Large Gravel Quarry in Rio de Janeiro

Acquire a successful and established operator with significant growth potential during the runup to the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympics
The Business

The Company has a successful and established mining business in Rio de Janeiro that operates from a long-standing gravel quarry, which serves the greater Rio de Janeiro area. Over the course of the past 5 years, revenue has grown significantly, mainly due to increase in demand and higher prices for gravel. Production could be increased by adding personnel in different shifts as well as by mining sand. This would double revenues through the benefit of scale, with larger resulting profits.

The Company is strategically located in greater Rio de Janeiro, with major freeway (city belt) currently under construction near the Company?s main gate. In addition to its privileged location, the Company has developed a large and reliable network of customers throughout the entire greater Rio de Janeiro. The Company is in strict compliance with the industry regulations.

Market

This sector represents a significant opportunity because of its potential for growth. The need of sand and gravel in Rio de Janeiro for the next few years is certain. In addition to the growing real estate market and the existing infrastructure projects being developed, the coming 2014 FIFA WorldCup and the 2016 Olympics will demand new construction and renovation.

The Company is well positioned and prepared to step into this opportunity and significantly expand its operations based on an already developed structure and business plan that can achieve tremendous success.

As a family business, the Company is a reflection of its founder, whose heirs wish to dedicate their careers to other businesses and industries. As such, the second generation understands it is more appropriate to part with the Company and move on with their lives.
