Sustainability is no longer a trend, it’s an operational strategy. In the protein processing industry, where margins are tight and efficiency is paramount, companies are increasingly seeking ways to reduce their environmental impact without compromising on productivity or quality.
Recent research from the Statistics Netherlands (CBS) shows that 18.5% of companies in the food sector expect to continue investing in climate-neutral operations in the coming years. Yet for many, the path to greener production is obstructed by long lead times for new machinery, high investment costs, and ongoing economic uncertainty.

A smart alternative for forward-thinking producers
Industrial Auctions provides practical solutions by simplifying the buying and selling of used food and beverage machinery through its specialized online auction platform. With a strong focus on protein processing, including meat, poultry and fish products, weekly auctions feature everything from deboning systems and slicers to vacuum fillers, tumblers, cooking kettles, cooling and freezing systems, complete packaging lines and more.
By choosing used machines, companies not only reduce their capital expenditure and lead times, but also contribute directly to a circular economy, extending the lifespan of machinery and minimising waste. This approach aligns perfectly with modern sustainability targets while ensuring rapid, cost-effective scaling and adaptability of production.

Full-service throughout the auction process
Each auction is supported by detailed technical descriptions, photos, optional viewing days, and full guidance from the Industrial Auctions team. Their dedicated team is committed to offering a personal and service-oriented approach throughout the entire process. On request, assistance can be provided with the dismantling and transportation of machinery, ensuring a smooth and worry-free experience for both buyers and sellers.
Whether you are adapting to changing production demands or setting up a new processing facility, Industrial Auctions offers direct access to the machinery you need. By sourcing used equipment through their platform, you can respond quickly, cost-effectively, and sustainably to your changing production needs.
