We recently received a call from a long-standing manufacturing company located in San Gabriel, California. This company specialized in producing high-quality hand tools and had decided to close their doors. Whether it was due to retirement, business consolidation, or another personal reason, the owners were ready to move forward—and they needed an experienced, trustworthy team to help them sell their equipment quickly and efficiently.

That’s where we came in.

At Sterling Machinery Auctioneers, we’ve been helping businesses like this one since 1954, offering full-service auctions, liquidations, and machinery purchases. This company had a complete manufacturing plant full of top-tier metalworking machinery and equipment—including multiple Haas VF-3 CNC Vertical Machining Centers, a Haas TL-1 Lathe, several Bridgeport milling machines, forklifts, air compressors, radial drills, a massive selection of hand tools, tool cabinets, pallet racking, and yes—even the trash cans.

They wanted a turnkey operation, and we delivered.

🔧 What We Did

Once contacted, our expert auctioneers arranged a visit to the San Gabriel facility. We walked the plant with the owners, discussed their timeline, and explained the full auction process—whether they wanted a full liquidation, direct purchase, or an online and live auction broadcast to our worldwide buyer network.

From there, we got to work:

• Inventorying every piece of machinery and tooling

• Cleaning and preparing all items for viewing

• Professional photography and video walkthroughs

• 

• Creating a custom auction page on SterlingMachineryAuctions.com

• Worldwide marketing via email, print, social media, and industry-specific platforms

• Live online auction setup with real-time bidding from across the globe

Our team handled everything from start to finish so the owners could focus on their next steps. No stress, no hassle—just results.

💡 Thinking of Selling Your Machinery?

If you’re in a similar situation—closing a plant, retiring, relocating, or liquidating due to a family matter—call us at 626-444-0311. Our experienced auctioneers can walk you through the process and let you know how to get the most money for your machinery and equipment.

We recommend starting the auction process at least 60 days before your ideal sale date, but if you’re on a tight timeline, we can expedite everything and still make it happen safely, efficiently, and professionally.

We’ve sold everything from heavy-duty CNCs and press brakes to workbenches and wire racks, so no item is too big—or too small—for our team.
