Aerospace and automotive manufacturing operations generate surplus production assets as facilities modernize, programs wind down, and manufacturing footprints change. Heritage Global Partners has led complex asset dispositions within this sector for original equipment manufacturers, tier-one suppliers, and specialized subcontractors, including surplus equipment dispositions and complete facility liquidations, often involving large, regulated operating environments.
Assets in this category originate from active production environments, legacy manufacturing sites, and consolidation-driven closures. These transactions have supported buyers seeking precision manufacturing capacity, plant-level assets, and specialized tooling across regulated and industrial manufacturing sectors.
Many assets can be repurposed for non-certified manufacturing, training, R&D, or industrial use. Buyers are responsible to review any certification, traceability, or regulatory constraints tied to the original program.
Sales can be structured to limit access, restrict export, or exclude sensitive documentation while still maximizing recovery value.
