Your equipment holds more value than most people in this industry will ever tell you.

Fairview Machine Works is an asset advisory firm for industrial manufacturers — bringing documented valuation discipline and deep market reach to every rubber and silicone, rotational molding, and grinding transaction, and to the full spectrum of plastics and metalworking equipment beyond them.

Fairview Machine Works enters every engagement as an advisor first — meaning the work begins not with a listing price or a quick offer, but with a clear-eyed understanding of what the asset is actually worth. That foundation is built through documented appraisals: fair market value, orderly liquidation value, and forced sale value, written to hold scrutiny in front of lenders, legal counsel, estates, or a room full of competing bidders. We cover every category of industrial production equipment — rubber and silicone compounding and curing lines, rotational mold machinery and carousel systems, precision grinding cells, injection molding presses, extrusion systems and extruders, thermoform equipment and forming lines, blow mold lines, Swiss turning centers, CNC machining centers and multi-axis cells, wire and ram EDM equipment, metal stamping presses and progressive die lines, die cast machines and trim presses, structural fabrication equipment, automation systems and auxiliary production equipment, and complete mold and tooling inventories. Once the valuation work is on paper, the right disposition path becomes a strategic question rather than a guess. For sellers who need speed and certainty, Fairview makes outright purchases — direct capital commitments with no contingencies dragging the close date into the future. When a longer runway allows for greater recovery, we structure and manage consignment placements, matching each asset to qualified buyers across our North American network and our active global reach. Auction and liquidation management is part of the Fairview toolkit as well — deployed when a defined endpoint serves the stakeholder better than an open-ended private sale, whether the trigger is a plant closure, an estate, a bankruptcy proceeding, or a strategic downsizing. On the acquisition side, we source specific equipment on behalf of manufacturers who need a particular capability and cannot afford to settle for whatever happens to be available. And when a transaction extends beyond individual assets to the enterprise itself, Fairview handles complete business sales and turnkey facility exits. We serve as a single point of coordination for those engagements — the contracts, real estate, and M&E move together as one transaction rather than three parallel processes pulling in different directions. The asset advisor role means one thing above all else: our counsel is shaped by what the numbers support, not by which outcome generates the fastest fee.

How we put your assets to work

The Fairview difference

The name Fairview Machine Works reflects a straightforward conviction: clear sight lines produce better outcomes. Every advisory engagement we take is built on the premise that manufacturers, lenders, and ownership groups deserve an accurate picture of what their equipment is worth before anyone proposes what to do with it. We are not generalists who treat machinery as line items on a spreadsheet — we are specialists who understand the difference between a rotational mold carousel with genuine remaining production life and one that photographs well, between a rubber and silicone processing line priced on replacement cost and one priced on what a qualified buyer will actually pay in today's market. That distinction is not a selling point. It is the foundation of every engagement. When clients return to Fairview — and they do — it is because the valuation we wrote the first time held up, and the disposition strategy that followed it delivered what we said it would. We protect that record by keeping the advisory desk and the transaction desk aligned: the same standard that governs the appraisal governs the sale, and there is no incentive to shade one against the other. North American reach, a global buyer network, and coverage across every category of industrial production equipment — but none of it matters if the number at the center is wrong.
