The next generation already runs it, and the owner still holds it

01Bauer, Inc. Bristol, CT

Record Connecticut business registry: Bauer Holdings, LLC organized September 19, 2025 with Louis Auletta, Jr. and Michael Auletta as principals; company release of April 6, 2026 promoting Michael Auletta to president 6 Apr 2026

What it shows A 1916 Connecticut maker of aircraft component test equipment whose owner of 42 years registered a family holding company with Michael Auletta in September 2025, then promoted him to president in April 2026.

Who stays to run it Lou Auletta stays CEO and principal owner; Michael Auletta, with the company since 2015 and an owner by his own account, runs it as president, and another Auletta has been chief operating officer.

Size on record $35 million of revenue and 110 employees (May 2025 profile); $36 million and 110 employees (September 2025 profile). Inside the box, toward the top.

Growth on record About 10 percent a year for the past ten years and double-digit sales growth in 2025, both in the owner's words; record growth for three straight years per the company's April 2026 release.

Buy box Proprietary test equipment sold in more than 80 countries, no dominant customer named; Defense Department prime awards since mid-2024 of about $6.7 million, roughly a tenth of revenue. Watch: in-house machining, a general manager hired in July 2025 who led his previous company through its sale, and an exclusive service partner owned by a private-equity firm.

What it does not prove Margins and profit are private. The holding company's purpose is not public; it can precede an estate plan or a sale.

Who would decide Verified: Lou Auletta, CEO and principal owner (Hartford Business, September 2025); Michael Auletta, President (company release, April 2026)

A family team buying smaller competitors while the next generation runs the departments

02Braman Termite & Pest Elimination Agawam, MA

Record Braman Termite & Pest Elimination acquires SWAT Pest Protection; the companies began operating as one on September 1, 2026 (company news) 1 Sep 2026

What it shows A family pest-control company founded in 1890 folded in a second acquired route business in September 2026, after Fusion Pest Management in August 2025, and hired a general manager in October 2026.

Who stays to run it Third-generation owner Jerry Lazarus with his three sons in the operating, finance and sales seats; the new general manager was announced by the son who runs operations.

Size on record No headcount or revenue published. One of its branches alone runs four supervisors and 20 technicians, so total staff may approach 150; confirm before calling.

Growth on record Two tuck-in acquisitions in 13 months, the first adding about 10 percent to its residential footprint; no revenue or profit series is public, and part of the growth is bought.

Buy box Recurring route service with no plant, no government contracts on USAspending and no dominant customer seen; route pest control commonly clears a 15 percent margin. Watch: the book leans residential, and the sector is being consolidated by private-equity platforms.

What it does not prove Size, margin and the commercial share are private; nothing public says why the general manager was hired.

Who would decide Verified: Jerry Lazarus, President and third-generation owner (company team page; sole principal in the Connecticut registry)

An owner who keeps acquiring, with a hired president beside him

03JN White Perry, NY

Record Rochester Business Journal, Best Family-Owned Businesses 2025: JN White (June 27, 2025); company post of September 9, 2026 on its approved NY THRIVE project with RIT 27 Jun 2025

What it shows A 1960 family maker of membrane switches, user interfaces and printed heaters whose owner says he has bought four companies and will keep acquiring, and which announced an approved printed-electronics project with RIT in September 2026.

Size on record 120 employees (Rochester Business Journal, June 2025, and the company's July 2025 post). Inside the box.

Growth on record Grown to 120 employees through four acquisitions and new product lines, by the owner's account; no revenue or profit series is public.

Buy box Proprietary printed-electronics capability with ISO and ITAR certification; no federal prime contracts on USAspending. Watch: much of the work is built to customer drawings, which can run job-shop margins, and defense work through larger contractors is a share it does not publish.

What it does not prove Margins, the defense share and top-customer share are private; the president's title is last confirmed in December 2024.

Who would decide Verified: Randy White, Owner and CEO (Rochester Business Journal, June 2025; chairman in the New York corporation record)

Each row names one public record and what it shows. Earnings, margins and profit history are private and no public record shows them; the size and growth lines are the closest public evidence. A record ranks research priority. It does not prove purchase intent, that an owner intends to sell, a valuation, or an open process. Records were opened on 22 Oct 2026; reopen before calling.
