Frequently Asked Questions

Aaron Equipment can assist with the sale and liquidation of entire manufacturing facilities, including individual equipment assets, complete production lines, surplus inventory, and support equipment. Whether you are closing a single facility or divesting multiple locations, Aaron can help evaluate assets, develop a sales strategy, and connect equipment with qualified buyers worldwide to maximize recovery value.

A plant closure refers to the shutdown of a manufacturing facility's operations. A plant liquidation is the process of selling the facility's assets, including machinery, production equipment, inventory, and support systems. While a closure is the operational decision to cease production, liquidation focuses on converting assets into cash and managing the disposition of equipment.

A plant liquidation auction may be a good option when a facility must be cleared within a specific timeframe, when a large volume of assets needs to be sold quickly, or when multiple buyers are likely to compete for the equipment. Auctions can help accelerate the sales process, though the best liquidation method depends on factors such as equipment type, market demand, timeline, and value recovery goals.

Project timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the facility, but Aaron Equipment can often begin evaluating assets shortly after an initial consultation. Once equipment inventories and project goals are reviewed, a liquidation plan can be developed and implemented according to the client's schedule and operational requirements.

Plant liquidations often include process equipment, packaging machinery, production lines, tanks, reactors, mixers, pumps, heat exchangers, boilers, compressors, material handling equipment, laboratory equipment, electrical systems, and maintenance shop assets. The specific equipment included varies by industry and facility type.

To begin the evaluation process, it is helpful to provide information such as facility location, equipment lists, asset photos, manufacturer and model numbers, equipment condition, operational status, project timeline, and any removal requirements. The more detailed the information provided, the more accurately Aaron Equipment can assess the assets and recommend an appropriate liquidation strategy.
