Boyko

What Boyko does

Boyko Inc. is a family-owned used food processing equipment dealer headquartered at 212 Ballpark St, Stanton, North Dakota, founded in August 1987 by brothers Ron and Tom Boyko initially as a USDA food manufacturing plant producing bakery and meat products. The company operates a transactional used-equipment platform covering more than 20 equipment categories, including bakery equipment, bulk material handling, canning and bottling, chocolate processing, conveyors, dryers, extruders, freezing and cooling systems, frying equipment, kettles and tanks, mixers and blenders, motors and pumps, ovens, packaging equipment, pizza equipment, processing equipment, slicers and dicers, and complete production lines. Beyond equipment resale, Boyko provides a layered set of services: equipment listings and consignment, nationwide auctions and company liquidations through its partnership with Schneider Industries, asset management programs, sealed bid sales, and process plant system consulting.

The business model spans four revenue streams: direct equipment resale (one-time transactions), consignment commissions on seller-listed equipment, auction and liquidation service fees (through Schneider Industries), and professional services for asset management and process consulting. Buyer-side financing is facilitated, not underwritten, via third-party partners APPROVE (US, up to $1 million) and Questor Financial (Canada). Pricing is quote-based and quote-driven rather than tiered, reflecting the as-is, condition-dependent nature of used industrial assets. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, relying on the company's website, organic search, newsletter subscription, and direct phone inquiries, supported by a customer database and marketing expertise accumulated since 1996.

Boyko serves food processing companies, small and mid-size food manufacturers, and companies liquidating surplus or idle assets, with geographic reach across the United States and partial Canadian buyer support via Questor Financial. In 2006 the company sold its food manufacturing division to focus exclusively on used equipment, and since 2002 it has operated nationwide auctions and liquidations through its Schneider Industries partnership. The company is a private corporation with no disclosed subsidiaries, no outside funding rounds, and two named co-founders.
