Steel Fabricator For Complex Industrial and Commercial Projects

Clayton Capital Partners is pleased to exclusively represent CO286 (the “Company”) in the sale of its business. CO286 is a Texas-based fabricator of structural steel for large, award-winning, highly complex industrial and commercial projects throughout the U.S.


• Long Resume of Successfully Completed Projects – The Company’s long list of projects, completed on time and on budget, distinguishes it from other steel fabricators.


• Independence From Low-Bid Procurement – Due to the nature and quality of its work and outstanding reputation among general contractors, the Company does not compete on a low-bid basis.


• Project Management Experience – The Company’s deep project expertise enables it to solve the fabrication challenges that one-of-a-kind projects demand.


• Proactive, Cost-Saving Approach – The Company is known for putting more engineering resources into its bids than competitors. This approach results in fewer change orders and back-end contingencies.


• State-Of-The-Art Equipment – CO286 has made significant investments in state-of-the-art robotics and automated systems that substantially increase the amount of steel the Company can fabricate, improve shop efficiency and decrease waste.


• Extensive Shop Capacity – Once fully online, new automated systems will increase production capacity by an estimated 50% and expand profit margins by reducing waste and unnecessary material movement. With the new equipment in the testing phase and only partially usable, management has verified an increase in production capacity of 30 percent.
