Kilbride Disposition
Kilbride Disposition is an appraisal-led advisory firm — we establish what injection molding, CNC, and tool & die assets are genuinely worth, in writing, then build every transaction around that figure rather than around hope.
Request a valuation or disposition reviewKilbride Disposition is organized around a single operating conviction: the written appraisal is not a courtesy extended at the beginning of an engagement — it is the foundation every subsequent decision is built on. Before any disposition path is chosen, we document value. Fair market, orderly liquidation, and forced sale figures are derived from current transactional data, physical inspection, and deep category knowledge, then delivered in a format that holds up with lenders, auditors, ownership groups, and counterparties across the table. That rigor applies uniformly across the full range of industrial equipment we handle. On the plastics side, that means injection molding presses and auxiliary equipment, blow mold lines and accumulator head systems, thermoform systems, extrusion lines and extruders, rotational mold machinery, rubber and silicone processing equipment, and mold inventories and complete product line tooling. On the metalworking side, it covers CNC machining centers, Swiss turning cells, precision grinding equipment, wire and ram EDM assets, die cast machinery, metal stamping operations, tool and die toolroom equipment, and structural fabrication machinery. Auxiliary and automation cells round out the scope. Once the appraisal is on paper, Kilbride Disposition selects the transaction structure the numbers support — not the one that is simplest to execute. When a seller requires speed and certainty, we make outright purchases with committed capital and no contingencies. When the asset profile or ownership timeline is better served by a managed marketing process, we run consignment sales, placing equipment directly with qualified buyers throughout North America and into our extended global buyer network. Auctions and structured liquidations are deployed when the situation calls for a defined endpoint — a plant closure, a bankruptcy proceeding, an estate, or a stakeholder group that needs a settled account by a fixed date. We also work the acquisition side: manufacturers who need a specific capability, not merely an available machine, retain Kilbride Disposition to source, vet, and negotiate on their behalf. And when a transaction encompasses more than the equipment alone, we manage complete business sales and turnkey facility transitions. We handle the contracts, real estate, and M&E as one coordinated exit — a single advisory relationship from opening valuation through final close, with no handoffs and no misaligned incentives between the appraisal desk and the disposition floor.
Kilbride Disposition was established on a premise that sounds straightforward but is rarely honored in practice: no one should be advising an owner on how to sell equipment that they have not first valued honestly and in writing. The industry is full of companies that quote a number to win the listing and adjust it later. That is not how this firm operates. The appraisal discipline here is not a marketing position — it is the mechanism through which every engagement runs. We are not category specialists in the narrow sense. Kilbride Disposition handles injection molding assets, CNC machining equipment, tool and die inventories, and every other discipline found on a working production floor, because genuine advisory requires genuine coverage. An owner who needs to understand the combined value of a stamping operation, a die cast cell, a Swiss turning department, and a thermoform line should not need four separate advisors. They need one firm that has done the underlying appraisal work across all of it. That breadth is not incidental — it is what makes the advice worth taking. Manufacturers, lenders, legal counsel, and ownership groups bring engagements to Kilbride Disposition because they have learned, often the hard way, that a defensible written number is worth more than a fast conversation. We protect that standard on every file we open.
