Metalworking Auctions & Asset Sales

Metalworking operations generate surplus machinery, tooling, and shop assets as production methods evolve, facilities consolidate, and manufacturers realign capacity. Heritage Global Partners has supported sellers across this sector through job shops, fabrication facilities, OEM suppliers, and industrial manufacturers, including single-site shop closures and multi-location equipment dispositions, often spanning distributed manufacturing environments.

Assets in this category originate from machining centers, fabrication shops, maintenance operations, and industrial manufacturing environments. These transactions address operational needs for buyers requiring precision metalworking equipment, fabrication systems, and supporting shop infrastructure for secondary-market deployment across manufacturing, construction, energy, and industrial markets.

Typical Assets Sold

  • CNC machining centers and turning centers
  • Manual and CNC lathes, mills, and grinders
  • Fabrication equipment, including press brakes and shears
  • Laser cutters, plasma cutters, and waterjet systems
  • Welding machines and robotic welding cells
