PermaTech is a private holding company focused on acquiring excellent owner-led businesses across New Zealand and Australia — and keeping them forever. We don't restructure, rebrand, or flip. We simply provide a permanent home, fair value, and the freedom to continue what you've started.
We don't buy with a five-year plan. We acquire businesses to hold them indefinitely — just like Lifco, Addtech, and Indutrade have done for decades in Europe. Your business becomes part of our permanent portfolio.
We don't send in teams to audit, restructure, or "optimize." We respect the people, processes, and culture you've built. You keep running what works.
Your brand stays. Your customers stay. Your team stays. We acquire to preserve, not to transform. The reputation you've earned is exactly what we're buying.
Most acquisition processes are designed to extract leverage. We designed ours to respect your time and privacy.
It starts with one conversation — confidential, no obligation. If there's a fit, we make a fair offer based on what you've built. No auction. No renegotiation. No due diligence games.
When we say we'll hold your business forever, we mean it. That's the PermaTech model.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, logistics, distribution — businesses that keep industries running. Skilled trades. Essential services. Owner-led operations with strong customer relationships.
Founders who've built something valuable and are thinking about what comes next. Businesses with solid fundamentals, loyal customers, and teams that make them work. No franchise models. No commodity trading.
Acquired 2024. Founded 1984. 45 staff. Industrial and commercial boilers and burners. The same management team. The same customers. The same standard of work. Forty years of reputation, intact.
"PermaTech understood from day one that we weren't looking for a transformation story. We were looking for a continuation story. That's the difference they brought."
Every acquisition starts with a confidential chat. No obligation, no process until you're ready.
If you're quietly wondering what comes next — not ready to call a broker, not ready to tell anyone, just thinking — we're a good first conversation. Confidential. No obligation.
