Casting business for sale

Hope all is going well.
I have recently decided to retire from the casting end of my business and am looking to sell it.
The products are pretty well known and  would be ideal for a young, contemporary company to add to their product line.
I would appreciate your sharing the information.
Thank you
Best,
Judith
