UK Factory’s Contents from Home Appliance Manufacturer Up for Auction

NCM Auctions, a specialist auctioneer and asset management company, is set to auction the contents of a factory in Merseyside on behalf of Glen Dimplex, a specialist home appliance manufacturer.

The global company, headquartered in Dublin, operates manufacturing and development centres worldwide. It produces domestic appliances for renowned brands like Morphy Richards, Britannia, Belling, and LEC. In November last year, the company announced the consolidation of its UK manufacturing operations, resulting in the closure of their Prescot site.

This predominantly no reserve online auction includes press brakes and punch presses from the respected Japanese brand Amada, as well as high-capacity power presses from Taylor & Challen and Wilkens & Mitchell. The auction catalogue also features lathes, milling machines, precision drills, MIG welding robots, spray booths, powder coating booths, and a fully automated 12-station assembly line from Amber Industries.

In addition to the specialist manufacturing equipment, the auction also offers catering supplies, workbenches, extraction equipment, racking, office furniture, seating, modular buildings, and more.

Glen Dimplex is collaborating with NCM to clear the site in an environmentally sustainable way. This approach extends the lifecycle of the specialist equipment, allowing it to be reused and redeployed by various businesses and manufacturers. It helps divert surplus items from landfill, benefits the local community, and provides companies with access to equipment at a fraction of the cost of acquiring new machinery.

Amy Rutherford, partnership lead at NCM Auctions, stated: “We’re pleased to be working with Glen Dimplex on this project, and their approach to sustainability and opting for a circular approach to their asset disposal has far-reaching benefits for the manufacturing industry and the wider community in and around Merseyside.

“A complete factory auction like this is rare and offers our bidders access to a full range of equipment – covering everything from metal forming and punching to precision welding, assembly, painting and powder coating. We’ve seen a lot of interest from both UK and overseas bidders. In the first instance, I’d ask interested parties to contact us and secure a viewing as soon as possible.”

Whether you are looking to increase production, expand manufacturing capabilities, or diversify into new service areas, this auction catalogue offers something of interest.

A viewing day is set for 17 July by appointment only. Contact NCM on 01302 898260 or email [email protected] to arrange an appointment.

The online auction for Glen Dimplex ends on 18 July from 11am. Interested bidders can browse the catalogue and register to bid now.

Private treaty offers are also accepted before the auction concludes. For more information, email [email protected].
