A rare opportunity to acquire one of Australia's most defensible niche industrial wholesale and manufacturing businesses. Patent-protected IP, real barriers to entry that competitors cannot easily replicate, and a deeply embedded customer base across multiple industries.
Established close to four decades ago, this second generation, Sydney-based industrial liquid filtration specialist has built one of the most resilient operations in its segment. Operating across manufacturing, mining, wastewater treatment, food and beverage, packaging, and recycling, the business has weathered forty years of market cycles and emerged with structurally locked-in customer relationships. After more than 2 decades at the helm, the current owner is seeking a successor.
What makes this business stand out:
- Patent-protected centrifuge IP, with proprietary in-house tooling and moulds that deliver less than half the lead time on competitors sourcing offshore, at roughly one-third the landed cost.
- Location-flexible operations. Customer relationships are managed by phone and email, manufacturing is outsourced to local fabricators, and on-site equipment requirements are minimal. The business can continue to operate from any suitably sized industrial premises, providing flexibility for buyers based outside Sydney.
- Approximately 80% recurring revenue, drawn from over 100 active customers across six industries. The longest relationships extend over a decade, with structurally high switching costs.
- Lean and profitable. Two owners plus one warehouse employee, operating from a 300sqm Sydney industrial facility.
- Approximately $1.3M revenue with gross profit margins above 60% with strong net profit margins, well above industrial sector norms.
- Multiple growth lanes ready for activation. The current owner has deliberately maintained a lifestyle-scale operation, leaving untapped opportunities in chemical and polymer supply, international expansion through the established agent network, and emerging adjacent industries (3D printing, battery manufacturing, biofuels, renewable energy).
- Freehold property available alongside the business at circa $1.9M, or the business can be acquired separately with lease-back arrangement.
- Owner committed to a structured handover. Established supplier relationships and systemised operations make this an unusually low-risk transition for the incoming owner.
Asking price: $2.6M plus SAV (stock at value approximately $240k).
Plus freehold property optional, offers around $1.9M.
Ideally suited to strategic acquirers in industrial filtration or adjacent categories, industrial roll-up groups seeking a defensible bolt-on with patent IP, or sophisticated owner-operators with engineering or industrial background.
NDA required for the full Information Memorandum. All enquiries treated in strict confidence.
