Levanta, a leading specialist in workshop fitouts and equipment, has announced the acquisition of Hartex Engineering, a highly respected name in prefabricated service pits and heavy vehicle workshop systems.
This strategic move firmly positions Levanta as the number-one provider of heavy vehicle workshop fitouts and equipment across Australia and New Zealand, says Levanta’s Director of Sales & Marketing, Bradley Dunn.
“Joining forces with Hartex is a significant milestone for both companies,” he says. “It means we can now offer a complete, end-to-end solution – everything from design and engineering through to manufacturing, installation, and ongoing support – all delivered by our in-house team.
“It’s a powerful proposition for customers of both businesses.”
Hartex Engineering Managing Director Linda Minassian expresses her confidence in the partnership. “Levanta and Hartex have been friendly competitors for many years, so we know and respect their capabilities,” she says. “They share the same values that have guided our business since my father started it in 1986 – integrity, quality and putting the customer first.”
Hartex Engineering Director Maggie Minassian adds, “It’s especially meaningful to see Hartex transition from one family-owned business to another. We know Levanta will continue to treat the brand, our people and our customers with the same care and commitment we always have.”
The acquisition brings together decades of experience and technical know-how, further strengthening Levanta’s position in the market.
“We’re excited to add Hartex’s renowned products – like their truck and bus wash systems – to our range,” says Lester Sharples, Levanta’s General Manager of Sales and Marketing.
Levanta customers across Australia and New Zealand will benefit from:
> A true end-to-end solution – Full vertical integration means design, manufacturing, installation and service are all handled in-house.
> An expanded product range – Hartex’s products, including their industry-leading service pits, complement Levanta’s comprehensive offerings.
> Greater national reach – The combined networks ensure improved coverage and faster response times across both countries.
> Stronger technical expertise – Hartex’s experienced engineering background adds even more depth to Levanta’s already capable workforce.
“This is about more than growth – it’s about building something better for our customers,” Bradley Dunn says. “We’ve come a long way since Levanta began as a one-man operation in 2003. Bringing Hartex into the fold is another big step, and we’re just getting started.
“We’re open to talking with other like-minded businesses that want to be part of Australia’s leading name in workshop solutions.”
