From Metal to Plastic: Upcoming Used Machinery Auctions for the Automotive Industry

The automotive industry is undergoing significant changes. Production facilities are being restructured, and accordingly, there is a large supply and demand for used machinery. At Surplex, one of the leading online auction houses for used machinery in Europe, several auctions for the automotive industry are concluding in the coming weeks with a wide range of machines from metal and plastic processing.
