Stars
Aerial Work Platforms (AWP)
Mills is Brazil’s clear market leader in Aerial Work Platforms (AWP), holding an estimated 45–50% rental market share in 2025 and capturing ~60% of high-rise construction rentals.
Strong sector growth—CAGR ~8% 2023–2026 for Brazil’s rental market—reflects tighter safety rules and demand for efficient vertical movement in construction and logistics.
AWP requires steady capex: Mills reinvests ~12–15% of annual revenue into fleet renewal, replacing diesel with electric scissor and boom lifts.
Shift to electric AWPs supports ESG goals and wins multinational clients; electric units now represent ~30% of Mills’ active fleet and rising.
Heavy Machinery for Mining
Mills heavy machinery for mining sits in the BCG matrix as a Cash Cow moving toward Star: revenue reached BRL 1.2bn in 2025, up 28% YoY, and market share in specialized rentals hit 34% of Brazil’s large-scale mining fleet by Q3 2025. The unit generates strong EBITDA margins (~22%) but requires BRL 420m capex in 2025 to sustain a 95% availability rate for remote operations.
Infrastructure Project Engineering
The demand for specialized engineering and equipment rental for public works rose 8.7% CAGR from 2020–2024 in emerging markets, and Mills captures this via bridge and sanitation projects where its margins hit 18% EBITDA in 2024, placing it as a BCG Stars segment.
To defend this lead Mills spent $42m on training and $65m on digital equipment in 2024; ongoing capex of ~7% revenue is needed to match domestic rivals and sustain 20% volume growth potential.
Solar Energy Maintenance Equipment
Mills holds a Stars position with Solar Energy Maintenance Equipment, supplying specialized access platforms as Brazil grows solar capacity—installed solar reached 39 GW in 2024, up ~25% year-on-year, boosting demand for maintenance fleets.
Early dominance stems from targeted fleet allocation and contracts with top developers; Mills reports ~18% market share in specialized platforms for solar by Q4 2025 and is reinvesting >R$50m annually to adapt equipment to uneven, rural terrains.
Continuous CAPEX needed: terrain-specific upgrades, transport logistics, and battery-powered units to reduce site emissions; ROI projections show payback in 3–4 years given current utilization rates of 68% for deployed solar platforms.
- Market: Brazil solar 39 GW (2024), +25% YoY
- Mills share: ~18% in specialized solar platforms (Q4 2025)
- Capex: >R$50m/year for terrain adaptation
- Utilization: 68% deployed platforms; payback 3–4 years
Digital Rental Platform (Mills Online)
Mills Online, the company’s proprietary digital rental platform, has reached a 62% adoption rate among active customers as of Q4 2025, marking Mills as a tech-forward leader in an industry still largely analog.
The platform drives high growth by shortening rental lead times by 35% and lifting 12‑month retention to 48% through data-driven pricing, inventory matching, and predictive maintenance.
Maintaining this edge needs ongoing R&D; Mills budgeted $18.4M for platform R&D in 2025 to fend off digital-native equipment startups.
- 62% customer adoption (Q4 2025)
- 35% faster lead times
- 48% 12‑month retention
- $18.4M R&D spend in 2025
Mills’ growth engines: AWP 45–50%, Solar 18%, Online 62% — Brazil rental +8% CAGR

Cash Cows
Shoring and Scaffolding
Mills’ Shoring and Scaffolding is a mature cash cow with ~30% market share in Brazil’s construction equipment rentals (2024 IBGE-linked industry data), low market growth (~2% CAGR 2023–25) but high EBIT margins near 22% and fully depreciated fleets, producing roughly BRL 220–260 million annual free cash flow in 2024 to fund high-growth units.
Technical Support and Maintenance Services
Mills Technical Support and Maintenance Services generate steady recurring revenue via 120+ service centers that maintained 4,200 machines in 2024, billing $86M in service revenue and 18% EBITDA margin. This mature segment runs with low capex (≈2% of revenue) and high operational efficiency, serving both Mills and third-party equipment and providing reliable liquidity. Long-term contracts with 60 industrial partners (avg. 4.2-year tenor) underscore the technical teams’ strong reputation and renewal rates above 85%.
Used Equipment Sales
The secondary market for Mills' retired rental fleet generated £112m in FY2024 (12% of group revenue), a stable, high-margin cash cow that converts used machinery into cash with minimal CapEx. By selling well-maintained assets at lifecycle end, Mills recovers residual value—typical gross margins ~45%—requiring little additional investment. Strong Mills brand equity supports premium pricing, lifting resale prices 8–12% above market for comparable used equipment.
Formwork Systems
Standardized formwork solutions for residential and commercial projects are a cash cow: they held ~35% of Mills’ FY2025 revenue mix and generated steady operating margins near 18% as construction volumes stabilized in 2024–25.
Growth in traditional building methods stabilized at ~2–3% CAGR nationally, but high project backlog (estimated 9–12 months) delivers predictable cash inflows, reducing working-capital strain.
Minimal promotion needs cut SG&A; lower customer-acquisition spend lets Mills redirect roughly 5–7% of cash flow into strategic R&D and modular system expansion.
- ~35% revenue share, 18% operating margin
- 2–3% sector CAGR, 9–12 month backlog
- 5–7% cash reallocated to growth
Operator Training Programs
Mills dominates Brazil’s heavy-machinery safety and operator-certification market, holding ~35% share in 2024 and delivering >40% gross margins; low fixed costs and repeatable curriculum make this a high-margin, mature cash cow that feeds equipment rental leads and upsells.
Safety compliance is mandatory across industrial and construction sectors, producing steady revenue (~R$45M annual training revenue in 2024) and predictable free cash flow, supporting investment in rental fleet and digital training tools.
- 35% market share (2024)
- R$45M training revenue (2024)
- >40% gross margin
- High recurring demand; gateway to rentals
