Online Bankruptcy Auction Held for Food Production, Processing and Packaging Equipment
The court-ordered sale features assets from Lemnature AquaFarms’ multimillion-dollar production and R&D plants.
Food production, processing and packaging companies grew their operations by acquiring new and like-new equipment in an online auction by Tiger Group.
The court-ordered bankruptcy sale featured assets from Lemnature AquaFarms’ multimillion-dollar production and R&D plants in Vero Beach and Fellsmere, Fla. The regenerative agriculture company produced plant-based ingredients for the food, beverage and nutrition markets.
The timed, online auction closed on Tues., Dec. 12, 2023 at 10 a.m. (EST). Bidding opened on Tues., Dec. 5, 2023 at SoldTiger.com.
“Lemnature’s operations spanned more than 900 acres across the two Florida sites,” noted Chad Farrell, Managing Director, Tiger Commercial & Industrial. “Its main plant was built quite recently—in 2021—and a significant amount of the equipment available in this sale is in unused or like-new condition. The company spent over $14 million to build the plants.”
Those assets included large stainless-steel tanks, separators, centrifuges, water-filtering and processing units and lab equipment that would be inordinately expensive to acquire brand-new from a manufacturer, Farrell noted. “It’s part of what makes this sale such a strong opportunity for expanding companies in the food production, processing and packaging sectors,” he said.
Highlights of the sale included:
- Homogenizers, grinders, polishers, slicers, mills, separators, centrifuges, wash basis, skids, conveyers, drying plants, heat exchangers and other processing equipment (including pieces by Bertoli and Urschel)
