Extrusion lines, blow mold equipment, rubber and silicone machinery — and the full production floor behind them.

Derwent Plant Services buys, sells, appraises, and moves industrial manufacturing equipment across North America, backed by a global buyer network and the transaction depth to close whatever the situation demands.

Derwent Plant Services operates from a single organizing principle: a dealer that genuinely spans a category must be equipped to handle every stage of what happens to the equipment that category contains, and the commercial structure has to reflect that. The engagement starts the same way regardless of scale — whether a client holds one machine or the contents of an entire production facility. It starts with knowing what the assets are worth, documented to a standard that survives scrutiny. Derwent produces written valuations covering fair market value, orderly disposition scenarios, and distressed-sale conditions — figures that can be presented to financing institutions, counsel, or prospective acquirers and will hold their ground. The equipment classes covered span the full range of industrial manufacturing: extrusion systems, extruders, blow molding equipment, rubber and silicone processing lines, injection presses, thermoforming systems, rotational molding equipment, die casting cells, CNC machining equipment, Swiss-type turning centers, precision grinding machinery, tool and die inventory, EDM equipment including wire and sinker configurations, metal stamping and fabrication assets, mold and tooling stock, and the full spectrum of automation and auxiliary production support systems. With a valuation in hand, the disposition method is selected according to what the numbers and the situation actually warrant. Derwent acquires equipment directly — committed purchase capital, straightforward terms, no dependence on an outside buyer appearing on schedule. Sellers seeking broader market exposure while retaining control over timing can engage through a consignment arrangement, which moves assets to qualified buyers through Derwent's established North American relationships and extended international reach. Where a defined settlement timeline is required — plant closures, insolvency proceedings, estate resolutions — auction and managed liquidation formats are available and structured accordingly. On the buy side, Derwent identifies and evaluates specific machinery for manufacturers who require a particular asset at a justifiable price rather than simply the first available option. Where a transaction encompasses more than equipment alone, Derwent handles full business acquisitions and complete facility transitions — coordinating machinery, contracts, and real property through a unified process with a single point of accountability from opening through close.

How we work

Who we are

Derwent Plant Services takes its name from the domain and its operating philosophy from a straightforward premise: the manufacturer deserves a counterparty who covers the whole floor, not just the categories a generalist happens to recognize. Our work spans the complete range of plastics processing and metalworking equipment — from extrusion lines and blow mold machinery to rubber and silicone systems, injection presses, thermoform equipment, rotomold machinery, die cast cells, stamping operations, CNC and Swiss turning assets, precision grinding systems, EDM machinery, fabrication departments, and complete mold and tooling inventories. That breadth is not marketing language. It is the operational reality behind every appraisal we write, every outright purchase we make, and every consignment or auction we manage. We do not name a founding year, inflate a headcount, or manufacture a track record — the work speaks plainly enough. What we will say is that the category dealer model only earns its name when the depth behind each discipline matches the width of the claim, and Derwent is built to deliver both. Sellers get a real number and a real path to close. Buyers get access to a live, continuously updated inventory with the reach to find what a production floor actually needs. Neither side gets a listing service dressed up as something more.
