Hytech Processing and 700 Centinela Ave
Prime Industrial Property + Established Coating & Printing Business
Marketing description
Hytech Processing presents a rare opportunity to acquire both a long-established industrial coatings business and the underlying industrial real estate in the heart of Southern California’s aerospace and manufacturing corridor. Located at 700 N Centinela Ave, the property and business combination offers a unique owner-user or strategic acquisition opportunity that would be extremely difficult to replicate in today’s regulatory environment.
For more than 40 years, Hytech Processing has provided specialized coating and silkscreening services to aerospace, industrial, and manufacturing customers throughout Southern California. The company’s capabilities include high solids liquid coatings, waterborne coatings, MIL-SPEC coatings, epoxy and polyurethane applications, powder coating, EMI shielding, phosphate cleaning, precision masking, and silk screening on both metal and plastic components.
The business benefits from valuable grandfathered SCAQMD permits, long-standing vendor relationships, experienced employees, and a fully operational industrial setup designed specifically for specialized coating operations. All major equipment is owned free and clear with no equipment leases, creating additional long-term value for a buyer.
The industrial facility is strategically positioned with convenient access to LAX, the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and major freeway systems serving the broader Los Angeles industrial market. The existing infrastructure and operational improvements provide immediate functionality for coating, aerospace, manufacturing, automotive, or specialty industrial users.
This offering provides multiple potential paths for a buyer, including continued operation and expansion of the existing business, integration into an existing aerospace or manufacturing platform, or long-term repositioning of the real estate as industrial supply within infill Southern California remains constrained.
Opportunities to acquire an operating coatings business together with compliant industrial real estate and grandfathered operational permits are exceptionally rare in the California market.
