OEM Partnership Program

MMI's OEM Trade-In Program helps OEM sales reps and machinery dealers turn a customer's used equipment into cash so the new-machine deal closes on time. Whether the trade-in is a CNC machine tool or fabrication equipment, we make a guaranteed cash offer within 24–48 hours of receiving the details, then handle inspection, rigging, transport and warehousing. Your customer gets floor space and capital back. You get the deal closed.

Why OEM Reps & Dealers Choose MMI

Since 1997, MMI has helped manufacturers, machinery dealers and OEM sales teams turn used equipment into cash. When there's a trade-in on the table, you need a partner who can price it fast, pay for it, and get it off the floor on schedule. That's what we do every day.

Guaranteed Cash Offer
We buy the machine ourselves instead of just listing it and waiting for a buyer. You get a firm number your customer can plan around.
 
Decades of Machinery Experience
15,000+ machines sold and $400M+ in assets sold. We know what CNC machine tools and fabrication equipment are worth, so our offers are fair and fast.
 
A Buyer Network in 27+ Countries

Our Own 40,000 Sq Ft Warehouse

Every Exit Option Under One Roof
We offer direct purchase, brokered sales, auctions and full plant liquidations. If your customer prefers top dollar over speed, we can do that too.
