Blow Molding Machine Auctions in Akron, OH
Akron's industrial heritage is rooted in polymer and rubber manufacturing: home to Goodyear's headquarters and a dense concentration of plastics, rubber, and advanced materials manufacturers.
Akron's plastics and advanced materials manufacturers sit alongside the rubber processors that built the city's reputation, and container and packaging producers in that same corridor are the ones shedding blow molding capacity when a line is discontinued or a plant consolidates. Extrusion and stretch blow molding machines coming out of Akron-area plastics operations, along with PET preform systems and blow mold tooling, reach buyers well beyond Ohio through KD Auctions's national marketing. A metro this concentrated in polymer processing keeps a steady, if modest, flow of blow molding equipment moving through consignment rather than sitting idle.
