Business
Korvest Ltd (ASX:KOV), founded in 1970 and headquartered in Kilburn, South Australia, manufactures and supplies cable and pipe support systems, fastening solutions, and galvanising services primarily in Australia. The company operates through two main divisions: the Industrial Products Group, encompassing the EzyStrut business that produces electrical and cable support systems including cable trays, pipe supports, struts, fittings, and access systems such as hydraulic and electric platforms for mobile mining equipment along with high-torque tool sales, hire, and repair; and the Production Group, comprising Korvest Galvanisers that provides hot dip galvanising services and sheet metal fabrication. Korvest serves diverse sectors including infrastructure, utilities, mining, data centres, oil and gas, power stations, food processing, health, commercial construction, petrochemical, communications, civil engineering, water, and energy markets throughout Australia with a network of branches in major cities. Recent developments include the expansion of EzyStrut's vehicle fleet starting in 2023 with new truck acquisitions such as the Hino 500 flatbed EZY005 for Perth metro deliveries and plans for additional vehicles in Adelaide, Melbourne, and Brisbane to support growing operational capacity. In 2023, EzyStrut established a strategic partnership with Spanish firm Basor Electric to broaden its product range tailored for the data centre boom, including projects like eleven new facilities in New South Wales such as the $4 billion Horsley Park development. The company maintains strong financial performance with fully franked dividends, including an interim payout of A$0.25 per share in February 2025 and a final dividend of A$0.40 per share in August 2024, alongside continued investments in branch relocations like the Sydney facility to Bankstown Aerodrome.
