- Long-established client base across Queensland, interstate and export markets
- Services manufacturing, defence-linked, medical, marine, automotive and engineering sectors

Business Overview
The business provides specialist aluminium surface treatment and metal finishing services for component manufacturers and industrial clients requiring quality, durability, corrosion resistance, decorative finishes and technical surface preparation. The operation has been established at its current location for more than 16 years and benefits from over 40 years of combined industry experience. It has developed strong repeat demand from manufacturers and industrial clients who require consistent quality and reliable turnaround.
The business operates from two freehold industrial units, giving a buyer security of tenure, control over specialist infrastructure, and long-term asset backing. This is a major advantage in a sector where suitable premises, trade waste infrastructure, power supply and production layout can be difficult and costly to replicate.
