Reason for Sale
After 22 years the owners have reached retirement age. The business was established from scratch, all equipment was imported from Italy to ensure the production of high-quality memorial photoceramics. This has created a regular customer base that provides profitable, steady income. The owners would like to hand over their legacy to someone who can take the business to the next level while continuing to provide a high-quality service to the existing loyal client base.
About the Business
The business creates ceramic photos which are used in cemeteries and memorial monuments.
These are produced by a specialized process that begins with photo editing, printing with special ceramic toners, and transferring printed images onto ceramic plaques. The plaques are then kilned to make the finished product fit and durable to withstand outside conditions.
The client base is Australia-wide and made up of cemeteries, pet cemeteries, monumental masons, and families who would like to commemorate loved ones.
Our large client lists order photos each week. One-off customers also make purchases through word of mouth.
Few competitors in Australia have the skills or equipment necessary to produce these photoceramics.
This business is very well established and has been consistently profitable over the years.
History
Started in 2001. We travelled to italy and sourced the process and system from monumental masons there. We still have contacts and support direct from Italy if required to ensure the quality of our product meets italian standards. Our raw materials are purchased directly from Italy also.
