This established business is a leader in the restoration, manufacturing, and distribution of OEM automotive literature, serving individual auto enthusiasts, professional mechanics, and wholesale distributors. With licensing agreements from three of the world’s largest automakers, the company produces and sells OEM manuals that its competitors cannot legally manufacture without such licenses. Given the difficulty in securing this type of licensing, this company has the very appealing position as a dominant provider in this global market.
Originally founded as a reseller, the company has transitioned to in-house manufacturing as a way to maximize margins and maintain quality control. Today, it operates primarily as an e-commerce and wholesale business, selling through Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and its own website, while maintaining strong partnerships with auto parts retailers and distributors. Its streamlined printing, fulfillment, and proprietary restoration processes lead to a vastly superior product and give it a distinct competitive advantage.
With a lean operational team, the business is highly efficient while maintaining strong revenue and profitability. The company is currently housed in a facility that can support continued growth and expansion into opportunities such as increasing its catalog of OEM manuals, digitizing additional assets, and exploring new licensing agreements.
This is a turnkey acquisition opportunity that requires no specialized industry experience, making it an ideal fit for buyers interested in automotive, publishing, e-commerce, wholesale distribution, or light manufacturing.
