Industrial Equipment Auctions in Portland: Electronics, Lumber & Food Processing

Portland sits at the center of Oregon's industrial economy, anchored by Intel's massive semiconductor fabrication campus in Hillsboro, one of the largest semiconductor manufacturing sites in the United States. The Portland metro also hosts a deep lumber, wood products, and paper manufacturing heritage from the Pacific Northwest forest industry, a growing food and beverage processing sector, and a significant metals fabrication and precision manufacturing base. When Portland-area plants restructure, Intel's supply chain consolidates, or lumber operations wind down, KD Auctions provides the managed liquidation expertise that lenders, trustees, and corporate owners need. We serve the Portland metro and all of Oregon.
