initiative have identified unique applications where needs have been identified. o The Sub-assembly component/container order allows the applicant/franchisee to maximize every opportunity presented in the region Proposed product range and services We intend to follow a multi-product and service development plan if we have share capital the projects below will be possible: • In all cases below, market research has to be conducted by experts, products have to be designed and proper equipment must be put in place: o Expandable barriers - Revamp powder coating ovens and corrosion prevention to latest technology - Investigate and introduce cheaper yet better manufacturing methods and materials and pass the savings on to clients - Re-design product range maintaining our unique selling positions (Buy-Back Guarantee, Slamlock, ISO superior quality) o Window Grilles Massively increase the range of burglar proofing methods - Introduce automated manufacturing equipment - Security blinds - Invisible shields (Intruder proof glass) o Roller Shutters - Increase the sizes by purchasing correct manufacturing equipment - Types of Roller shutters and doors that we don’t make at the moment e.g. jack-knife doors, garage doors, fire doors, high speed containment doors, and so forth. o DIY products o Gates and welded products - We have the expertise and the brand to really get into this market - We will need welding equipment and staff - This product range alone can triple our turnover of approached correctly - The scope of our business must become physical security and safety barriers. That means besides the development of our current product range we need to enter into similar products that will open up new markets: Thus items such as: • Fencing • Bannisters • Driveway gates • Crowd control • Access control (Shopping centres, banks, crowd control) • Child protection • Pool security • In all cases the Human resources (engineers, cost accountants etc.) required for the above projects will be working for at least 8 to 12 months before any returns will be evident Infrastructure Growth Proposed Maxidor currently has the following infrastructure; 1. Main Components Manufacturing Plant in Alrode JHB (Including Powder-coating, corrosion treatment, welding, and various metal processing departments) 2. Johannesburg Branch in Alrode JHB (Includes final assembly for Gauteng installations and distribution warehouse as well as administrative offices) 3. Roller Shutter Manufacturing Plant in Alrode JHB (Final assembly of Roller shutter and associated products/components including powder coating country wide) 4. Durban Branch receives components by container from the main components Manufacturing Plant in JHB and assembles the products as installs for KZN 5. Cape Town Branch receives components by container from the main components Manufacturing Plant in JHB and assembles the products as installs for WP 6. Pretoria Branch receives completed products by truck from the JHB branch and arranges installation 7. We have a network of Sub-Assembly Franchises, Franchises, Agents and Lifestyle Agents in various parts of South Africa and Africa www.maxidor.com. Proposed infrastructure growth has been focussed on increasing the Sub-Assembly Franchises, Franchises, Agents and Lifestyle Agents. 1. Maxidors national and African footprint is very small 2. The cost of set up is substantially carried by the Agent etc. 3. The product range is available in component form 4. The support, processes and business plan is in place 5. This plan requires minimal cost from Maxidor side Maxidors state of the art website currently drives leads and other consumer interest. It has been developed to accommodate future online sales, however this will only be realised once product development has taken place. Opportunity available if share capital becomes available: 1. The nature of Maxidors product range and manufacturing process (To Keep BBG etc.) means that it is more profitable to sell finished product then to sell components 2. Small mini-assembly branches around South Africa with lifestyle agents in each area, will rapidly increase volumes 3. 6 main areas in South Africa require a set up of at least R1 million each in stock etc… to begin this process – they should achieve a turnover of a minimum of R3 million each per year. 4. We will need a further R500k per year for the next 2 years for branch expansion primarily for additional stock to meet the growth. 5. We have approached Africa much the same way – setting up Sub-assembly franchises in the various countries. Unfortunately, capital is short although opportunities are plentiful. We have successfully set up 2 Sub-Assembly Franchises and a number of agents that are buying in small quantities.
With Share Capital we propose joint ventures 50/50 to set up branches with strategic partners throughout Africa. For example in East Africa 2 of the world’s fastest growing economies exist here and we are poorly represented: • Tanzania • Zambia • Malawi • Kenya • Burundi • Mozambique • Uganda • Burundi • Mauritius • DRC • Rwanda • Ethiopia • Sudan 6. We receive enquiries from most of these countries and are unable to assist effectively. The West Coast is a similar story – think of Angola for example. 7. This project will require an estimated R50 million to set up and probably about R10 million in Marketing from normal turnover, however an extra R6 million in Year 1 for a special marketing project (Investment funds) 8. We can use the already well developed business plan to get Strategic partners (each country in Africa is unique) 9. The same plan can be implemented in other countries. South America has a very similar financial and demographic structure to South Africa with similar domestic/ commercial/industrial physical security needs. We intend purchasing an existing company in the industry and initially introducing our technology, product range and success formula to Sao Paulo. Distribution Growth Proposed 1. Besides the obvious increase in current product range and current infrastructure, we want to add 2 substantial strategies to Maxidors growth plan: a. Bargain Security Shops (Worldwide) (Security Exchange) i. Coupled with the obvious downturn in the world’s economy, and the increased need for home security, many people would prefer to install their own products ii. We have a well-developed strategy around opening up fully stocked bargain and semi-used products that will revolutionise the industry b. Engineering tender and projects department i. We have recently been involved in specialised designs for the banks (ATM bombings) and mines (High speed lift doors) ii. There are many specialised requirements that we are not getting to, due to the fact that we don’t advertise that we can do it, we don’t have the resources iii. iv. Tenders and projects that come our way are generally neglected due to the commission based sales force A group of engineers, tendering with cost accountants in a separate department on all physical security and safety barriers will add dramatically to the turnover of the business v. Offices are planned to be built in Alrode, Johannesburg, on our current premises next to the factory Acquisitions With Share capital we intend to purchase some of our regular suppliers and possibly enter new markets – e.g. our plastic moulding company (Plastic technology has developed substantially and very strong polymers are available).
