Industrial Assets Machinery

What Industrial Assets Machinery does

Industrial Assets Machinery (IA Machinery) is the brokerage arm of Industrial Assets Corporation and operates as the self-described nation's largest and most established used industrial machinery dealer, headquartered at 2301 Belgrave Ave, Huntington Park, California, with additional offices in Painesville, Ohio, and warehouse/distribution facilities across Los Angeles (CA), Caruthersville (MO), and Miami (FL). The business stocks over 3,000 used machines spanning CNC, metalworking, fabrication, milling, turning, sheet metal, presses, press brakes, lathes, mills, saws, grinders, shears, drills, lasers, water jets, and related industrial categories, sourced from industrial manufacturers (80+ OEM brands tracked in its content library, including Haas, Amada, Bridgeport, Fanuc, and Accurpress). Customers are predominantly manufacturing and industrial companies seeking to acquire surplus/used equipment at the single-machine, multi-machine, or full-plant level, as well as firms needing to liquidate or remediate plants.

IA Machinery's core technology is a category- and manufacturer-searchable web inventory of used equipment with an embedded eBay sales channel; it is not a software platform. The company's go-to-market is sales-led: direct phone outreach (323-587-1887), an eBay storefront for individual machine transactions, and a brochure/content SEO funnel that captures upstream buyers researching specific machine makes/models. Revenue is generated through three lines: (1) one-time equipment sales (single machines and complete plant purchases plus turnkey sales), (2) transaction fees on industrial auctions routed through Biditup Auctions for bulk liquidation, and (3) managed-services revenue from asset-based financing, term loans, leases, sale-leasebacks, and DIP/bridge financing via Industrial Assets Capital, with tickets ranging from $250,000 to $25,000,000 and terms of 6 months to 4 years. Geographic reach is concentrated in the United States (with delivery arranged cross-border to Canada via a 300+ partner transportation/rigging network), and the firm operates a horizontal segmentation model targeting any manufacturer needing industrial equipment.

The firm is privately held as a division of Industrial Assets Corporation under the "MDI Umbrella" alongside Biditup Auctions, Charcole Capital Financing, and Charcole Properties. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by equipment type, age, condition, and specification; no standard pricing tiers were identified.
