What Machinery Values does

Machinery Values Inc. is a privately held, family-owned retailer and auctioneer of industrial machine tools and metalworking equipment, founded in 1971 and headquartered in a 150,000-square-foot facility in Harrison, New Jersey. The company maintains a continuously rotating inventory of more than 1,000 used machines spanning 150+ machine types (CNC machining centers, lathes, mills, grinders, presses, saws, EDM, plastics equipment) across 500+ manufacturers including Haas, Mazak, DMG-Mori, Okuma, Hyundai-Wia, and Kitamura. Its core business is buying, reconditioning, and reselling used machine tools through a specialist-organized direct sales force, with each department (fabricating, CNC, automatics, toolroom, boring mills, plastics, EDM, grinders, presses, new machinery) staffed by category-specific salespeople reachable via dedicated phone lines and emails.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and multi-channel: direct enterprise sales for higher-ticket equipment, a wholly-owned auction subsidiary (MVI Auctions) handling facility liquidations, multi-location consignment sales, and relocation auctions, plus a secondary eBay storefront (imachine) for smaller-ticket machinery. Additional revenue streams include an exclusive USA distribution agreement for Pressmaster hydraulic presses (held for 20+ years), a financing referral partnership with FinancialPC, and a sell/trade-in service. Pricing is quote-based per machine, with individual unit prices ranging roughly from $4,500 to $99,500.

Machinery Values is operated by the Valitt and Lazarus families, with Geneva Valitt serving as CEO and Art Lazarus as COO; no external private equity or venture capital ownership is indicated. The company is a member of the Machinery Dealers National Association (MDNA). Revenue is not publicly disclosed, headcount is reported in the 1–10 range, and there is no proprietary technology platform beyond a website-based inventory catalog and the MVI Auctions operation.
