Logging Business
Tasmanian logging operation reaping a windfall harvest
Located in the north west of Tasmania, this logging business is your chance to
step into a well-established operation boasting a 39-year history and lucrative
contracts that generate an impressive $5.5 million annual turnover.
Its principal client is one of the largest timber supply companies in Australia.
For almost four decades, the business has supplied harvesting manpower and equipment for the company’s hardwood plantation’s in Tasmania’s northwest.
With a 222,000 ton quota, the business offers excellent profitability in an industry that continues to go from strength to strength. The logging and timber industry continues to be a mainstay of the Tasmanian economy and one of the foremost timber producing regions in Australia.
Demand for hardwood from sustainable sources such as the plantations continues to escalate and logging’s strong history in the region ensures the availability of expert manpower.
The asking price includes the business’ 3-acre property and facilities. Positioned just outside of a coastal regional town, the comprehensive facilities include fuel depot and fully equipped workshop. With its own mechanics and welders, the workshop ensures the business’ extensive plant and equipment and fleet of vehicles continued to be maintained in excellent condition. With its easily accessible position, the property is a central point from which to service the surrounding plantations.
A drive along the coastline will reveal why Tasmania is often regarded as one of the most picturesque locations in Australia to visit. Explore the quaint towns that dot the seaside or throw in a line and enjoy a spot of fishing.
Nearby are the major provincial centres of Devonport or Launceston, fabulous destinations for that extra bit of shopping.
The business would suit a new owner with a forestry background with the current owners willing to assist with a transition period. Run as a family interest for its almost four decade history, the business would also suit a family looking to relocate to what is a stunning and peaceful region of Australia.
