The business has built an impressive reputation on exceptional craftsmanship, innovative design, and materials that withstand Queensland's harshest elements.
Business Story
Safety and community well-being are paramount in mining towns throughout the Bowen Basin. Their heavy-duty shade structures provide essential protection at community parks, school playgrounds, sporting facilities, and public gathering spaces. They understand the unique challenges of mining environments, including wind resistance requirements. Local councils also partner with us because we understand their procurement processes, budgetary cycles, and stringent safety requirements. Their structures meet all relevant Australian standards and building codes, making approval processes seamless for planners and facility managers.
After 30 years of building this established business, retirement now beckons for the sellers. However, substantial growth opportunities remain, including the central accessibility to the Bowen Basin, which opens the business to the untapped mining market. Additionally, relocating to Mackay's major industrial hub in Paget will drive further growth, complemented by the additional requirements for shade structure business in that hot heavy environment.
Mackay Shade Sails is a fully self-reliant business that ticks all the boxes, with an engineer and certifier readily available to ensure essential compliance. The process begins with expert consultation, followed by custom design using Australian-made quality products and professional installation. All services are performed by in-house experienced and qualified teams that have completed projects ranging from small residential patios to extensive mining community recreation areas, guaranteeing perfect tensioning and secure anchoring.
Mackay Shade Sails currently operates from a 430m2 workshop in the coastal Mackay suburb of Slade Point which the business has leased since 2000, the premises has easy access and onsite parking.
Since its inception, the current owner of Mackay Shade Sails has devotedly nurtured and cultivated the business. With a steadfast commitment to delivering exceptional quality products and services, Mackay Shade Sails is now ready for an owner who shares a passion for maintaining its legacy.
