200,000 SQ FT Printing Plant Cleared – Major Assets Sold, More Projects Ahead


When it comes to large-scale plant closures and asset recovery, Machinery Solutions Group, Inc. delivers. We’ve just completed a full-facility clear-out of a 200,000 square foot industrial printing plant located just outside Chicago — and the results speak for themselves.

The site featured seven heatset web presses, high-end inline finishing systems, auxiliary equipment, and support infrastructure. Major press lines and finishing systems were sold via private negotiation for top dollar, while hundreds of additional items were liquidated through an online auction.

The building is now cleared, the sellers are satisfied, and the buyers walked away with quality equipment ready to be repurposed.


🧰 What We Delivered:

Upfront Equipment Purchase – No waiting, no consignment risk
Private Sales on High-Value Assets – Securing strong returns
Full Site Decommissioning & Equipment Removal
Online Auction Execution for Remaining Assets
Local Project Management – Fast, clean, and efficient

If you’re facing a facility closure, downsizing, or need help maximizing the value of idle assets, Machinery Solutions Group is your partner.
