Are you considering retiring from your business?

Are you concerned about the legacy you'll leave behind?

Manufacturing Works' Ownership Transition Program can help!

Experience Matters

For over 35 years, our non-profit organization has focused on the needs of manufacturers. Our members asked us to create an exit strategy program that would be independent and informative. Designed from the ground up for manufacturing and manufacturing-related industry owners, our transition program focuses on the needs of the participants, whatever their plans:

  • New acquisitions
  • Next-generation onboarding
  • Management buyouts
  • Setting up an ESOP
  • New investors
  • Mergers
