Multinational Food Manufacturer

The challenge

After removing a product line from their portfolio, our client was left with millions of dollars of specialized production equipment that they no longer needed. Initially moved to a central warehouse for potential redeployment, the assets sat idle after the company shifted direction.As they sat idle, they racked up needless carrying costs. On top of that, the finance team realized late that they wanted to move the assets off the books before the fiscal year was up. Our client needed acomplete solution to move the inventory, and they needed to move quickly.

Amplioʼs solution

Decommissioned capital equipment is best sold via negotiated sales and auctions to maximize recovery within a predictable time window. We:

• Took end-to-end ownership of surplus disposition with a single, accountable process
• Leveraged Amplioʼs network of thousands of end users and specialized dealers to maximize return
• Oversaw buyer coordination, compliance, and logistics to minimize risk
• Removed the execution burden from internal teams, allowing stakeholders to stay focused on coreoperations while Amplio handled the work in the background

Thanks to our professional approach and large buying network, we were able to exceed our clients expectations for return and meet finances need to move the assets in 2025. No items went unsold, so bulky, low-value equipment that would have incurred tens of thousands of dollars of removal costsinstead were rigged and paid for by buyers.

With a clean facility and balance sheet, our client could refocus on growth priorities.

The Results

• Achieved $450,000 gross, beating projections by 20% despite short marketing period
• Sold every item, zeroing out large estimated disposal costs
• Met tight timeframe to enable finance to write off inventory at end of fiscal year
