Addisons advised SHAPE Australia Corporation Limited (ASX: SHA) on its acquisition of the issued capital of national shopfitting specialist, Australian Professional Shopfitters Pty Ltd, for total consideration of up to $29,400,000.
The acquisition of Australian Professional Shopfitters expands SHAPE’s ability to support clients with repeatable retail work at scale and adds valuable manufacturing and procurement capability to SHAPE’s business. The transaction completed in early July 2026.
SHAPE is a market leader as a national fitout and construction services specialist. Addisons also advised SHAPE on its IPO and ASX listing in 2021, and its acquisition of Arden Group in December 2025.
Corporate partner Rebecca Dooley led the Addisons team, assisted by Senior Associate Max Jamieson, with involvement from across the firm, including its construction, competition, property and IP practice groups. In particular, Addisons’ competition practice group advised SHAPE in relation to the merger control process and obtained a waiver for this transaction from the ACCC.
Rebecca said, “Congratulations to SHAPE. Its acquisition of Australian Professional Shopfitters is a strategically compelling transaction that expands SHAPE’s capability and market reach. SHAPE and its advisors worked seamlessly together to bring the deal to completion, and Addisons is delighted to have supported SHAPE on this important milestone in its growth and diversification strategy.”
SHAPE CEO Peter Marix-Evans said, “The acquisition of Australian Professional Shopfitters is an important step in SHAPE’s growth and diversification strategy, strengthening our vertical integration and broadening our service offering. Addisons was a trusted adviser throughout, bringing practical advice, strong technical expertise and a genuine understanding of our business at every stage. We thank the team for their responsiveness and collaborative approach in helping us bring the acquisition to completion.”
