Injection molding machine auctions, valuations & plant liquidations.
Sterling Machinery Exchange helps plastic manufacturers, injection molding shops, thermoforming companies, extrusion facilities, lenders, estates, and corporate asset managers sell molding machines, robots, dryers, chillers, grinders, molds, tooling, and complete facilities.
Plastic equipment has value hiding in the whole system.
- Injection molding machines, robots, dryers and chillers
- Molds, tooling, grinders, material handling and support assets
- Plastic machinery valuation before sale or auction
- Cash purchase, consignment, private sale or auction review
- Complete plastic plant liquidation and asset recovery
- Rigging, trucking, loading and removal coordination
Injection molding liquidation is more than selling the presses.
A plastic manufacturing plant may include molding machines, molds, robots, granulators, dryers, loaders, chillers, temperature controllers, air compressors, forklifts, pallet racking, resin inventory, and plant support equipment. Sterling reviews the entire equipment package before recommending a selling strategy.
The best recovery path may be a cash purchase, consignment, online auction, private sale, restricted-buyer sale, or complete plant liquidation. The goal is simple: find the route that gives the seller the strongest practical recovery, not just the fastest hammer drop.
