Established Mackay Engineering & Machining Business
About this opportunity
Acquire a long-established engineering and machine-shop business with an extensive mix of CNC and conventional machining, welding, lifting and workshop equipment. Offered at $860,000 walk-in walk-out, this is a tangible operating platform for an experienced trade buyer or an established industrial business seeking additional capability in the Mackay region.
Operating for approximately 23 years under its current owner, this regional Queensland engineering and machining business has been built around practical workshop capability. The included equipment schedule spans CNC machining, conventional lathes and milling, drilling, welding, material handling, workshop storage and a broad tooling and consumables base. The result is an opportunity centered on real production assets and established operating history, rather than a concept-stage venture.
Business Story
The sale offers a buyer the opportunity to acquire an established engineering and machining operation together with a wide-ranging workshop equipment and tooling package. The mix of CNC and conventional machines may suit a buyer who wants an existing production base, while the broader welding, lifting, drilling and workshop assets may appeal to an industrial operator looking to add or internalise machining capability. The transaction is offered at $860,000 WIWO, with final inclusions to be confirmed in the contract documentation.
The business operates in the Mackay region, where mining, construction and manufacturing are among the largest employing industries. This provides relevant regional context for an engineering and machining acquisition without disclosing the exact premises in public marketing.
Asking price: $860,000 WIWO. Detailed financial information is available to qualified parties through Business Sales Group, subject to the required confidentiality and enquiry process.
To discuss this established engineering and machining opportunity, contact Business Sales Group and register your interest. Further information will be made available to qualified parties in accordance with the campaign’s confidentiality process.

Phil started his working career in purchasing with large and multi-national companies in Sydney.
A family relocation to Bowen in 1974 was the catalyst to owning his own business.
Phil has been in various businesses from Pest Control to Delicatessen/Takeaway and has for the last 39 years built a wholesale business that has served Bowen, Whitsundays, Mackay and the Coalfields, from 1 truck and himself to 6 trucks and 15 employees.
This has given Phil a very solid knowledge of the area from Bowen to Rockhampton and what it takes to thrive in business there.
Phil has a strong knowledge of business and business practices built through the process of growing his own business as well as time spent on State Franchise Council and dealing with the many changing government policies in those 39 years.
The process of selling his own business has shown Phil the real need for a locally based business broker, easily contacted and heavily focused on the Central Queensland area, which has led to his involvement in CQ Business Brokers.
