Manufacturing

Industrial manufacturing covers a wide variety of production facilities responsible for making components, machinery, and finished products. Businesses frequently modernize their equipment and processes to meet changing demands and industry standards.

MTE purchases a wide range of industrial machinery and equipment from manufacturers, including CNC machines, metalworking and fabrication equipment, assembly lines, conveyor systems, robotics and automation technology, testing and quality control systems, and material handling equipment. Our streamlined process helps businesses realize value from surplus assets quickly and efficiently.

Why this matters?

Closing or decommissioning a facility is complex, you’re dealing with redundant machinery, environmental disposal, logistics, and safety. We step in to turn what looks like a headache into a value-recovery opportunity.

I was skeptical at first about selling my decommissioned plant machine online, but the experience completely changed my mind. The team guided me through every step, handled the evaluation quickly, and within a week I had a fair offer in hand. The process was transparent, professional, and stress-free. I'd definitely recommend MTE to anyone looking to sell their machines without hassle.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I decided to sell some of our older CNC machines from our facility. I had heard mixed experiences from other sellers, so I was naturally cautious. From the very first conversation with the team, I could tell this process would be different. They took the time to understand the type of equipment I had, walked me through the evaluation process, and explained how they determine fair market pricing.
