AliKat Group acquires established UK engineering and fabrication businesses and owns them for the long term. For owners planning retirement or succession, we offer a route that protects what you have built — your name, your people and your customer relationships.
Our ownership model
We are not a private equity fund and we do not buy businesses to restructure and resell them. Companies that join AliKat Group keep their identity, their workshop and their team, while gaining the backing of a group with shared engineering expertise, investment capacity and commercial support. Our earliest company has been trading continuously since 1976 — continuity is the point.
What we look for
- Established UK engineering, fabrication or precision manufacturing businesses
- A skilled, stable team and a proven customer base
- Owners seeking retirement, succession or a long-term home for their business
- Profitable operations with genuine engineering capability — not turnaround situations
How the process works
Every conversation starts in confidence, owner to owner. We move at your pace: an initial discussion, a straightforward review of the business, a fair offer, and a handover planned around your people and customers. No pressure, no auction process, and no obligation at any stage.
