Our Industrial Equipment Sales Process

While our participants may see a smooth process, the intricate background work of running an auction requires an experienced professional. At Schneider Industries, we perform live and online auctions conducted by a professional auctioneer who knows and understands the assets for sale.

Auctions often include real-time internet bidding as well, allowing thousands of bidders who can’t physically attend to place bids in conjunction with the live auction. We utilize this system to reach the largest target audience of potential buyers.

Laying the Groundwork

Here’s a detailed look at our proven process for selling surplus industrial assets at auction:

  • Professional Asset Documentation: Our team conducts thorough equipment cataloging, capturing essential details like manufacturer specifications, model information, and precise measurements. A detailed inventory ensures transparent transactions and accurate buyer information.
  • Strategic Marketing Reach: We deploy comprehensive marketing strategies targeting qualified industrial buyers worldwide. Our multi-channel approach includes digital campaigns, industry publications, and specialized networks to maximize exposure for your assets.
  • Seamless Buyer Management: Our experienced team handles all buyer communications, from initial inquiries to equipment inspections. We coordinate viewings, answer technical questions, and manage the entire buyer relationship process.
  • Complete Financial Protection: We back every transaction with comprehensive insurance coverage, including business liability, workers’ compensation, and additional specialized protection as needed to ensure risk-free transactions for all parties.
  • Secure Transaction Management: We handle all financial aspects of the sale through our secure payment system. The only processing methods we leverage are wire transfers and verified payments, with complete accounting transparency and prompt settlement after equipment removal.
  • Coordinated Equipment Removal: While we sell all assets “as is, where is,” our team manages the removal process to ensure smooth transitions. We coordinate with buyers and their riggers to minimize disruption and ensure proper facility care, with the purchaser handling all removal costs.

Auction Day

Learn about the other steps in our auction process:

  • Auction Day Catalog: Once we’ve reviewed the information, we produce an Auction Day Catalog that bidders can reference during the preview. These catalogs include a lot list, lot numbers, and descriptions of the inventory or property. The catalogs also feature terms and conditions for each lot.
  • Auction Day: On auction day, we collect contact information from all bidders during the registration process and distribute catalogs and bidder paddles. When the auction begins, we read the terms and conditions out loud to set clear expectations and place all buyers on the same playing field. A member of our professional auctioneer team then conducts the auction. We may sell some lots individually or in combination with an entire product line. Our auctioneers decide at their discretion to ensure the assets bring you the most value.
  • Check Out: Following the auction, we can bring an on-site representative to oversee asset removal and coordinate with riggers if necessary. Our goal is to ensure that all removals adhere to the timeline outlined in the terms and that your property remains in suitable condition.
  • Settlement: We’ll provide a copy of every transaction that took place, including a list of all registered bidders, assets sold with their respective prices, and the total amount sold. We’ll remit funds for the operational and marketing expenses to you approximately 20 days after the auction.

Additional Services for Sellers

Depending on your goals, other selling options may be more fruitful than an auction. For instance, you might have specialized equipment for sale that would benefit from a smaller pool of buyers. In these scenarios, we offer additional selling services, including Orderly Negotiated Sales (ONS) and Sealed Bid Sales.

Orderly Negotiated Sales

Individual assets, production lines, or entire facilities can be offered for sale on global markets. Our professional team facilitates and undertakes the sale, which takes the form of discussion and negotiation between you and the buyer. Schneider Industries offers ONS for numerous types of assets, including business liquidation and factory and asset liquidation.

Sealed Bid Sales

In a Sealed Bid Sale, we make an “Invitation for Bid,” or IFB, available to prospective buyers through the mail, by fax on demand, or online. The IFB contains item descriptions, sale terms and conditions, locations and inspection times, and a bid form. The winning buyer has the highest acceptable offer.

Our Past Auctions

Schneider Industries has a worldwide presence utilizing our operating offices and affiliates in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, England, Russia, and Switzerland. We’ve managed surplus equipment sales and subsequent plant removal/clean–out activities for corporations such as:
