The Maynards Story
Invest in Used Equipment, Invest in Sustainability!
Maynards Europe is a German auctioneer specialized in selling used industrial eqipment like used machines, processing equipment, workshop supplies and general factory supplies. We're offering hand picked equipment from small surplus offered due to modernization of small manufacturing lines up to complete factory inventories due to plant closures with thousands of items available in a series of sales.
Our Philosophy: Selling the best, recycle what is possible, dispose of what must.
As a provider of industrial auctions, we see ourselves as an essential part of the modern economic cycle, which is not only designed for value creation and consumption, but also includes responsibility for the resource-saving, environmentally conscious handling of economic goods. As a "value-preserving" company, we make our contribution to more sustainability in the industrial sector by helping to give used machines a second chance. Because used machines are more than just cheap, "second hand" alternative. When our customers decide to rely on used machines, they do their part to reduce emissions, act more resource-consciously and protect our environment.
Strengthening Our European Presence Since 2010
Since the establishment of Maynards Europe in Germany in 2010, the company has grown into a trusted and influential partner for industrial asset valuation, sales, and project management across Europe. With a strong focus on transparency, efficiency, and customer-centric solutions, Maynards has established itself as a leading full-service auctioneer within the European industrial landscape.
With the creation of Maynards Europe Ltd. in 2019, the company expanded its operational structure and strengthened its ability to serve pan-European projects. This growth continues in 2025, with the opening of new offices in Czechia and Hungary, expanding our regional footprint and bringing us even closer to clients in Central and Eastern Europe. These strategic developments enhance our responsiveness, deepen our local expertise, and enable fully tailored solutions for projects of any size.
With more than a decade of hands-on experience, a global network, and a continuously expanding European presence, Maynards Europe remains committed to delivering maximum value, seamless project execution, and long-term partnerships across the industrial sector.
