Around 750 Lots of Process, Packaging and Industrial Equipment Available in Final Phase Sale
Sanderson Weatherall is preparing for a major online auction of process plant and industrial equipment formerly used by Xerox in the production of coloured toner and the filling of printer cartridges.
Taking place on 22 September 2026, the final phase auction is being held on the instructions of Ramparts Property Services, following its recent acquisition of the buildings, together with another vendor. Approximately 750 lots are expected to be offered on a piecemeal basis, subject to the conditions of sale, prior sale and availability.
The scale and diversity of the equipment makes this a particularly interesting sale for manufacturers, processors, engineering businesses and equipment dealers. The assets cover extrusion, blending, grinding, filling and packaging, alongside robotic automation, compressed air systems, materials handling and warehouse equipment.
