A rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, long-established industrial sharpening and sawmilling supply business based in South East Queensland, servicing the timber, sawmilling, woodworking, metal fabrication and abattoir sectors locally and nationally.
Trading for over 25 years, the business delivers precision bandsaw blade sharpening, knife and tooling sharpening, and saw doctoring services, alongside the supply of portable and industrial sawmills, saw blades, machine parts and consumables. Revenue is well diversified across recurring sharpening services and product sales - FY2025 turnover of approximately $2.35M, up strongly from $1.87M two years prior - underpinned by a broad, loyal repeat customer base with no reliance on any single client.
Operating from a purpose-configured South East Queensland workshop within an established industrial precinct, the business serves customers through on-site workshop services, trade accounts and shipped orders Australia-wide. It holds an authorised dealer agreement with a recognised industry brand, providing access to premium equipment, branded blades and consumables on favourable terms - a genuine competitive moat.
The business is owner-operated with an experienced, technically skilled team and documented systems, supporting a smooth handover and continuity. The sale is due to genuine owner retirement.
This is a defensive, cash-generative, essential-services business with clear growth pathways - expanded online and national distribution, additional service capacity, and product-mix optimisation - most achievable using existing infrastructure.
