Emerging Wealth Winners Series Ep 1: SOLVAR & Mader – Resilient Cashflows, People‑First Culture and Global Growth

In Episode 1 of our Emerging Wealth Winners Series, produced in partnership with Ausbiz, we dive into two ASX‑listed companies that are quietly compounding value: Solvar Group (ASX: SVR) and Mader Group (ASX: MAD).

What you'll learn in this episode: 

Solvar Group (secured automotive finance) - Managing Director Scott Baldwin joins Ausbiz’s Kylie Merritt to unpack: 

• How Solvar operates in a $55 billion Australian asset finance market while focusing on underserved borrowers with non-prime credit histories
• Why Solvar’s bad debts have remained in a consistent 3.5–4.5% band over five years
• What the company learned from its high-profile ASIC case and how it has strengthened its products, policies and First Nations training
• How Solvar is using AI to listen to call recordings, detect hardship, improve staff training and lower its OPEX ratio
• Why tighter private credit conditions may actually favour Solvar’s equity-funded business model and drive consolidation opportunities
  
  

Mader Group (heavy equipment maintenance) - CEO Justin Newick and CFO Paul Hegarty share how a diesel mechanic in the Kimberley built a global leader in heavy equipment maintenance:

• The people-first culture that attracts and retains blue-collar talent through programs like “Three Gears” and Global Pathways
• How Mader turns technicians into financially literate business leaders and exports its culture into North America and beyond
• The company’s strategic roadmap to $1 billion in revenue and $65m NPAT by FY26, targeting ~30% compound annual growth
• Why North America offers double the fleet size and higher EBITDA margins than Australia – and how Mader plans to capture that upside
• How rigorous reporting, safety systems and margin discipline help manage execution risk across multiple geographies and verticals
  
  

Teaminvest’s Andrew Coleman then provides investor commentary on why both businesses may be “emerging wealth winners” – combining strong returns on capital, resilient earnings and, for now, attractive PE multiples.
