What CA Global Partners does

CA Global Partners is a privately held industrial and commercial auction house founded in 1985 and headquartered in Westlake Village, California. The firm operates a global asset-disposition platform that conducts live webcast auctions, timed online auctions, and private treaty sales for clients liquidating manufacturing equipment, surplus inventory, distressed company assets, and industrial real estate. Its geographic footprint spans six offices across North America (Westlake Village, Scotts Valley), the United Kingdom (London), Australia (Brisbane), Germany (Dresden), and Bulgaria (Sofia), serving consignors and bidders in more than 100 countries and reporting cumulative asset-value recoveries above $2 billion across 1,530+ lifetime auctions.

The core technology is the Bidpath auction platform, which the company pioneered to deliver live global webcast bidding and timed online sales, extending the auctioneer's reach beyond the physical auction room to a worldwide bidder audience. Adjacent service lines include USPAP-compliant and ASA-accredited appraisals, asset recovery, liquidation consulting, and a co-developed carbon-impact measurement methodology for auctioned equipment. Distribution is a mix of direct enterprise engagement (live webcast events, private treaty mandates) and channel partnerships with co-auctioneers such as BidItUp, Onyx Asset Advisors, ThreeSixty Asset Advisors, Kitplus Auctions, and Astoca.

Revenue is generated on a transaction basis through buyer's premiums on completed auctions and seller commissions, typically as a percentage of gross sale proceeds. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by auction. The go-to-market is event-driven: each auction is a discrete consignment engagement rather than a recurring contract, with demand sourced through the company website, PR Newswire press releases, industry publications, and direct enterprise outreach. The customer base spans industrial asset sellers (manufacturing, energy, automotive, electronics) and a long-tail of industrial equipment buyers, with no named recurring enterprise accounts and no disclosed revenue, funding history, or headcount beyond an 11-50 employee range.
