337m² Freehold Industrial Asset with 40-Year Established Family Business

Potential

Significant potential exists to grow revenue by expanding beyond the current anchor customer and actively marketing to manufacturers, engineering firms and trade clients across South East Queensland. The workshop has the machinery and physical capacity to accommodate approximately two additional tradespeople. A buyer could also introduce a second shift or weekend work, pursue new fabrication and machining contracts, and make greater use of the established part-code and drawing library.

Skills

Employees

The business is operated by three family members: two full-time workshop operators and one part-time administrator working three days per week. Two owners are willing to remain during a negotiated transition period, while one intends to retire.

Reason for Sale

One family member is ready to retire

About the Business

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold industrial property in an established Brisbane precinct, together with the long-running manufacturing operation that has traded from the site for over 40 years.

The property stands firmly on its own fundamentals, while the established business offers additional value and genuine growth potential for a buyer with fabrication, engineering or manufacturing experience

THE PROPERTY— The Core of This Opportunity
- 337m² freehold industrial unit, zoned General Industry
- The largest unit in its complex — comparable sales in the same complex over the past 12 months range from 147m² to 221m²
- Priced at $3,858/m², below the $4,325/m² average of four recent arm’s-length sales in the same complex
- No landlord, no lease renewal risk, no relocation risk — full control to modify, expand or re-fit
- Can be held long-term as a standalone industrial asset independent of the trading outcome

THE BUSINESS
A long-established, family-operated steel fabrication, welding, CNC machining and component manufacturing operation, producing custom and repeat componentry from customer drawings — brackets, frames, stands, fabricated assemblies, small production runs and general engineering work.

Plant and equipment included. All plant is owned outright, including a Milltronics VM2515 CNC milling machine, CNC profile cutter with plasma power source, guillotine, brake press, secondary CNC mill, lathe, large drill, automatic band saw, welding plant, paint booth, forklift, truck, ute and general workshop equipment.

Transition support: The sale is prompted by the planned retirement of one family owner. The other two family members are prepared to remain on agreed employment terms for as long as reasonably required, supporting:

Why Property and Business Together
Asset backing — the freehold represents 74% of the asking price and does not depend on the trading outcome
Security of tenure — no landlord, no renewal risk, no forced relocation
Operational control — freedom to modify, expand or re-fit without approval
Exit flexibility — property and business can be separated by a future owner
Stock at value and work-in-progress are additional to the asking price, assessed at settlement.
