Industrial market in transition: Denny Precision Ltd relies on Surplex for machine auction

When closing a business, many challenges arise for the owner. It is wise to seek the help of a specialist for the sale of used machinery during a business closure. The English Engineering company Denny Precision Ltd also relied on experts: Over 100 machines are up for auction at the industrial auction platform Surplex closing on 28 June.

The industrial market in the United Kingdom is facing a series of unprecedented challenges. The consequences of Brexit are among the greatest difficulties. Trade barriers, customs duties, and supply chain issues are troubling companies. The procurement of raw materials and spare parts can become a bottleneck, while competitive pressure is steadily increasing.

Added to this are geopolitical influences such as the aftermath of the pandemic and political tensions that exacerbate supply chain problems and drive-up prices. The rising energy costs add to the economic strains. For companies that are struggling to maintain their production capacity under these conditions, closing the business may be the only way out – especially if rising costs unsettle the buyer base or if a succession arrangement cannot be found. When a company is dissolved, disposing of the inventory is one of the hard steps to take.

In these turbulent times, companies need a reliable partner more than ever. A partner who safely navigates them on the rough sea of the used machinery market and who helps them to clear their production halls on time and cost-effectively.

Machine auction after business closure
Denny Precision Ltd, a respected company in metal processing, has made a difficult decision given the increasingly demanding market situation: the closure of the company. Therefore, the inventory, including the operational and manufacturing equipment, is now being offered for sale through the industrial auction house Surplex.

Until 28/06/2023, you can browse and bid on the rich offer from Denny Precision Ltd on Surplex.com. This sale includes many 5-axis multi-pallets machining centres, a FANUC Robodrill automated system, many late-model STAR Swiss machines, and much more. The systems are in showroom condition and under power. An on-site inspection in Norwich is possible by arrangement. Interested parties can also browse through the factory hall via a virtual online 3D tour.
