Machinery & equipment
Industrial machinery and equipment sourcing
Production machinery, processing and packaging lines, agricultural equipment and spare parts sourced to technical specification and compliance requirements.
Machinery & Equipment
Availability, specifications and pricing are confirmed individually for each enquiry. Listing a product category here does not mean that it is held in stock.
Machinery purchases are long-term decisions. Output, utilities, footprint, automation level, spare parts availability, service support and compliance with machinery safety rules matter as much as the purchase price.
We work from your technical specification or user requirement, identify manufacturers whose equipment matches it, and help compare offers on a like-for-like basis — including factory acceptance testing, installation, training and spare parts where these are required.

Frequently asked questions
Can you source used machinery?
Used machinery can be considered where the buyer requests it. Condition, inspection and compliance responsibilities need careful agreement and are set out in the quotation.
Do you provide installation?
Installation and commissioning are typically provided by the manufacturer or its agents. We coordinate the scope and include it in the quotation where requested.
Can you find spare parts for existing machines?
Send the machine make, model, serial number and part numbers or drawings. We will look for OEM or compatible options and confirm what is available.
What is a factory acceptance test?
A FAT is a test at the manufacturer's site, before shipment, to show that the machine meets the agreed specification — ideally running your own product samples. It is usually linked to a payment milestone.
Do machines need manuals in my language?
In the EU, instructions must generally be supplied in the official language(s) of the member state where the machinery is placed on the market. Include this requirement in the purchase terms.
