Sale of Laminex Cheltenham property
Fletcher Building Limited, 810 Great South Road, Penrose, Auckland 1061, New Zealand
8 May 2026
Sale of Laminex Cheltenham property
Fletcher Building advises that its Laminex AU business unit has entered into a conditional
agreement to sell its property located in Cheltenham, Melbourne, Australia, to Forza
Capital for A$53.8 million. Completion of the sale is conditional upon Forza’s satisfactory
completion of environmental due diligence and receipt of internal governance approvals
by mid-June 2026. If the conditions are satisfied, the transaction is expected to complete
by the end of FY26.
Following the sale, the business will occupy the site for a minimum period of three years.
This will allow time for a broader review of the manufacturing site requirements for
Laminex AU to be completed.
If the sale completes in FY26 then, based on this purchase price, Fletcher Building
expects to record a gain on sale of ~A$14m in its FY26 EBIT, net of sales, lease
remediation and restructuring costs.
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Andrew Reding said “This transaction is a
further step in optimising the Group’s property footprint, while providing flexibility to
complete the Laminex AU footprint review. It also contributes to the Group’s ongoing
capital management objectives.”
