When companies face surplus factories, liquidation often seems like the only option. International Process Plants (IPP) offers a smarter approach — connecting surplus factories to motivated global buyers who will redeploy facilities instead of scrapping them. With nearly 50 years of experience, IPP manages liquidation projects end-to-end, from valuation and marketing to dismantling, logistics, and recommissioning.
Why choose IPP for surplus factory liquidation
Many liquidation firms focus on selling equipment piecemeal. IPP specializes in complete factories and process plants. With 20 active sites worldwide and more than 15,000 assets in stock, we have the scale and reach to market surplus factories as valuable, operating units.
By positioning facilities with buyers across chemicals, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, polymers, and specialty industries, IPP helps sellers realize stronger offers than they would through traditional liquidation channels. For buyers, it means gaining a proven factory at a fraction of new construction costs.

Unlocking value through global factory liquidation
Surplus doesn’t mean obsolete. Many factories are shut down because of corporate restructuring, regional demand shifts, or strategic investment changes — not because they’re at the end of their life cycle. IPP specializes in unlocking that hidden value.
By marketing surplus factories globally, we match idle facilities with operators who need them most. Fertilizer producers may seek facilities in emerging agricultural regions, while pharmaceutical firms look for redundant capacity to safeguard supply chains. IPP’s international buyer base ensures these connections are made quickly, maximizing returns for sellers and creating opportunities for buyers.
