The Problem

Great product. Reactive pipeline. Sound familiar?

Australian advanced manufacturers often have genuinely differentiated products — precision components, specialist process equipment, industrial systems with real IP that outperforms the European and North American alternatives at a fraction of the cost.

But export happens reactively. A distributor comes knocking. A contact from a conference turns into an inquiry. The CEO does a trade mission. These wins are real, but they're not a pipeline — they're lucky. And luck doesn't scale.

The companies that win in international industrial markets have a systematic engine behind the effort. We build that engine, and we run it.

"We know our product is better, but we can't get in the room with international OEMs."
"We've been looking at the US market for two years. Nobody owns it."
"A distributor in Malaysia found us — we'd like to find the next ten ourselves."
"We can't justify a full-time export manager. But we can't afford to stand still either."

How We Help Manufacturers

Three services. One embedded team. Fully done for you.

Industrial B2B sales are long, complex, and relationship-driven. We understand that. Our approach is built for manufacturers selling into procurement-heavy industrial markets — not a startup playbook bolted onto heavy industry.

01 📡  Export Strategy & Pipeline Core retainer
We pick the right two markets for your product, build the ICP for your ideal OEM or distributor partner, and execute the business development until you have qualified conversations happening. No reports. Just pipeline.

We integrate with Austrade, EFIC, and state trade bodies to leverage every available resource — and apply your EMDG grant to reduce your net retainer cost.
Market selection across Asia-Pacific, Americas, Middle East, and Africa
OEM, distributor, and integrator partner identification and qualification
Standards, certification, and market access navigation (ISO, local standards)
EFIC, Austrade TradeStart, and state government program integration
EMDG application and ongoing grant management
In-person market visits scoped and supported
02 ⚡  AI & Automation Standalone or addon
Industrial procurement cycles are long and complex. AI automation means you're tracking every relevant signal — new project announcements, distributor activity, competitor movements, procurement tender releases — and responding faster than any manually-staffed BD operation could.
Industrial procurement monitoring — project announcements, tender releases, capex signals
Distributor and OEM procurement contact intelligence and enrichment
Automated outreach sequences tuned for long-cycle industrial B2B buyers
RFQ and tender opportunity alerting and qualification
Export pipeline dashboard — full deal-stage visibility at all times
03 📣  Full-Stack Marketing Addon to core retainer
Industrial buyers research extensively before they talk. When your outreach lands, they'll look you up. We build the content and brand presence that earns credibility with engineering and procurement decision-makers in international markets — before they've taken a meeting.
Technical capability content — product briefs, case studies, applications notes
LinkedIn presence for founders and technical directors targeting global industrial buyers
Trade show and exhibition strategy — AUSTECH, regional industrial expos, sector events
Outbound campaign execution to OEM procurement teams and distributor networks
Website and digital presence for international credibility

Australian Government Grant

The EMDG program makes this significantly cheaper than you think.

Australian manufacturers exporting for the first time are among the strongest EMDG candidates. The grant reimburses eligible export promotion costs — advisory, automation infrastructure, and marketing. We handle the application as part of the engagement.

💡 An $8,500/month retainer becomes approximately $4,250/month after EMDG reimbursement. Adding Full-Stack Marketing brings the total to $17,000/month — which becomes ~$8,500/month after grants.
