Active across North America with a global buyer network on every major asset class

Mansfield Industrial Assets

The desk quotes. The capital moves. The deal closes.

Mansfield Industrial Assets runs a live trading desk for metal stamping presses, extrusion lines, and thermoforming equipment — and every other category on the production floor — with committed positions, a global buyer network, and the transaction speed that serious sellers and serious buyers both demand.

The name Mansfield Industrial Assets reflects a straightforward operating philosophy: industrial equipment is a market, and a market functions best when someone is genuinely in it — not listing from the sidelines, not waiting for both sides to find each other, but holding positions, quoting prices, and moving assets the way a functioning desk moves anything of value. That is how this business was designed. The trading desk model demands that we know what equipment is actually worth before we quote a number, which means the appraisal discipline and the commercial discipline are the same discipline here — not separate departments with separate incentives. A stamping operation, an extrusion line, a thermoform cell, a die cast system, a mold package — each one has a real market value, and that value is determined by someone who trades the category every day, not by whoever happened to answer the phone. Mansfield serves manufacturers, lenders, trustees, and ownership groups across North America, with buyer reach that extends into global markets on every significant asset class. The desk covers every category because the production floor does not sort itself into convenient specialties, and a trading operation that cannot quote the whole floor cannot serve the whole client.

Mansfield Industrial Assets operates the way a trading desk should — positions taken in real time, capital committed without contingencies, and a buyer network that is live before the first call ends. The desk spans every category of metalworking and plastics processing equipment: stamping presses and coil feed lines, extruders and downstream extrusion auxiliaries, thermoform equipment across all gauge ranges, injection molding presses, blow mold machinery, rotational mold carousels, die cast cells, fabrication equipment of every class, rubber and silicone processing lines, Swiss precision turning centers, CNC machining centers, cylindrical and surface grinding machines, wire and ram EDM, tool and die toolroom assets, and complete mold inventories and proprietary product line packages. Nothing on a production floor falls outside what the desk will quote. The transaction menu is equally complete. Mansfield buys equipment outright — a single machine or an entire department — when a seller needs a definitive close rather than a process that depends on a buyer materializing later. Consignment is available when the asset mix or the seller's timeline calls for a managed placement into the buyer market rather than an immediate cash transaction. Appraisals and documented valuations — fair market, orderly liquidation, and forced sale figures — are produced to withstand scrutiny from lenders, counsel, trustees, or any other party that needs a defensible written number before a decision moves forward. Auctions and structured liquidations round out the toolkit, deployed when a plant closure, estate settlement, or restructuring situation demands a fixed endpoint and maximum asset recovery on a defined schedule. For engagements that extend beyond the machinery itself, Mansfield handles complete business sales and turnkey facility exits. We manage those transactions so that all components — contracts, real estate, and M&E — transfer as a single coordinated event rather than three separate negotiations pulling toward different conclusions. On the acquisition side of the desk, manufacturers who need a specific capability and lack the time or market access to hunt for it can engage Mansfield to source, vet, and negotiate on their behalf. The desk is always open, the capital is always ready, and every deal gets the same standard of execution regardless of whether it is one press or an entire floor.
