MELBOURNE, Australia - AussieJournal -- CDI Global ANZ is pleased to announce the successful sale of Dunbier and Mackay, two of Australia's most established and trusted boat trailer brands, to Australian private investment firm 2nd Summit Capital. CDI Global acted as the sell-side corporate adviser to the owners throughout the transaction.

Founded by Russell Dunbier in 1969 and headquartered in Braeside, Victoria, Dunbier has grown into a recognised name in Australian marine manufacturing. The acquisition of Mackay Multi Link in 2015 brought together two complementary brands supplying standard and custom boat trailers to dealers, commercial fleets and the broader boating community. Together, Dunbier and Mackay have manufactured hundreds of thousands of trailers, building longstanding relationships through a commitment to quality, reliability and innovation.

For the sellers, the divestment was about more than a change of ownership. It was an opportunity to preserve the businesses' family heritage while securing the support and investment needed for their continued success. Michelle Reid, outgoing owner and Managing Director of Dunbier said "Dunbier and Mackay represent decades of hard work, family commitment and relationships built on trust. We are incredibly proud of what our family and team have achieved, and finding the right owner for the businesses was our most important consideration. Jon and the team at 2nd Summit Capital understood what makes these businesses special and share our commitment to the people, customers and future. This is an opportunity to protect the legacy my parents Russell and Kay established, while giving the next generation of leadership the support to build on it."
