Why Sell to Us?
What Makes Us Different from Other Buyers
Guaranteed Export to Netherlands
Unlike local buyers who resell in the UK, we export everything to our 5+ hectare European warehouse network. Your machinery will NEVER reach your UK competitors - this is contractually guaranteed.
Why this matters: Selling to local brokers means your competitors could acquire your equipment. We eliminate this risk completely.
Higher Prices Through International Markets
Because we have access to buyers across 40+ countries and immediate warehouse space in the Netherlands, we can pay above UK market rates. Our European network creates higher demand and better valuations.
Why this matters: Local buyers can only resell in the UK market. Our international reach means we can afford to pay more.
Payment Before Collection - No Exceptions
We ALWAYS pay the full agreed amount before our teams touch your equipment. This is written into every contract. No waiting for machinery to be sold. No payment delays. Zero risk.
Why this matters: Some buyers pay only after reselling your equipment (which could take months) or deduct "unexpected" costs after collection. We eliminate all payment risk.
Professional Removal Service
Our dismantling teams manage everything from transport and lifting to complex machinery removal. With qualified engineers, full insurance, and strict health and safety compliance, we ensure every site is left clean and secure.
Why this matters: You don't arrange anything. We handle dismantling, transport, and clearance professionally - no subcontractors or cowboys.
Fast Decisions & Quick Removal
We provide a fast, reliable service with initial valuations delivered within 24 hours and site visits arranged shortly after. Formal quotations are issued immediately after assessment, and collections are scheduled at your preferred timeline. For urgent needs, emergency removals are also available.
Why this matters: Factory closures, administration sales, and production changes have tight timelines. We move fast when you need us to.
Financial Strength for Large Purchases
As part of Europe's largest food machinery dealership network we can handle purchases of all sizes, single machines, complete production lines, entire factories and multi-site acquisitions
Why this matters: We have the financial capacity and warehouse space to purchase at any scale. No purchase is too large.
What We Buy
Please Note:
We DO NOT buy from: Restaurants, takeaways, chip shops, small cafés. We ONLY buy: Industrial food production machinery.
Export Guarantee
Your Machinery Will Never Reach UK Competitors
All machinery purchased from UK sellers is exported to our Netherlands warehouse network operated by Van Zutphen BV and Industrial Freezing BV. We do not resell in the UK market.
Where your machinery goes:
- Collected from your UK site
- Transported to our Netherlands warehouse
- Refurbished/tested if required
- Sold to international buyers across Europe, Middle East, Asia, and beyond
Why this matters:
When you sell to local brokers, your machinery often stays in the UK and could be purchased by competitors. This can:
- Give competitors access to proven equipment
- Undercut your market position
- Create direct competition from your former technology
Our export guarantee eliminates this concern completely.
Contractual commitment:
This guarantee is written into every purchase contract. If you require export documentation for your records, we can provide it.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you buy non-working machinery?
- Yes. We buy all conditions - working, non-working, or requiring refurbishment. Please mention the condition when requesting a valuation. Non-working machinery typically has lower value, but we're still interested.
- What if my machinery is very old?
- Age affects value but doesn't prevent purchase. Many older machines are still valuable, especially well-maintained equipment from quality manufacturers. Get a valuation - you might be surprised.
- Can I sell just one machine or do you only buy complete lines?
- We buy both! Single machines or complete factories worth millions. No purchase is too small or too large.
- How quickly can you remove machinery?
- To your timeline, be that a few days or a few weeks.
- What if machinery is on upper floors or difficult to access?
- We have extensive experience with complex removals including upper floors, tight access, and restricted sites. This rarely prevents purchase but may affect price if removal is particularly difficult.
- Do you buy leased or financed equipment?
- Yes - we can work with finance companies to settle agreements or arrange equipment return as part of the process.
- Can you provide references?
- Yes - we can provide references from previous clients (subject to their permission and confidentiality agreements).
- What if I'm not happy with your valuation?
- Valuations can be subjective. We're always happy to explain our pricing and discuss your expectations. There's no obligation to accept our offer.
- Do you offer part-exchange?
- No - we're buyers only, not sellers. We don't supply replacement equipment.
- Can you help with disconnection and utilities?
- We handle all machinery disconnection. For permanent utility isolations, you may need to arrange this with suppliers, but we can coordinate with our removal schedule
