McCallum Made Chicken Tractors is a light engineering business specializing in the manufacture of chicken tractors. It had a net profit of approximately $95,000 the last financial year and is a growing and expanding business with a huge amount of potential. It has significant intellectual property and assets, a solid history of extensive national advertising and has a very sought-after name for quality engineering.
McCallum Made Chicken Tractors owns the patent rights to Australian Patent No. 2006225275 for “A Mobilizer”. This patent is included in the sale of the business. It is the unique mobility system fitted to all McCallum Made Chicken Tractors and is in part what defines the product. It has the potential to be developed and applied to other products. Also being sold as part of the business is the trademarked McCallum Made logo and registered (R) and „.
The business has a comprehensive website attracting huge traffic numbers (100,000 hits per month) and maintaining a constant Google presence with a number one ranking for a search of “chicken tractors”. The business also owns an established 1800 number, and has developed very high quality advertising material for promotions such as 6-metre full colour banners, glossy brochures and other graphics.
The business employs five staff members who are all very competent at manufacturing the range of products, allowing the new owner to participate in manufacture or to take on a managerial role. Along with the intellectual property and staff come extensive contacts for sourcing raw materials both locally and internationally.
There is an established delivery service to South East Queensland customers from Gympie down to the Gold Coast, and as far west as Toowoomba, currently booked out 7 weeks in advance. It delivers preassembled chicken tractors, point of lay chooks and accessory items such as feed, self-drinkers and feeders, and educational poultry-keeping books. The business also has an established interstate market shipping flat packed chicken tractors Australia-wide.
With the current trend towards backyard chook-keeping, there is unlimited potential for this business to grow in both retail and wholesale aspects along with an undeveloped export market.
Price does not include stock and equipment, which can also be purchased depending on the new owner’s requirements.
