About the business
This is a transport and logistics business in Mackay, Queensland, established in 1997, specialising in storage, transport and distribution of dangerous goods and 3PL operations. It is located very close to the Port of Mackay, where container facility upgrades are set to be operational by the end of 2026. The site is approved for dangerous goods and storage and serves existing customers, with capacity to use another 25% of warehouse space. The leasehold has over 12,000 in total space, with 9,000 sqm of container storage space available and an additional 1,600 sqm that may be added to a new lease. A long term General Manager is in place along with a small team of employees. The reason for sale is retirement after close to 30 years of operations. The broker reports that the business is poised for growth with the container port development already underway, and that its location suits import/export container operations.
