How we move equipment

Marston Sourcing was organized around a discipline borrowed from powertrain engineering: before any component moves, you map the entire system. That same logic governs every equipment transaction we manage — whether the asset is a bank of injection molding presses, a rotational mold line, a tool and die toolroom, or anything else running on a production floor. The work begins with a valuation. Marston Sourcing produces documented appraisals covering fair market value, orderly disposition value, and forced liquidation value — written numbers that hold their ground in front of a lender, an auditor, an estate attorney, or a conference room full of competing bidders. We appraise the complete category spectrum: die cast cells, fabrication departments, thermoform lines, EDM equipment, extrusion and extruders, stamping operations, mold inventories and product lines, rubber and silicone processing machinery, Swiss turning centers, blow mold systems, grinding assets, CNC machining centers, and auxiliary and automation equipment. The appraisal is not a preliminary step — it is the foundation that every downstream decision is built on. Once the numbers are documented, the disposition path follows from them. Marston Sourcing purchases equipment outright, deploying committed capital when a seller's priority is speed and certainty. For situations where timeline flexibility exists and ceiling price matters more than close date, we structure and manage consignment arrangements — placing assets with qualified buyers across our North American reach and into a global buyer network that is always active. When a plant closure, restructuring, or estate situation demands a defined endpoint and a single settlement date, we organize and run auctions and managed liquidations designed to maximize recovery against a hard deadline. On the acquisition side, Marston Sourcing works as a dedicated sourcing agent for manufacturers who need a specific capability, not just the nearest available unit. The powertrain sourcing model means we trace the requirement backward through the system — spec, tolerance, throughput, maintenance history, remaining service life — before we commit to a machine or recommend one. That rigor is what separates a sourcing firm from a listing service. When a transaction extends beyond individual assets, Marston Sourcing manages complete business sales and turnkey facility exits. We handle the contracts, real estate, and M&E as a single coordinated transaction — one point of accountability rather than separate advisors pulling toward different outcomes.
