CAMARILLO, Calif., Aug. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Another tranche of molded-pulp packaging equipment from manufacturer Zume–known for creating anti-leak and compostable products for the global foodservice industry–goes to auction August 17 in a sale by Tiger Group and Liquidity Services.

“In addition to state-of-the-art, uninstalled and never-used equipment, we will be selling the company’s finished product inventory–worth more than $2 million at cost–as well its remaining equipment,” noted Jonathan Holiday, Director of Business Development, Tiger Commercial & Industrial. “This sale is an exceptional opportunity to purchase the remaining assets of Zume in North America. On August 15, meanwhile, will be the auction in China of additional high-quality assets that Zume purchased brand new.”

Bidding is underway at SoldTiger.com and AllSurplus.com for Zume’s North American inventory and assets, located in California, New Jersey and Texas. The event closes at 4 p.m. (CT) on Thursday, August 17.
