About Hilco Industrial
Hilco Industrial conducts more than 75 machinery and equipment auctions and orderly liquidations per year covering the broadest spectrum of industries, company types and levels of technology. Our corporate lineage spans more than 50 years, and in that time we have repositioned assets valued at more than $3 billion.
We know the true value of industrial assets
Our principals - in fact all members of our professional staff - have purposefully self-developed into "industry specialists." Whatever a company's business or the nature of its assets, our performance is underpinned by a deeply-rooted understanding of asset values and marketability.
Our work is backed by cash guarantees
In fact, we're so confident of our understanding of asset value and our ability to optimize return through adroit marketing, we are willing to put ourselves in a financial risk position by providing cash guarantees.
