Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of plastics equipment do you auction?

We handle injection molding machines, blow molding equipment, extrusion lines, thermoforming machines, hot runners, molds and tooling, robots, conveyors, chillers, and all supporting auxiliaries. We've liquidated complete injection molding facilities with 100+ presses.

How do you handle mold liquidation separately from machines?

Molds and tooling are sold separately from machines in most cases, with buyers from OEMs, molders, and mold traders participating. We can structure auctions to offer molds individually or in bundles depending on what maximizes recovery.

Do you work with plastics plant closures under bankruptcy?

Yes, we have extensive experience with court-supervised plastics plant liquidations including 363 bankruptcy sales and Article 9 dispositions. Our team coordinates directly with trustees, receivers, and legal counsel.

How long does a plastics facility auction take?

A typical plastics plant auction runs 4–8 weeks from engagement to settlement, including equipment cataloging (particularly important for molds and tooling), photography, marketing, bidding, and removal.

What recovery rates can I expect for injection molding equipment?

Recovery depends heavily on equipment age, condition, brand, and market timing. Modern Arburg, Engel, Husky, and Milacron presses typically recover 30–60% of replacement value at auction. We provide a realistic range estimate at engagement. We won't oversell the outcome.
