Tiger Group, Kent, Wash., will be conducting an online auction on Nov. 12 of textile embellishment and warehouse equipment, blank inventories of apparel and hardgoods, and intellectual property of a wholesale supplier of custom-designed promotional products for the giftware and tourism industries that is now winding down operations.
The offering of manufacturing assets from the company’s 72,000-square-foot Kent facility includes screen printers from Challenger and M&R; embroidery machines from Hirsch, Tajima and Barudan; Amscomatic folders; dryers and pad printers.
Blank inventory available for bid includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, fleece wear, jackets, hats and caps, socks, mugs, water bottles, totes, and a variety of other apparel and gift items. Bidders also will vie for intellectual property from the 65-year-old company, including contracts, artwork and graphics, customer lists, and website URLs.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase well maintained screen printing, embroidery and pad printing machinery and peripherals,” says John Coelho, senior director of Tiger Group’s Commercial & Industrial division. “Screen printers and others in the textile and apparel embellishment industry — along with any company seeking over-the-road rolling stock, material handling equipment, plant support and office FF&E — will be interested in this unique opportunity to purchase exceptionally clean equipment that is perfect for supporting existing operations or startups. The many available M&R screen printing machines have had comprehensive scheduled and preventative maintenance, with all replacement parts purchased directly from the manufacturer.”
