Live Industrial Auctions – professional, efficient, profit-maximising  
  Plant or location closings? Live industrial auctions might be an efficient and profit-maximising solution. Surplex offers the full range of services:  
     
  Valuation Services
Surplex has experience in valuating a wide range of industrial assets from complete plants, production lines to individual machines. Certified valuations have many uses including determining market value, determining transfer prices for internal sales, and deciding on an auction.

Preparations
As soon as general conditions have been established, all objects will be categorised in logical groups on site and the order of presentation will be determined to ensure a well-organised and engaging auction. All positions will be digitally photographed, listed and catalogued. The catalogues will be made available to prospective buyers in digital and printed form.
 
     
  Marketing
Our extensive marketing program ../includes:
  • Print and digital full colour brochures
  • Mailings sent directly to carefully selected buyers from our extensive customer database
  • Local and regional newspaper and flyer advertising
  • Online marketplace www.surplex.com
  • International advertising in .communicator magazine (circulation over 45.000 copies, over 100.000 readers!), making it the leading European used machinery trade journal
 
  Auction Day
The auction day is well organized – certainly in compliance with safety, security and privacy concerns.

Prospective buyers will be registered fast and easily via an onsite computer network. Transactions can be matched to customers immediately after the auction ended. Bills and receipts can also be made available immediately after the auction. The collected data will only be used by Surplex – and will not be made available to third parties.

It is also possible to submit proxy bids before the auction starts. All necessary forms can be found in the download area.

Payments can be made cash or by cheque (for immediate removal a bank guaranteed cheque is required). After full payment is received the auctioned items can be removed. All necessary forms and our terms and conditions can also be found in the download area.

Completion
The site will be cleared and cleaned-up within a few days of the auction. A final summary meeting is held to review the sale and the proceeds generated.

Private Treaty Sales
At times it is preferred to sell a company as a whole. In those special cases Surplex is also your partner for all sales, negotiations and marketing activities.
