VENTA Industrieversteigerungen
- Trade buyers only
VENTA Industrieversteigerungen GmbH runs online industrial auctions in Germany, with a catalogue split into an unusually granular set of sectors — metalworking, woodworking, plastics, printing, food, chemicals, laboratory, medical, catering, trade fair construction and more. Most sit empty at any given moment and one or two carry the current sale, which is normal for a house that clears one business at a time rather than aggregating consignments.
What you can buy
- Metalworking: the most consistently populated category.
- Woodworking, plastics and printing: sector-specific production equipment as those businesses close.
- Laboratory, medical and food: specialist plant from clinics, labs and food producers.
- Catering and trade-fair equipment: fit-out from hospitality and exhibition businesses.
- Vehicles: cars and trailers included in a clearance.
How the bidding works
Browse by category or search the current objects; the counts beside each category tell you immediately where the stock is. Register to bid. Because the house works clearance by clearance, the catalogue changes shape completely between sales — a week with a print shop looks nothing like a week with a metal fabricator.
What to check before you bid
Sector machinery is only worth what someone in that sector will pay, and the buyer pool for, say, a specialist packaging line is small. Check what the machine actually is before assuming a resale value. Standard German auction terms apply: sold as it stands, viewing on announced dates, removal from the seller's premises within a fixed window, and dismantling at your cost. The site is German-language.
