Branford and HGP are currently accepting pre-auction offers on all items. 

Scott Lonkart, Vice President and Partner at Branford stated, "To say this is a unique buying opportunity is an understatement. In my 30 years in the business, I have never seen such well-maintained, 'like-new' equipment that can be utilized across such a wide variety of industries. From mask making to plastics to electronic assembly, there is something here for everyone."

The first Webcast sale will be conducted January 19 at 12:00 p.m. (EST), including equipment from Honeywell's Rhode Island facility followed by a second Webcast sale for the Arizona facility, taking place February 17 at 10:00 a.m. (PST).

David Barkoff, Senior Vice President with Heritage Global Partners stated, "The concerning spike in COVID cases, the like-new condition of the assets, as well as the wide appeal for this type of equipment should be a great opportunity for the global buying community. This is a rare chance, especially with long lead times and supply chain issues, to procure such great manufacturing equipment immediately."
