S-1996 KAD Family-Owned and Operated Blind and Shutter Manufacturing Company (US)



Business Description:  This Blind & Shutter Company has been a trusted seller and manufacturer of window and door coverings in the Mid-Atlantic for over 19 years. The company manufactures top-quality, competitively-priced, blinds, shades, and plantation shutters covering French doors, odd shaped windows, sliding glass doors, entertainment centers and more! .

Distribution:  The primary market consists of specific counties in the Mid-Atlantic. However, as the population grows in the area, the potential for growth (especially in coastal areas where plantation shutters are a big necessity), is enormous.  Currently, the company focuses on retail sales to home-owners. However, at one point the company was a major supplier for a local competitor as well as builders.

Operational Strengths:  Very hands–on approach to business and customer service. Materials consist of containers of Poly-vinyl purchased in pre-fabricated slats. The supply-chain for materials is solid. The manufacturing facility operates with very lean staffing for production, including machines for cutting, drilling, and stapling. In–house manufacturing and processing aides in quality control oversight. The facility currently operates at 90% capacity with one labor shift. 

Owners have lowered cost of materials by 50% with flat sales performance - increasing profits by 50% over the past year.
Shutters, blinds and solar shades are competitively priced based on the custom order’s size and quantity.

The Transaction:  The Owners have been business owners in some capacity for over 30 years and are ready for a lifestyle change. They’ve dedicated the last 8 years to developing and advancing the blind and shutter business and have now decided it’s time to move on. They do not have a successor and therefore intend to sell 100% of the business.

They consider their employees extended family and want to ensure they leave the business in excellent condition with the new owner. They are willing to stay on during the transition for a period of time to help cultivate plans for growth and expansion.
