Incorporated in 2013, Aaron Industries Ltd manufactures Elevators and Elevators parts and Stainless -Steel press plates
The company benefits from backward integration into stainless steel polishing, which provides a cost and quality advantage over regional assemblers. This is corroborated by stable EBITDA margins near 19% despite significant capacity expansion and inflationary pressures.
Management has focused heavily on aggressive capacity expansion, specifically the Unit 3 facility and Salvagnini automation line, to drive volume growth. While this has increased debt and depreciation, it is aimed at capturing a larger share of the domestic infrastructure boom.
The aggressive capacity expansion at Unit 3, funded by increased leverage, became a weight around the company's neck when the domestic infrastructure boom slowed. Rising finance costs and depreciation charges cannibalized the thin 7% net margins, while the high inventory levels—originally a hedge against supply chain issues—led to significant write-downs as demand cooled. The geographic concentration in a single region proved fatal when local regulatory shifts or logistical bottlenecks disrupted the primary manufacturing hub, leaving the company with idle, expensive automation lines and no path to service its debt.
