Die Casting Factory & Machine Liquidations
![]() |
| After the Liquidation |
Over the last twenty-five years, David Kaufman and Steve Cochran have conducted liquidations of more than fifty high pressure die casting facilities, totaling almost 1,000 die casting machine sales. We specialize in all equipment used in High Pressure Aluminum, Zinc, Magnesium and Brass die casting factories. We typically do this work for one of three parties - the owner of the company (management, if a stock-held firm), the secured lender, or a Federal Bankruptcy Court. Our mission is always the same, to recover as much capital as possible while minimizing expenses.
If you need to talk with someone about the options available when considering closing a die cast facility, please call us to set up a confidential, no obligation meeting. We can help in many ways, some of which include: finding a new source of capital,selling your plant as an ongoing operation,transferring the existing business in your plant on a commission basis, and determining the best approach to maximize your return if closing the plant is the best option. When faced with a decision of this magnitude,it is important that the people advising you have in-depth knowledge and experience. Let us help you! Please contact us by phone, fax or by email using our Contact Us form.
