On offer by Expression of Interest, is a Victorian-based steel fabrication, building design and construction company producing $55.5 million in revenue in 2022 with a strong history of sales and profits, delivering the best-built buildings for domestic, rural, and industrial sites with advanced engineering and design expertise for big metal buildings.

Steel Building Fabrications and Construction deals directly with the public from their offices in Victoria for kit form sales and design, supply, and build for larger shed/warehouse and industrial projects. Through their network of resellers and distributors spread across Victoria and the border of New South Wales, as well as near the border with South Australia and in North and South of Tasmania, they focus on the sale and installation of kit form products.

Operating from purpose-built factories, strategic supply advantages exist through manufacturing and supplying key products in the form of zinc/gal and colour-coated steel cladding, roofing, guttering, purlins, etc., via a partner business.

The key features of the business are

- Direct to-customer sales for supply and build for larger shed/warehouse and industrial projects.

- Design and build expertise for quality kit form sheds and capabilities for larger bespoke industrial projects.

- Large network of resellers and distributors.

- A solid base of Builders and Developers dealing with them regularly.

- Separate entities used for build purposes to alleviate risks associated with on-site buildings and their manufacturing business, as well as insurance costs and premium rates.

- A long history of solid profits established as a significant business in Victoria’s steel manufacturing and construction industry.

The key investment strengths

The current owners have invested in and built strategic assets within the business, in particular right across the value chain from purpose-built factories, manufacturing capabilities and equipment (including the capacity to expand) to design expertise utilising their quality manufacture, project management and construction skills and experience and, over the past few years, a distribution network of resellers. All of this has enabled the business to maintain its quality and service.

The company is of sufficient scale and breadth of input across the value chain to ensure it can trade profitably and competitively in varying market conditions. The business controls its sales to meet its obligations to its customers and resellers/distributors.

The upside potential for this business is significant. The existing model is based around Regional Victoria, with room to grow. However, there is ample opportunity for interstate expansion through increased resellers/distributors and perhaps more fabrication capacity through increased shifts and new interstate factories. Whether the interstate development was handled organically or through interstate purchases, the business assets will provide the core to any expansion.

The company is suitable for an existing operator in the same industry, perhaps from interstate looking to expand into Victoria and industry participants looking to expand into areas of the value chain that it does not yet have sufficient expertise, assets, or capacity. The business is also ideally positioned as a model for interstate expansion. The company would also suit an overseas entrant to the market or a private equity firm looking to corporatise and expand this family-owned business.
