Based in Bendigo, this family-owned and operated wholesale hospitality packaging supply business offers potential buyers an exciting opportunity to take advantage of a steady seven-figure sales turnover and much more.

Post COVID-19, as the business landscape returns to the “new normal”, one question business owners and buyers alike are asking is “Is this business pandemic-proof?” For those looking to acquire a new business, it’s essential to be certain that the industry you select is one that can weather storms such as a global pandemic, and this packaging supply business checks that box with gold stars.

Trading strongly throughout 2020 and beyond, their product range became even more in demand with a significant uptick in other businesses on small and large scales requiring essential hygiene, sanitising, take-away food packaging and individually-wrapped items – in short, even the most eco-minded businesses needed to ensure that their packaging was safe for use across the pandemic.

This boost in sales inspired new product lines for the Regional Victoria business, which have now become some of their core and most-purchased categories which they have wisely capitalised on. Food service packaging, washroom and janitorial products, cleaning chemicals and even industrial and custom-printed packaging pull in impressive sales on a consistent basis.

A well-established business, they supply to a diverse customer base with a significant regional presence, servicing locations all the way up to 140km from their warehouse, with customers appreciating their consistent high-quality and vast product range, and they also extend their reach on an “as need” basis to clients in other regional towns.

With a team led by the current owner-operator as Managing Director, a customer-focused and experienced approach means a high level of service with every customer interaction, with a full-time staff member on sales and purchasing, a permanent part-time reception and administrative team member, a casual store worker and two full-time store workers and drivers to support their demand and cultivate repeat customers.

Priced at $1,650,000 + SAV, the working hours of this successful packaging supply business offer an appealing level of work-life balance to future owners with hours from 8 am – 4 pm Monday to Friday (closed weekends), with a consistent and tested level of trading across this window.
