|
Monday, 20 August 2007 |
Everything from blow and injection molders to filling and packaging lines will be on the block as the assets of the recently shuttered LeNature's facility in Phoenix are sold to the highest bidders on Thursday, Aug. 23.
Organizers Gordon Brothers Group (Boston), a corporate advisory, restructuring and investment firm, and Harry Davis & Company (Pittsburgh), a large beverage and food business auctioneer, expect hundreds of professionals from around the world to bid on the pieces at what they're billing as "the largest beverage plant auction ever held."
Items up for auction include:
• Four Krones filling/packaging lines
• Seven Krones Contiform blow molders
• A 4,000-ton refrigeration system with seven Frick ammonia compressors
• Four GE Osmonics reverse osmosis systems
• Nine Ingersoll Rand air compressors (up to 1,000 hp)
• Three 700-hp gas fired boilers and a large selection of general plant items
• 16 Feldmeir stainless steel tanks with up to 6,000-gallon capacity
• Five Feldmeir all stainless steel silos with up 25,000 of capacity
Gordon Brothers president Robert Maroney points out that all of the equipment "is practically brand new," given the relatively short time the plant was operating.
The auction commences at 9:30 a.m. at the facility, located at 615 N. 48th St., Phoenix, AZ.
