong infrastructure, and access to Gulf Coast ports make Texas manufacturers attractive to both domestic and international acquirers. Buyers range from private equity firms and strategic acquirers to family offices and direct buyers like CMBB. For sellers, this demand translates into competitive valuations — provided the business is properly prepared and presented.
Valuing a Texas Manufacturing Business
Texas manufacturing businesses are typically valued using earnings-based analysis, with the applicable multiple varying by sector, customer concentration, equipment condition, and growth trajectory. Energy-adjacent manufacturers — those serving the oil and gas sector — may command different multiples depending on the energy cycle and associated cyclicality risk. CMBB conducts comprehensive valuations that account for both earnings power and asset value, and we present our methodology transparently.
Preparing Your Texas Manufacturing Business for Sale
The key preparation steps for a Texas manufacturing business sale are: organising three to five years of clean financial statements, documenting customer contracts and their renewal status, cataloguing all equipment with maintenance records and replacement values, reviewing environmental compliance (particularly relevant for Texas manufacturers in the chemical and petrochemical sectors), and ensuring key employees are retained through the transition. CMBB's team can help identify and address preparation gaps before the formal sale process begins.
Why CMBB Is the Right Buyer for Texas Manufacturers
CMBB acquires manufacturing businesses to hold and operate for the long term. We do not acquire to flip, consolidate, or strip assets. Our acquisition philosophy, developed by Leonardo Obodoeke and informed by the institutional experience of advisor Darie Urbanky — former President and COO of CI Financial Corp. — is built on the belief that every business deserves a steward who will honour its legacy. For Texas manufacturing business owners, CMBB offers a direct, respectful, and commission-free exit path.
