Manufacturing & Industrial · Surrey, BC

Sell your manufacturing business in Surrey

Canadian manufacturing has been quietly hot for M&A since 2020. Reshoring, supply-chain de-risking, and PE consolidation have driven multiples up 1–2 turns. Well-run manufacturers with $1M+ EBITDA, recurring customer relationships, and documented systems sell at 4x–7x EBITDA — sometimes higher for specialty / IP-protected products.

In Surrey: Newton, Whalley, Guildford, Cloverdale, Fleetwood, and South Surrey each have distinct business ecosystems. Trucking and logistics dominate; food production, distribution, and trades are deep secondary markets.
