Manufacturing auctions and asset disposal
From a single machining centre to a complete factory, we value, auction and clear manufacturing assets across the UK, with production schedules respected throughout.
- Free valuation, no obligation
- Clear costs before you commit
- Collection and loading managed for you
We know our way around a factory
Manufacturing assets need a seller who understands them. A machine’s value depends on its condition, tooling, control gear and service history, and on which trade buyers are looking for exactly that machine this month.
We sell manufacturing equipment continually, so we know what factories are buying and what your plant will make. Whether you are upgrading a line, consolidating sites or closing a factory, we run the sale around your production, not the other way round.
What we do for manufacturers
-
01
Machinery valuations
Realistic values for production machinery based on recent hammer prices for comparable plant, delivered as a report you can plan against.
-
02
Line and factory sales
Complete auctions of production lines and factory contents, catalogued and marketed to trade buyers in the UK and overseas.
-
03
Upgrade disposals
Selling displaced machines when new plant arrives, timed so the old line is sold and gone before installation.
-
04
Factory clearance
Supervised collection, machine disconnection coordination and full site clearance, leaving the building ready for handback.
