KD Auctions Manages Liquidation of Aerospace & Defense Precision Machining Operation in Southwestern United States
KD Auctions completes the managed liquidation of a precision aerospace and defense machining operation, achieving strong recovery for the secured lender through targeted marketing to aerospace Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers.
KD Auctions has completed the managed liquidation of a precision aerospace and defense machining operation in the Southwestern United States, achieving strong recovery results for the secured lender through targeted marketing to qualified aerospace buyers.
The liquidation encompassed 5-axis CNC machining centers, precision grinding and turning equipment, coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), AS9100-certified tooling and fixturing, and complete support infrastructure for a large-part aerospace machining environment.
KD Capital was engaged by the secured lender following the facility closure and conducted a USPAP-compliant appraisal establishing Orderly Liquidation Value (OLV) prior to the managed auction. The auction reached aerospace Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, defense contractors, and precision machining operations across North America.
Aerospace facility liquidations require a different level of care. The equipment is precision-certified, the documentation requirements are strict, and the buyers are sophisticated. KD Capital's familiarity with AS9100 environments and the aerospace supply chain is what separates a good result from a great one.
All proceeds and settlements were delivered to the secured lender in full compliance with Article 9 UCC disposition requirements.
