Prescott Assets
Prescott Assets enters shuttered and restructuring manufacturing plants with a clear mandate — recover maximum value from every piece of equipment on the floor, from the first assessment to the final removal.
Request a floor assessmentPrescott Assets enters a plant the way a decommissioning specialist should — with a written plan in hand before anything moves. Every engagement opens with a documented valuation: fair market value, orderly liquidation value, and distressed-sale value produced for each asset class on the floor, whether that floor holds extrusion lines and extruders, die cast presses and trim cells, wire and sinker EDM machinery, injection molding presses, blow mold equipment, thermoforming systems, rotational mold carousels, rubber and silicone compounding lines, CNC machining centers, Swiss turning cells, precision grinding machines, metal stamping presses and coil-fed transfer lines, fabrication ironworkers and press brakes, automation and auxiliary handling systems, tool and die benches and toolroom assets, or complete mold inventories tied to active product lines. Those numbers drive every decision that follows — not the other way around. When the valuation points toward a fast, clean exit, Prescott Assets buys outright. We commit capital directly, with no contingency chain waiting to collapse. When a measured disposition strategy will return more — and the timeline allows it — we structure consignment arrangements that place individual assets with qualified buyers across our North American network and our active global buyer reach. Auctions are part of the toolkit as well: when a plant closure, bankruptcy proceeding, or creditor situation demands a defined settlement date and a public price-discovery event, we design and manage the auction from catalog to final gavel. We also work the buy side, sourcing specific equipment on behalf of manufacturers who need a particular capability and have neither the time nor the market access to find it themselves. Where the transaction extends beyond the equipment itself, Prescott Assets manages complete business sales and turnkey facility exits. We handle the contracts, real estate, and M&E as one coordinated transaction. The disciplines are integrated — a single point of accountability rather than three separate parties pulling toward different closing dates. From a single surplus extruder to an entire operating plant, the approach is the same: document it, price it honestly, and move it to its highest-value outcome.
Prescott Assets was built around the moment most equipment companies prefer to avoid — the moment a plant stops running and someone has to figure out what everything is actually worth. That moment demands a specialist, not a generalist with a listing portal. Decommissioning work requires the ability to walk an idle floor and read it accurately: which assets retain strong secondary-market demand, which need to be bundled to move, which will draw a crowd at auction, and which should be purchased outright before anyone else prices them wrong. Getting that sequence correct is the entire discipline, and it is what Prescott Assets has organized itself to deliver. The work is not emotionally complicated, but it is technically demanding. A shuttered facility does not wait patiently while advisors debate strategy. Carrying costs accumulate, lease obligations run, and stakeholders — owners, lenders, creditors, or estate representatives — need a credible plan in hand quickly. Prescott Assets brings that plan to the first meeting, backed by documented valuations rather than verbal estimates, and executes it with the kind of transactional follow-through that turns an assessed number into a deposited check. We operate across North America and maintain a global buyer network built over years of closing transactions that required reaching beyond the domestic market to find the right next owner for specialized equipment. No fabricated recovery guarantees, no inflated appraisals designed to win the listing, no soft commitments that evaporate when the floor walk is done.
