Our Target Market: Commercial and Industrial Businesses Closing Down

When commercial and industrial businesses face closure, they often find themselves at a crossroads. Some choose to go into liquidation or administration, while others sell assets (plant and machinery) to dealers, dispose of stock or finished products to existing customers or dealers, organise auctions, or even resort to garage sales for smaller operations. No matter the situation, our team is here to assist.

Why Choose to Work with Hilco APAC?

When considering your options during a plant closure, here’s why you should talk to us:

1. Fair Outright Buy Price: We offer a fair outright purchase price, providing you with clarity and assurance about what you’ll receive for your assets.
2. Risk Removal: We take away all the risk for the client. We provide an agreed-upon date for asset removal and ensure that premises are left in good condition.
3. Comprehensive Solutions: Unlike some dealers, we are often interested in taking everything, from plant and machinery to stock, work in progress, brand assets, databases, and intellectual property.
4. Global Exposure: With a vast network of 2 million industrial buyers both locally and internationally, we can connect your assets with the right audience, maximising their value.
5. Asset Valuation Expertise: Our team has the skills and knowledge to identify the true value in your plant and machinery, stock, work in progress, brand assets, databases, and intellectual property.

We’re not just about closing deals; we’re about uncovering new opportunities. When it’s time to transition your business, we can provide complete project management solutions that deliver results. Contact us today to discover how we can assist you during this critical time of change.

Testimonials

Please fill the form and our team will be in touch with you.

Thanks to you and the Hilco team for successfully selling all the equipment at GSK Boronia. Following a thorough selection process, GSK appointed Hilco to manage the asset disposal project after the decision to close our facility in Boronia. We are very pleased with the end result.

The result achieved by Hilco exceeded your initial estimated sale realisation by over 35% and our own internal estimates. GSK are very pleased by your ability to attract international buyers from the US, Germany, China, Thailand, Singapore, Italy, Turkey, Africa and locally. The project required flexibility as there were internal asset request transfers which were accommodated through a simple process.

The asset removal process was smooth and the approach of encouraging buyers to work with a select few contractors streamlined the removal process.

I would highly recommend Hilco to other Corporates seeking an asset remarketing partner with access to a global buyer database, all the best for future projects.

Thank you for assisting 37 Degrees with an ambitious exit program from the “Tupperware Diecraft” toolroom in Reservoir, Melbourne. As discussed with you we spoke to a number of auction houses that all provided us with proposals. We really liked the transparent approach offered by Hilco APAC which was a simple outright purchase which eliminated a lot of the risks associated with conducting an auction. We have attended auctions and depending on the day the owner can often be left with a disappointing result and a lot of assets that didn’t make reserve. That isn’t what we wanted!

Hilco quickly turned around an offer to purchase and worked with us to have all assets removed form the site including some assets that were sold prior. We knew exactly how much we were going to get for the assets and importantly that all assets were sold and would not remain on site.

I can comfortably recommend Hilco APAC as an attractive option to provide complete certainty over the sale result and comfort that all assets are sold and removed from the facility. We were impressed by the ability for Hilco to sell a number of assets overseas as well as locally to end user buyers.
