Welding, fabrication and machinery hire, 15 years trading

About the business

This is a family-owned metal fabrication business in Queensland offering general, boilermaking and aluminium welding, custom fabrication and equipment rebuilds, skilled labour hire, machinery hire and welding supplies. It is based in the Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday region and serves the mining, construction and industrial sectors, with mobile and on site servicing alongside workshop capability. It has traded for more than fifteen years and has five revenue lines: welding, fabrication and rebuilds, labour hire, machinery hire and welding supplies. The team is 12 people including 8 qualified tradesmen, and the operating model does not depend on the current owner day to day. The current owner is stepping back for personal reasons. The broker reports that the reason for sale is genuine and not because the business is struggling. The broker reports that five complementary revenue lines spread risk, that the business sits in a sustained mining, construction and industrial demand corridor, and that mobile servicing is an edge over fixed workshop competitors. The broker reports room to grow by expanding welding supplies retail, growing the machinery hire fleet, tendering for larger resources contracts and building out digital marketing.
