About the Business
Well-est Sydney-based importer & wholesale distributor of food / beverage packaging & related consumables. Operating since 2007, they supply a broad range of more than 150 products including coffee paper cups, food, catering bags, paper and boxes, napkins, paper towels, cleaning products, cling wrap, garbage bags, thermal rolls etc to cafes, coffee roasters, restaurants, takeaway outlets & corporate customers across Australia.
Point of difference is its specialisation in custom-printed coffee cups, cake boxes and cafe packaging. By importing the majority of its products directly from est overseas manufacturers, they achieve gross margins well above industry norm while offering competitive prices and the ability to brand cups, boxes, bags, napkins & greaseproof paper to each customer’s design.
Owners retiring after 19 yrs; extended training & handover period available.
Highly diversified customer base—approximately 240 active customers with the largest representing only 9% of sales & the top 10 around 30%
Roughly 65% of customers retained 5+ years and 25% for 3+ years; long-term safety-stock supply agreements with coffee roasters and multi-year contracts across cafe/store customers.
Growing, above-average margins — gross margin expanded from 32.9% to 38.4% between FY2024 and FY2025, driven by direct importing and customised, branded product (35%–55% on key lines versus ~30% for many competitors).
Defensible niche — specialist in custom-printed coffee cups, cake boxes and cafe packaging — a relationship-driven, design-led offer that large national suppliers serve less personally.
Single-use plastics regulation is forcing the cafe sector toward certified compostable cups and packaging; the business already operates a compostable ‘Bio Solutions’ range and is HACCP certified.
Low owner reliance — the business is run day-to-day by three full-time staff with two owners working part-time (~50 hours combined) — a structure readily replaced by a single working owner / manager.
Est systems & e-commerce — 12+ years on MYOB for stock, invoicing & accounts; listed on the Ordermentum platform; e-commerce-enabled website.
Secure premises — the warehouse is owned by the vendors, who will make a market-rent lease available to the purchaser — offering long-term tenure and certainty.
Sound financials — strong cash generation, minimal bad debts and a debt-free trading position.
