Aluminium specialist, Capral, is set to strengthen its national supply chain footprint.
Capral has agreed to acquire Comsupply, a privately held aluminium systems and hardware distributor based in Perth, Western Australia, which generates approx. $15 million in annual revenue.
“Comsupply is a well-established and respected business in the WA market, and this acquisition provides Capral with a strong platform to expand our aluminium systems and hardware offering,” said Capral Divisional General Manager – Capral Building Systems, Barry Lunn.
“We see significant opportunity to leverage Comsupply’s local presence and product range, particularly the QRK partition systems, to grow our footprint and serve our customers in Western Australia and with plans to expand in the future.”
The deal is part of Capral’s strategy to expand its national specification capability, which may involve establishing or enhancing logistics channels across Australia. This includes road freight, warehousing, and possibly 3PL (third-party logistics) partnerships.
Comsupply already services more than 350 accounts in WA, so maintaining and growing this customer base will sustain or increase local freight movements and warehousing needs in the Perth region.
“This acquisition is aligned with Capral’s strategic objective of acquiring businesses that complement and strengthen our core operations,” said Capral CEO, Tony Dragicevich.
“Comsupply brings a loyal customer base, experienced team, and supplier relationships that will enhance our capabilities and support our long-term growth ambitions.”
The transaction is expected to be completed following customary conditions, integration planning is underway.
Comsupply will continue to operate as a standalone business in the near term, with its General Manager reporting into Capral’s Building Systems division.
