Description

This listing presents a profitable, well-established hardwood lumber and cross tie business located in Louisiana. With annual revenues consistently between $4.5 to $5 million and an average EBITDA exceeding $500,000, the business demonstrates strong financial performance and a stable revenue stream, primarily driven by its crosstie segment. The operation was initially designed for mat production (crane mats, oil field mats) and has successfully pivoted to focus on crossties over the past 12 years. Recent growth in pipeline and industrial construction has created a surge in demand for construction mats, positioning the sawmill to adapt its operations and potentially double sales with minimal additional investment. The business benefits from a diverse customer base, a robust supply chain ensuring year-round hardwood inventory, and a skilled local workforce. Approximately 10 acres of real estate are included in the sale, offering potential for future expansion. The owner, an experienced industry professional, is willing to stay on as a manager/operator to ensure a smooth transition and is selling due to retirement. This is a prime opportunity for a buyer looking to acquire a solid manufacturing business with significant growth potential.
