Key Investment Highlights

• Two freehold industrial properties included in the sale
• Purpose-configured production facility with specialist infrastructure
• Long-established client base across Queensland, interstate and export markets
• Services manufacturing, defence-linked, medical, marine, automotive and engineering sectors
• Strong barriers to entry due to technical skill, equipment, compliance requirements and client relationships
• Multiple competitors have exited the market, creating further demand and pricing strength
• Established team and operational systems in place
• Vendor transition support available for a suitable buyer

Business Overview

The business provides specialist aluminium surface treatment and metal finishing services for component manufacturers and industrial clients requiring quality, durability, corrosion resistance, decorative finishes and technical surface preparation. The operation has been established at its current location for more than 16 years and benefits from over 40 years of combined industry experience. It has developed strong repeat demand from manufacturers and industrial clients who require consistent quality and reliable turnaround.

The business operates from two freehold industrial units, giving a buyer security of tenure, control over specialist infrastructure, and long-term asset backing. This is a major advantage in a sector where suitable premises, trade waste infrastructure, power supply and production layout can be difficult and costly to replicate.

Industries Serviced

• The business services a diverse client base across:
• General manufacturing
• Automotive and racing components
• Defence-linked manufacturing
• Medical equipment
• Marine and saltwater applications
• Engineering
• Construction hardware
• Aerospace and helicopter modification
• Interstate and export clients

This diversity reduces reliance on any one industry and gives the business multiple avenues for future growth.

Property & Infrastructure

The sale includes two freehold industrial properties located in a key South-East Queensland industrial corridor.

The properties have been configured for specialist metal finishing production and include production, storage and expansion capacity. The premises provide the buyer with operational control from day one, with no lease renewal risk or landlord exposure.

Specialist infrastructure includes production tanks, power supply, racking systems, process equipment, trade waste systems, chemical storage and related industrial assets required for ongoing operation.

Growth Opportunities

• A buyer has several clear growth opportunities, including:
• Reviewing legacy client pricing to current market levels
• Expanding interstate manufacturer relationships
• Increasing production utilisation through extended hours or Saturday production
• Developing export opportunities
• Adding complementary industrial services
• Leveraging existing demand from clients seeking secure local supply

There is also an opportunity for a manufacturing or engineering group to integrate the business into an existing operation and capture margin currently outsourced to third-party finishing providers.

Reason for Sale

The current owners are seeking to transition after many years of successful operation. The business is being offered while performance remains strong, allowing a suitable buyer to step into an established, profitable and well-regarded industrial operation.
