Surplex has been carrying out factory closures for as long as 25 years.
As an interface in the sales process, we are equally committed to buyers and sellers. We are constantly improving the quality of our ISO-certified services. As a result, we offer both customer groups a unique blend of digital expertise and personal service. Surplex makes every closure a success - online and offline!
The closure of a factory results in the sudden release of hundreds or thousands of machines and equipment. In order to sell all assets efficiently and in line with market requirements, a powerful auction platform is indispensable in the digital age. Only an online channel that brings together supply and demand worldwide makes it possible to sell industrial goods by the minute. Surplex has been at the forefront of this trend at an early stage and is constantly pushing the development of its auction platform. Today, surplex.com is the strongest selling auction platform in the industry. A dynamic that benefits both sides: buyers profit from the large supply and sellers from the strong demand at surplex.com. Both appreciate Surplex' professionalism, speed and transparency of service.
Yet a successful factory closure requires much more than a powerful auction platform! Equally important is the professional preparation and follow-up of the sale, which often involves thousands of items. This is where Surplex focuses on the human factor. Our experts find a professional solution for every aspect of a closure - from A to Z.
Only a few industrial auction houses offer a specialised valuation based on countless sales. Only a few provide support for their customers in over 20 languages. Unique in the industry, however, is our after-sales service, which includes specialists for logistics and customs formalities. This makes international machinery export easier and more lucrative than expected. On the buyer side, our service attracts attention to the range of machines on offer and inspires confidence in their reliability. We achieve optimal revenues for the seller and relieve him of all operational tasks.

More machines - More efficiency - More service
Machine dealers, workshops and industrial companies use the closure of a factory to supplement their own machinery quickly and cost-effectively. The concentration of thousands of assets in a single location makes factory closures very attractive. The range of products for sale includes not only individual machines, machinery packages and complete production lines, but also forklifts, storage technology, peripheral equipment, workshop equipment and much more. The prospect of making multiple finds at the same location facilitates transport and reduces costs.
Machines that are for sale at a factory closure are available immediately. In addition, they have already proven themselves in ongoing production. Their quality is usually impeccable. Long running-in times are no longer necessary, and the machines can be immediately integrated into production at the new location. Many larger machines are still under power, thus ready for demonstration. If you wish, we can organise an on-site visit. This creates additional security. Last but not least, the closure of a factory gives the opportunity to purchase modern machinery far below the original price.
As a prospective buyer, the Surplex team will assist you in all phases of the purchase process. General inquiries are handled by our friendly customer service, who speaks more than 20 languages. Technical details can be discussed with experienced machine experts. A product catalogue with photos and videos makes the purchase decision easier.
During the online auction on surplex.com, all prices are directly visible for more transparency. There is always a chance of getting a bargain, even though realistic market prices usually arise during the bidding process. After the auction, you will benefit from our unique after-sales service, which also includes dismantling, loading and customs formalities.
Professional assets liquidation - Developed by experts
From the point of view of the seller, the success of a factory closure is determined by two aspects: optimal revenues and smooth processes. After 25 years of experience, Surplex sets standards in both areas. Our auction platform surplex.com regularly achieves hammer prices at insolvency auctions that significantly exceed the liquidation value determined by the appraiser. There is therefore a good chance that the result will exceed the expectations of the seller.
As soon as the timetable for the closure of your factory is set, Surplex will provide you with a dedicated project manager. This person is a machine expert, consultant, and troubleshooter all in one. Project managers at Surplex think in a strictly revenue-oriented way, work with you in a trusting relationship and take over all tasks. Once your project manager has started working on the factory closure, you can sit back and leave everything in our hands.
Thanks to years of experience and a strong Surplex team behind them, our experts are up to any challenge. Narrow time windows are just as little a problem as difficult structural or spatial conditions. If necessary, we will open hall roofs, support ceilings or deconstruct buildings. The project manager organises all necessary measures in an efficient way. Our specialists are also very familiar with the dismantling of large machinery. They organise cranes, make the necessary arrangements with the buyers and bring specialised service providers on board.
And while the Surplex team is working hard on the swept-clean handover of the factory buildings, your project manager will prepare a complete documentation of the entire sales process. More efficiency and higher revenues - these are professional factory closures made by Surplex.
