is an ASX Public listed company based
in Victoria; Australia, servicing the Engineering industry. I have
added this company to my Profile on Google finance. From the
information I have found EVZ has been through a tough time during the
Economic downturn from 2009 onwards. This is reflected in the fact
that the Company has not paid any Dividends to its Shareholders since
the 2009 – 2010 Tax year. They have instead invested that money
into expanding the business by actively seeking contracts in mining and expanding into Water and Alternative Energy industries.
I tried to access the information for
the businesses via the AVZ ‘Group Links’ tab. However, the site states that it is under construction, so I had to some extra research.
The company has Three operating
divisions in Engineering, Power and Water and encompasses Five
businesses; they being:
-
Designs,
manufactures and installs large tanks, silos, cooling towers, pipe
spooling, pressure vessels and fabricates structural steel. They
service Mining, Petrochemical, Wood chipping, Defence, Cement, Grain
Handling and water industries.
Current Projects
are:
Origin Energy, Ottway Gas
Expansion.
South West Fibre, Myamym Woodchip Mill.
Alcoa Point Henry.
Shell Refining – Geelong.
Mobil Oil Australia.
Phosphate Co-op Australia.
Chemplex / CIG
BHP Petroleum (Baulderstone
Homibrook).

Specialising in
Roof drainage systems for Medium to Large Industrial structures. For example the
Gold Coast Convention Centre and the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Established in 2004 this business has expanded greatly by offering a
unique drainage system to assist in offering cost effective and
efficient water drainage using Syfon technology. In short the Syfon
drainage system minimises the Centrifugal drainage of conventional
water drainage collected in gutters. This maximises water collection
in heavy rain situations and also reduces cost as the piping required
is of smaller diameter.

Syfon has been very successful in placing
itself as a leader in this type of environmental application. Currently their
operations are in Australia, New Zealand, and have expanded to
include Projects in Malaysia and other parts of Asia.
As Australia and
other Countries are becoming more aware of water retention and
recycling, Syfon have placed the business in an expanding market with
a unique product. Reading between the
lines in EVZ's Annual report Syfon's business growth may have attributed
to EVZ returning a profit in the 2012-2013 year.

Involved in
offering sustainable energy. They Service, install and maintain
cooling and heating energy options. From what I understand they offer
a Co-generation and Tri-generation energy installations.
Benefits are:
Another Business
of EVZ created to place itself in the ever expanding market of ‘Green
Energy’. With the Labor Governments introduction of the Carbon tax
many companies may have contracted TSF to install the Co and
tri-generation systems to actively reduce carbon emissions. You could
argue that if the LNP government are successful in abolishing the
carbon tax that the product TSF offer may affect the number of
projects in the future. However, they have partnered with other major
companies and since the public are more aware of environment issues
these companies may continue to explore energy options to enhance
customer perception. I believe the next few years will be interesting
to this businesses future according to future market and environmental
conditions.
