The Board’s Message
As you know, the market for our products is shrinking due to currency adjustments and other factors.
This simply means that we need to broaden our product range, expand into overseas markets and secure a larger market share for our traditional products. In the past 12 months we have achieved all of the above.
We established our first South East Asian branch in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in December 2011.
Progress has been slow but steady and we envisage excellent growth going forward. In the process we learnt much about overseas expansion.
In September 2012 Redox acquired the business of Bribros, adding a new enhanced capability to service the plastics and rubber markets. With sales in excess of A$50m and some very experienced staff we are confident that this will represent a fantastic opportunity to leverage new products to our wide distribution network.
Following on from that we acquired the business of Deltrex in October from ALS Limited. This gives Redox another 12 sales people and two new sites (Girraween in Sydney and Laverton in Melbourne) which have the ability to custom blend and dilute a variety of items while also expanding our storage capabilities by 8,000 pallets.
Sales in 2011-12 reached a new record of $367m with strong growth in mining offsetting some weakness in manufacturing.
A major push to expand our distribution facilities with construction at our Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane sites will enable us to provide improved service to our customers at lower cost.
Redox currently owns 8 distribution facilities with two of these having blending, repacking and bulk liquid storage. These represent an investment exceeding $50m.
Our next project is to purchase and construct a distribution facility in Auckland.
The benefits of initiatives taken in the past 12 months will appear as a considerable boost in the figures of the next few years.
We remain confident that we will achieve our estimate of 12% growth next financial year.
To our new team members the Board welcomes you to the Redox family, to our new suppliers and customers we hope you will enjoy dealing with our company and find continued success.
The Board wishes to acknowledge the huge effort and hard work of our people, our greatest asset.
Robert Coneliano
Managing Director
