MACHINERY AND PRODUCTION
EQUIPMENT EVALUATIONS

Professional assessment of machinery, equipment and complete production facilities

 

The valuation of machinery and equipment serves to determine the economic value of machines, complex technical systems, and operating facilities. A professional valuation is the basis for entrepreneurial, strategic, and economic decisions.

 

We evaluate machinery and equipment for, among other aspects:

 

• Buying and selling

• Inventories

• Financing and investment decisions

• Insurance purposes

• Business succession, company splits and company takeovers

 

The aim of the valuation is to objectively determine the current market value, taking into account technical, economic, and usage-related factors. The valuation can serve as an internal decision-making basis or as the foundation for a subsequent appraisal.

 

Our machine and equipment valuations are prepared according to internationally recognized valuation methodologies of the Institute for Experts (IfS Cologne).

 

Value valuation – under consideration of technical aspects

 

When determining the current value of machinery, equipment and operating facilities, we take into account, among other aspects:

 

• age and remaining technical service life

• technical condition

• usage history

• state of the art

• Maintenance, upgrades and wear and tear

 

Especially with regard to operational equipment, additional factors such as operating conditions, operational adjustments and the degree of individual design are taken into account in the evaluation.

The valuation of machinery and equipment provides a comprehensible, realistic and reliable valuation as a basis for economic decisions.
