Systemax Manufacturing
Industrial cycles ebb and flow. At one point, Systemax was the 3rd largest computer manufacturer in the United States. Their sprawling 300,000 square foot facility in central Ohio was packed with heavy equipment, pallet racking, forklifts, furniture and overstock inventory.
Systemax 300,000 Sq. Ft. Facility | Ohio Industrial Auction | $638,528 Realized
Industrial markets shift, and even national manufacturers must adapt. When Systemax — once the third-largest computer manufacturer in the United States — transitioned operations, a 300,000-square-foot Ohio facility remained packed with valuable business assets.
This large-scale industrial liquidation required more than a standard auction. It demanded experienced industrial auction services capable of handling complex commercial asset disposition at scale.
Situation
The central Ohio warehouse and manufacturing facility contained:
- Heavy industrial equipment
- Extensive pallet racking systems
- Forklifts and material handling equipment
- Office furniture and fixtures
- Overstock and surplus inventory
Without a structured liquidation plan, these assets would have become a major carrying cost and operational liability. The client required a professional industrial auction company in Ohio capable of organizing, marketing, and executing a high-volume warehouse equipment auction efficiently.
Solution
Worley Auctioneers mobilized a dedicated team of professionals specializing in business asset liquidation and industrial auctions.
Our team:
- Deployed onsite to stage and organize the 300,000 sq. ft. facility
- Cataloged thousands of lots using a strategic lotting plan
- Implemented targeted marketing to equipment dealers, manufacturers, and warehouse operators nationwide
- Executed a comprehensive industrial equipment auction
- Coordinated post-sale settlement and asset removal logistics
Our goal was twofold: maximize competitive bidding while delivering a clean, timely facility turnover.
Outcome
The large-scale equipment auction generated strong nationwide participation and competitive bidding across all asset categories.
Total Realized: $638,528
Equally important, the facility was efficiently cleared — eliminating storage costs, security risks, and ongoing overhead. The project reinforced Worley Auctioneers’ reputation as a trusted partner for industrial liquidation services and commercial asset disposition in Ohio and beyond.
