Refinery Equipment Divestiture

Project Overview

When a leading aerospace manufacturer needed to decommission one of its production facilities, MMI was selected to manage the entire surplus asset disposition process. The project required extensive planning, global buyer outreach, equipment inspections, logistics coordination, and timely execution without disrupting the client's operational schedule.

Leveraging our worldwide network of qualified industrial buyers, we marketed the equipment internationally, attracting competitive offers that maximized asset value while ensuring every milestone was completed ahead of schedule.
