Description
Established in 1986, this certified aerospace metals distributor supplies specialty and hard to find materials to international aircraft, helicopter and defense manufacturers. Product lines include aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, alloy steel, nickel alloys, and copper and brass alloys. That includes obsolete specification and nonstandard grades that typical mill and distributor channels do not stock.
The company holds AS9120B and ISO 9001:2015 certifications. These take years to earn, and many aerospace buyers require them of their suppliers. Every order ships with a certificate of conformance and mill test reports for full traceability.
The business operates from an approximately 5,470 sq ft leased warehouse in Palm Beach County, with convenient access to Interstate 95, two international airports and two deepwater ports. It has three full time employees.
This is an asset sale that includes inventory and approximately $40,000 in furniture, fixtures and equipment, including a forklift and pickup truck. The retiring owner will provide a transition period and a non compete agreement.
Ideal buyers include an existing metals distributor, an aerospace supply chain company, or an individual with sales or management experience. Key growth opportunities include expanding into the U.S. aerospace and defense market, developing new customers and building a stronger online presence.

Facilities & Assets
Approx. 5,470 sq. ft. leased warehouse and office space in Delray Beach, located about one mile from the I-95 on and off ramp. The location supports easy trucking and freight logistics for domestic and overseas accounts, with Port Everglades approximately 28 miles south and PortMiami approximately 53 miles south. The lease runs through October 31, 2029.
The layout is efficient and turnkey: a fully furnished front office suite with reception, a private owner’s office and staff workstations, a records/conference area and a break room, plus a warehouse with a back stock room and a dedicated packing and shipping station.
Equipment included: Ford F-450 pickup, Clark 5,600 lb propane forklift, cantilever and vertical bar racking, steel shelving, saws, drill press, bench grinder, air compressors, platform scale and strapping carts, plus all office furniture, computers, printers and phones.
Support & Training
The Seller will provide a transition period onsite and training at no additional cost to familiarize the buyer with operations, suppliers and customers, and will sign a non-compete covering the U.S. and Europe. Additional transition support may be negotiated. The listing team will connect buyer with the Registrar who will outline the process for transferring the company's ISO 9001 and AS9120 certifications to the new ownership.
Market & Competition
Demand for aerospace metals remains strong, driven by ongoing commercial aviation and defense manufacturing and maintenance programs that need certified, fully traceable material. Its main competitors are large national metals service centers, which focus on high volume standard grades. This company wins on rare alloys, obsolete specifications and nonstandard materials, on small and urgent orders, and on more than 40 years of mill relationships and long term international customers.
Growth Opportunities
The biggest opportunity is the U.S. market, which the current owner has barely pursued. The company already holds AS9120 and ISO 9001 certifications, which are often required to supply domestic aerospace and defense manufacturers, MRO providers and airlines. A new owner who adds dedicated sales outreach, a stronger online presence and digital quoting could open a new revenue stream without disrupting the existing international accounts. The operation is already set up to scale, with an AI quoting tool built in house that has increased quoting volume fivefold. Further upside includes expanding into additional specialty alloys and value added processing services, and pursuing government and defense supply contracts.
Financing Options
No seller financing. Cash buyers preferred. Inventory and FF&E included in price.
