This Adelaide based business was established in 1989 and today is one of Australia’s leading suppliers of small unit water treatment systems to the municipal, wastewater and recycling water markets. It has sold over 2,000 units and has a large established customer base.

The business designs, manufactures, distributes, installs and services high quality water treatment equipment and supplies spare parts for small systems and medium sized water treatment projects.

The business has established a strong niche position in the small system segment of the market and offers a unique opportunity to further grow and develop the business. The business predominantly sells directly to end customers, including contractors and installers. The Business also operates an agent and distributor network across Australia and internationally and has distributors in place serving the markets of Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia.

The business’ inventory, certain fixed assets and goodwill are to be sold as a going concern. The business has opportunities for growth in existing and new markets. The introduction of a focused management team is expected to ensure the realisation of these market and operational opportunities.

The key strengths of the business include:

1. Service and Product knowledge: Extensive knowledge of contemporary and innovative equipment design and fabrication techniques;
2. Supply Capability: Local workshop using locally sourced and direct importation of overseas sourced parts to a wide range of customers within a flexible timeframe;
3. Market Offer: The design and fabrication service based on its depth of knowledge ensures that a complete solution can be offered to the customer;
4. Flexibility and speed to market: The range of workshop equipment and setup provides capacity to undertake both small and medium unit fabrication to customer’s demands and future requirements for new service;
5. Supply Arrangements: Strong relationships are in place to maintain low levels of inventory and to deliver low cost raw materials to the Business; and
6. Validated Designs: Pre validated equipment designs that are a unique offering in the municipal market.
