MBT Group Holdings is building an innovation led industrial acquisition platform focused on fragmented essential service sectors.
We acquire owner operated industrial and facilities related service businesses through a disciplined origination process designed to identify proprietary off market opportunities ahead of formal sale processes. The focus is on businesses with stable demand, strong local positioning, and underdeveloped operational discipline.
Our acquisition approach prioritises indicators commonly overlooked by traditional buyers. These include regional service density, asset intensity, customer dependency concentration, operating maturity, and relative market positioning. This allows MBT to concentrate exclusively on businesses with durable cash generation and defensible local market presence, typically producing EBITDA between £500,000 and £5 million.
Each opportunity is assessed using internally controlled valuation and underwriting frameworks developed specifically for industrial service operators. These frameworks emphasise cash conversion reliability, asset support requirements, workforce structure, and operating resilience rather than generic financial templates.
This methodology enables MBT to execute repeatable acquisitions with controlled downside risk while building a scalable portfolio of essential service businesses capable of sustained performance.
MBT Group Holdings was established to modernise fragmented industrial service sectors through disciplined acquisition and operational execution. The platform focuses on essential service businesses where structural inefficiencies limit performance rather than demand.
Rather than deploying passive capital, MBT Group Holdings operates an integrated acquisition platform that systematically identifies, acquires, and upgrades industrial service companies. Each business is assessed and managed using proprietary sourcing logic, controlled valuation frameworks, and standardised operational benchmarking built specifically for industrial operators.
Our vision is to build a scalable portfolio of industrial service businesses that benefit from consistent decision making, improved margin visibility, and resilient cash flow generation. MBT focuses on transforming founder led operations into professionally governed enterprises capable of sustained growth and long term durability.
This approach enables repeatable expansion across core industrial service sectors including HVAC, facilities related services, and essential maintenance operations, without reliance on speculative demand or cyclical exposure.
