Industrial Plant Liquidation in Ann Arbor, MI
Ann Arbor anchors Southeast Michigan's technology and advanced manufacturing corridor, with automotive R&D, medical device manufacturing, and university-adjacent technology production.
When an Ann Arbor facility closes entirely, whether an automotive R&D support operation, a medical device manufacturer, or a university-adjacent technology company that lost funding or was acquired, the sale rarely involves just one equipment category. A single plant liquidation here might combine CNC machining centers, semiconductor or electronics test equipment, lab and clean room infrastructure, and material handling gear, all needing to move to the right buyers within the same compressed timeline. Secured lenders, trustees, and receivers need one process that can appraise, catalog, and market that mixed inventory to the specialized buyers each category actually attracts. KD Auctions handles the full liquidation, from USPAP-compliant appraisal through settlement, typically 6 to 10 weeks from engagement to completion, with an onsite team available within 48 to 72 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our Ann Arbor facility is closing and has a mix of CNC machines, lab equipment, and electronics test gear. Can one liquidation handle all of it?
Yes, that mix is common in this market, and KD Auctions runs it as a single managed process: one appraisal, one cataloging and marketing effort, and one settlement, even though the CNC equipment, lab gear, and electronics test equipment each reach different buyer pools. Most complete plant liquidations run 6 to 10 weeks from engagement to completion.
We're a lender with a secured interest in an Ann Arbor facility's equipment. How fast can KD Auctions respond?
KD Auctions can have an onsite assessment team at the facility within 48 to 72 hours of engagement, and we regularly work with secured lenders on Article 9 dispositions as well as bankruptcy trustees and receivers on court-supervised sales. You'll receive a USPAP-compliant appraisal and full settlement accounting throughout the process.
