WesTrac Group provides exposure to the high growth resources sector in Australia

  • Western Australia has extensive mineral deposits and is the third largest producer of iron ore globally.
  • In New South Wales, WesTrac Group's operations are levered to the state's large and growing coal mining sector.

WesTrac Group's business model provides recurring revenue from product support

  • WesTrac Group provides complete equipment solutions and services for its customers over the life cycle of the equipment. The initial sale is the beginning of an ongoing customer relationship. As the machine population grows so too does the product support revenue opportunity.
  • Product support (servicing and parts) is considered a recurring, more stable and higher margin revenue stream for WesTrac Group, as customers require ongoing maintenance, in all prevailing market conditions, to keep their machines operating in the field.

Exposure to National Hire and Coates Hire

  • WesTrac Group owns 66% of National Hire which in turn has a 46% interest in Coates Hire, the leading Australian general equipment hire company.
  • WesTrac Group supplies a range of equipment to Coates Hire, and National Hire is its preferred supplier of lighting towers. The investment in National Hire and Coates Hire provides WesTrac Group with significant strategic benefits.
