How we move your assets
Harlow Equipment is organized around a single operating discipline: the auction is not the fallback — it is the strategy, and everything leading up to it is managed with that outcome in mind. Every engagement begins with a documented valuation. Whether the number needs to hold up for a lender, an estate attorney, or a boardroom full of stakeholders, we produce written fair market, orderly liquidation, and forced sale figures for any category of production equipment on the floor — blow mold systems and EDM cells, automation and auxiliary lines, CNC turning centers, Swiss precision equipment, injection molding presses, rotational mold machinery, die cast operations, extrusion and extruder configurations, thermoform cells, rubber and silicone processing lines, metal stamping presses, fabrication departments, grinding systems, tool and die rooms, and complete mold and tooling inventories. Once the numbers are on paper, the disposition path follows from them. Harlow Equipment buys equipment outright when speed and certainty are the priority — committed capital, no contingencies, no waiting on a buyer to surface. When the asset mix, the timeline, or the recovery target calls for a different structure, we manage consignment programs that place machinery directly with vetted buyers across a North American and global network. Auction events and managed liquidations are where Harlow Equipment carries its deepest expertise: we build the event from the ground up, managing buyer qualification, lot organization, marketing reach, and settlement through a single point of contact. Plant closures, bankruptcy proceedings, and ownership transitions all benefit from a defined endpoint, and that is exactly what a properly run auction delivers. Appraisals and valuations support every stage — not as a formality, but as the analytical foundation the entire strategy rests on. For sellers whose situation extends beyond the equipment itself, Harlow Equipment handles complete business sales and turnkey facility exits. We coordinate those transactions so the contracts, real estate, and M&E move under one structured process — a single accountable party managing every component rather than three separate firms pulling toward different deadlines.
