Geofabrics Australasia Pty Ltd, the largest manufacturer and supplier of geosynthetic and geotextile products in Australia and New Zealand, has announced the acquisition of Bayset.
Bayset is a leading trade supplier and reseller of solutions for the waterproofing, flooring, and concrete repair industries, with operations spanning Queensland, New South Wales, ACT and Victoria. For over 20 years, Bayset has been a key contributor to the Australian market, known for its comprehensive selection of high-quality construction products, from membranes to advanced systems, and exceptional service.
With Bayset’s strong presence across Australia, the acquisition diversifies Geofabrics’ portfolio, solidifying its presence and capabilities in the region. By enhancing its ability to meet the varied requirements of the civil infrastructure and residential sectors, customers will now have access to an even wider selection of innovative solutions, supported by technical advice from the Bayset team.
“The acquisition of Bayset is a major milestone for our business,” said Dennis Grech, Geofabrics CEO and managing director. “We take immense pride in providing solutions for building key infrastructure in Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Region. Bringing Bayset into the Geofabrics and Plascorp portfolio extends our reach into key segments. Bayset holds market leadership in the waterproofing industry and the bringing together of our businesses offers Geofabrics and Plascorp greater exposure to domestic housing infrastructure and further access to the commercial and civil sectors. I very much look forward to working with Malcolm Ferraro and the Bayset team. Bayset will continue to operate as a stand-alone business with its current network of branches, and its team will continue to provide best-in-class waterproofing and adhesive solutions to its customers.”
“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Geofabrics, which represents an exciting new chapter for Bayset,” said Malcom Ferraro, Bayset CEO. “This collaboration not only allows us to continue our independent growth but also provides access to Geofabrics’ experience and resources. Our shared commitment to quality, innovation, and technical excellence ensures that we can offer even better solutions to our customers across various sectors. I am confident that this partnership will bring tremendous opportunities for our team, enhance our product offerings, and strengthen our market position. We are eager to explore the synergies between our companies and to continue delivering exceptional value to our clients.”
