Sale of Kinder Australia to Attalis Capital and the Victorian Business Growth Fund
Kinder Australia Pty Ltd (“Kinder”) a leading provider of innovative bulk material handling solutions, is pleased to announce it has been acquired by Attalis Capital and the Victorian Business Growth Fund (managed by Roc Partners).
Founded by Neil and Christine Kinder more than 40 years ago in a modest two-bedroom home in Melbourne, Kinder has grown into a trusted and respected name in the bulk materials handling industry.
Today, the business services major mining, quarrying and agriculture clients across Australia and abroad, with a team of over 35 employees and a portfolio of innovative, high-quality solutions that enhance efficiency, safety and cost-effectiveness. Kinder’s product line-up includes belt cleaners, conveyor skirting, anti-wear liners and flow aids.
Kinder’s products are widely used in some of Australia’s largest mining operations and have been deployed internationally, helping clients increase productivity, reduce downtime and improve operations. A focus on continuous improvement, customer partnerships, and innovation has underpinned the company’s long-standing reputation for quality and reliability.
The new owners see significant opportunity to accelerate the company’s national growth, particularly in the Western Australian market and other key mining regions. Plans include broadening the business’s product offering, developing a services and maintenance arm, and actively pursuing bolt-on acquisitions to complement the core business.
Anthony Dobbyn and Chris Grelis from MGI Dobbyn Carafa were the lead corporate advisors and Macpherson Kelley Lawyers provided legal support for the founders.
MGI Dobbyn Carafa has supported the Kinder family and executive team over several years to position the business for a successful ownership transition.
