From capital equipment to the last pallet of MRO, we appraise, route, and sell your entire plant through the channels that return the most, so you close the site once and recover more.
from surplus events we can directly observe:
cancellations, closures, dead MRO stock
Over a tenth of industrial capital projects are cancelled. Equipment already ordered doesn't get returned; it becomes surplus.
A closure leaves production lines, machinery, MRO, and other spares on site with no planned use. Lease terms set the deadline while security, insurance, and storage costs keep climbing. The right move clears the facility on time without settling for fire-sale prices.
Consolidating operations leaves duplicate equipment across locations, tying up space and capital. Often the smartest path isn't a sell-off. Some machines are worth redeploying to another site, and we help you tell those apart from the ones worth selling.
When volume drops, machinery and tooling sit idle for months. Carrying costs alone can reach roughly 21% of asset value per year, before you count the floor space and working capital they tie up. Downsizing is the moment to turn that equipment back into capital.
When one line goes down while the rest of the plant runs, its equipment becomes dead weight. It blocks floor space and delays plans for a replacement. Partial liquidation clears it, and where a machine still has life, redeployment may return more than a sale.
When enterprises need to wind down a plant or retire capital equipment, they don't get a fire sale. We get them a disposition strategy that returns real capital, hits hard deadlines, and leaves nothing on the floor.
A global eCommerce and web infrastructure leader needed an entire facility emptied on a tight timeline. Our demand-led auction strategy moved every lot, clearing the full million-square-foot site in just two weeks.
Instead of accepting a lowball equipment buyout when clearing facilities to prepare for a merger, a global IT integrator trusted us with a retail consignment strategy. We delivered a 7x cash return compared to their best previous offer, with full flexibility and strict compliance throughout.
A multinational food manufacturer had to clear surplus production equipment before fiscal year-end. We sold every item ahead of the deadline, and we beat the client's return projections by 20%.
We don't just bring in the tools. We bring in the system.
Amplio handles both partial and complete plant liquidation as one managed process.
Every project starts by understanding exactly what's on your floor. We review your plant asset lists, ERP and CMMS data, inventory records, photos, and site details to build a complete picture. Using our AI-powered Manifest camera app, our experts catalog each item's category, quantity, age, condition, ownership, location, and readiness for sale. Next, our AI agents analyze asset data across multiple sites and classify every item for redeployment, liquidation, resale, scrap, recycling, or another recovery path.
Once the scope is clear, we value what your industrial assets are actually worth today. Pricing reflects real condition, current market demand, asset type, buyer interest, and resale potential, not old book value or outdated assumptions. Our agentic AI appraisal software supports each valuation using live asset data and market signals, and our experts review the final recovery path before anything moves.
Not every machine should be sold. Our plan tells you what to redeploy to another site, what to liquidate into the market, and what to responsibly recycle or scrap. Each call is backed by the valuation and market data from the steps before, so the reasoning is clear and defensible. The result is the highest total ROI, not just the easiest sale.
There's no single best way to sell industrial assets, so we match each one to the right liquidation path based on its type, your timeline, current demand, and your recovery goal. Depending on the asset, that might mean a private sale, direct buyer outreach, auction support, a bulk sale, a reseller route, or scrap and recycling. That's what separates strategic plant liquidation from a one-size-fits-all sell-off, and it's how our industrial asset disposition service maximizes your total ROI.
We manage rigging, freight, and site clearance around your schedules, systems, and safety protocols. Our vetted rigging and transport partners handle heavy and complex equipment without disrupting any operations still running. Your facility stays safe, and your team stays focused while we handle the heavy lifting end to end.
From large-asset removal to resale reporting, our workflows align with your risk, legal, and finance requirements. Every sale, removal, and payment is tracked and documented, so nothing falls through the cracks during a complex wind-down. We operate as the seller of record and sell on an as-is, where-is basis to protect you. You get full documentation and visibility at every step, ready for auditors, lenders, or stakeholders.
Sanitary equipment loses value fast once it sits idle and out of spec. Fillers, cappers, labelers, spiral freezers, CIP skids, and ammonia refrigeration hold strong resale value while they're current, so we move quickly to catalog and sell assets while they’re still relevant and in good shape. We know the deadline and we know the buyers, so nothing sits waiting.
Changing production priorities usually means a full line goes dark at once, and the EV transition is reshaping what buyers actually want off that floor. Stamping presses, weld cells, robotic lines, CNC machining centers, and AS/RS material handling all carry serious value. Our standing network of OEM and Tier 1/Tier 2 supplier buyers lets us match assets to demand across the whole site.
Aerospace assets are worth a great deal to the right buyer, but only if the paperwork holds up, and most disposition partners get that part wrong. 5-axis machining centers, autoclaves, CMMs, and NDT equipment all command real money. We manage the material traceability, AS9100 records, and ITAR/EAR export documentation these assets require, so value isn't lost to compliance friction.
Generation equipment is highly specialized and the qualified buyer pool is small, so a broad-market approach leaves money on the table. Gas and steam turbines, generators, HRSGs, transformers, and switchgear each have a narrow set of buyers who will pay for them. Knowing those buyers, getting in touch with them, and getting them to compete is exactly what we do.
These assets are heavy, often remote, and expensive to move, which scares off buyers who can't manage the logistics. Compressors, pumps, turbines, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and OCTG hold real resale value across upstream, midstream, and downstream. We manage the rigging and logistics and place each asset where demand is strongest.
Grid equipment serves a small, specialized set of buyers who know exactly what they want, and lead times on new gear keep secondary demand high. Transformers, substation switchgear, reclosers, breakers, and metering all move to buyers we already reach directly. We run the clearance within the regulatory constraints utilities operate under.
Equipment in this sector moves in and out of demand quickly, so timing and buyer reach decide whether you get real value or fire-sale pricing. SMT lines, pick-and-place, reflow ovens, AOI, and test handlers draw strong, steady industrial demand. We place the site where that demand is highest, not at the bottom of the market.
Decommissioning a data center is a compliance job as much as a clearance one, and the two usually get handled by separate vendors who don't talk to each other. Servers, racks, network gear, UPS systems, and CRAC/CRAH cooling all carry resale value alongside certified data destruction and chain-of-custody documentation. We handle both sides
If your business runs on industrial facilities and you're winding a site down, we can help you recover its value.
No commitment, no upfront cost. Just a clear timeline for your factory liquidation and the options to recover the most from it.
It depends on the size of the facility and your deadline, but speed is where we stand out. We've cleared a one-million-square-foot site in two weeks. Once we've reviewed your asset scope, we'll give you a realistic timeline built around your clearance date, not an open-ended one.
Large-scale manufacturers and enterprises are our focus, since full plants and complex, high-value asset lists are where our system delivers the most. If you're not sure whether your facility fits, the appraisal will tell you quickly, and it costs nothing to find out.
There is no upfront cost. Our AI appraisal and recovery plan is free. You keep ownership of your assets at every stage until sale. We work to keep your out-of-pocket cost as close to zero as possible.
Amplio offers two payment models. The first is an upfront buyout, in which we purchase your assets directly and you get paid right away. The second is a profit-share, in which we sell your assets and retain an agreed share of the proceeds. We also offer more complex business models to overcome the financial pressures and constraints that often accompany facility liquidations.
Yes. We handle partial liquidations alongside live operations all the time, working around your schedules, systems, and safety protocols so the running parts of your plant stay productive and compliant.
We still run them through our appraisal so you have confidence that scrapping or recycling is the right call. From there, we coordinate responsible disposal through licensed, vetted scrapping and rigging partners, so even low-value material is handled properly.
For most equipment, we need the manufacturer, part number, location, quantity, and condition. For larger capital assets, we use the specs from the data plate plus photos. Send us what information you have for us to do a desktop assessment, and then we’ll come to the site and catalog everything ourselves to take that work off your team.
Yes. We run the same playbook across all your locations, with one point of contact and consistent recovery, whether it's one plant or twenty. Working across sites also opens up redeployment opportunities, so instead of selling low and rebuying elsewhere, you move the asset internally and recover more than a sale ever would.
The asset owner is typically responsible for decommissioning costs. In most cases, the proceeds from your asset sales offset those costs, and often exceed them, so the recovery you gain helps fund the wind-down itself.
Logistics for purchased assets are handled by the buyer. Once a sale closes, the buyer arranges and pays for the removal and transport of what they bought.
