Civmec mulls acquisition of Australian defence shipbuilder

In line with its expansion into the defence sector.

Mainboard-listed construction and engineering services provider Civmec revealed that it intends to acquire certain assets and the brand of Forgacs, Australia’s largest privately owned engineering and shipbuilding company servicing the defence and commercial markets.

Forgacs is Australia’s largest privately owned engineering and shipbuilding company, engaged in major project engineering, construction and maintenance for both defence and commercial markets.

The proposed acquisition will allow Civmec to gain in-house submarine building and technical expertise as well as a foothold in the defence shipbuilding industry.

Subject to satisfactory due diligence, necessary stakeholder approval and the finalisation of the sale and purchase agreement, the Company expects to complete the transaction in December this year.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
