JANESVILLE, Wis., April 16, 2018,/PRNewswire/ — All equipment and machinery situated at the former General Motors’ (GM) Janesville facility will be sold in a four-day online auction beginning on April 23rd. The sale is the next phase of the site’s decommissioning and redevelopment, which began in 2018 after GM finalized the facility’s sale.
Built-in 1919, the 4.8 million-square-foot plant was GM’s oldest plant in North America prior to its closing. However, in 2008, GM announced the facility would cease all production by 2010. As a result, more than 2,300 jobs were eliminated.
The auction is being conducted by Professional Industrial Appraisal LLC (PIA), an Indiana-based appraisal and asset recovery project firm. The firm has more than 35 years’ experience providing total asset evaluation for commercial and industrial businesses.
To enable online bidding, PIA is hosting the sale on AUCTO.COM, an industrial equipment marketplace and auction platform. Beginning on Monday, April 23rd, the auction will span four days, with each sale starting at 10 a.m. (CDT). Interested buyers are invited to register on www.aucto.com to participate in the auction.
Featured equipment includes:
Day one: 300+ ABB IRB 6400 Robots
Day two: electrical controls, PLCs and drives, and transformers
Day three: pumps, motors, spare parts, and tanks
Day four: plant support, overhead cranes, and shop equipment
