Fluid Systems – Business Overview

==> picture [323 x 617] intentionally omitted <==

Fluid Systems is a market leader

  • Fluid Systems is an innovative service provider to the mining, agriculture, defence, construction, manufacturing and allied industries – specializing in hydraulics, lubrication, fire suppression, refuelling and fluid transfer systems/products.

The business still has substantial room to grow both through organic expansion and acquisition opportunities

  • Delivery of additional services and geographic branch expansion to increase market share.

  • Expand hydraulic cylinder market share – investment already made into required equipment.

  • Expand hydraulics, fluid dispensing and refuelling systems capabilities and customers.

  • Increase exposure to other sectors outside of mining such as agriculture, oil & gas, defence, transport, recycling and manufacturing.

  • Acquisition opportunities to diversify away from mining and resources.

  • Whilst pleased to report improving performance for FY21, we are not providing FY22 guidance due to continuing COVID-19 uncertainty.
