Nettleton Company

Decades of deals. One name that keeps showing up.

Nettleton Company trades used industrial machinery the way a seasoned dealer should — knowing the equipment, knowing the market, and showing up with committed capital when a seller needs to move.

The Nettleton name has been on used machinery deals long enough that the company's reputation travels ahead of every introduction. That is not an accident — it is the result of operating as a dealer in the truest sense: taking real positions, quoting honest numbers, and finishing what we start. Used-machinery dealing is not a business that rewards vagueness. A seller hands over a line that took years to build and expects a straight answer about what it is worth and how fast it will move. A buyer commits capital to a machine they often cannot see running and expects the description to match the asset. Nettleton Company holds itself to both standards simultaneously, which is exactly what makes the model work. We cover the full production floor — extrusion, blow mold equipment, injection molding machinery, and every secondary category from grinding and EDM to stamping, die casting, and mold inventories — because depth of coverage creates depth of market. The buyer for a rotomold line and the buyer for a Swiss turning cell are rarely the same person, and having reach into both networks is what converts a hard-to-move asset into a closed deal. No fabricated numbers, no channel-driven recommendations, no daylight between what we tell a seller and what we tell a buyer.

Nettleton Company is a working dealer — which means capital is committed, positions are real, and the desk is open when a manufacturer needs to act. The most direct path is an outright purchase: we evaluate the equipment, make an offer, and close it. No contingencies, no waiting on a third-party buyer to surface. That model fits sellers who need certainty more than ceiling, and it is where Nettleton Company has always been most useful. When the asset mix, the timeline, or the recovery target calls for a different structure, we manage consignment programs — placing machinery directly with qualified buyers across our North American network and through a live global buyer reach that keeps the pipeline moving in both directions. Auctions and managed liquidations are part of the toolkit as well. A plant closure, a bankruptcy proceeding, or an estate situation has a defined endpoint, and Nettleton Company organizes the event, drives attendance, and closes the floor on schedule. The equipment categories we work across are broad by design. Extrusion and extruders, blow mold lines, and injection molding presses are where the company carries its deepest inventory positions, but the desk handles the full production floor: rotational mold and rotomold lines, rubber and silicone machinery, precision grinding equipment, wire and ram EDM cells, thermoform systems, Swiss turning centers, CNC machining centers, die cast equipment, fabrication lines, automation and auxiliary systems, tool & die assets, stamping presses, and mold inventories with associated product lines. Appraisals and documented valuations underpin every engagement where numbers matter to a lender, a court, or a negotiating table. We produce orderly liquidation, forced sale, and fair market figures that hold up under scrutiny — written, signed, and defensible. On the buy side, Nettleton Company sources specific equipment for manufacturers who need the right machine rather than the first available one, working the used market until the asset matches the spec. When a transaction extends beyond individual machines, Nettleton Company handles complete going-concern and turnkey facility exits. We manage the business sale from first conversation to final close. The real estate, M&E, and contract obligations transfer as one coordinated package — a single point of accountability rather than three separate parties pulling toward different outcomes.
