Thermoforming lines. Grinding cells. Die casting equipment. Traded, relocated, and accurately valued by specialists who understand every machine on the floor.

Fitzhugh Trading deals in used industrial equipment the way a serious trader operates: committed capital, real positions, and a buyer network spanning North America and well beyond — so sellers get a direct offer and buyers get the right machine.

Who we are

Fitzhugh Trading takes its name from the domain and its operating standard from the trading desk — a model built around holding real positions, not managing passive listings. The conviction behind the company is straightforward: industrial equipment changes hands most cleanly when the dealer across the table has already done the work of knowing what the asset is worth, has capital ready to deploy, and has a buyer network that does not need to be assembled from scratch on the day you call. That means Fitzhugh Trading invests in inventory knowledge across every category the market produces — thermoform lines and grinding cells, die cast equipment and Swiss turning centers, EDM machinery and rubber and silicone processing lines, mold inventories and fabrication departments — because the trader who understands what a machine actually does, how it wears, and where it fits in a production operation is the trader who prices it correctly and closes the deal without leaving money on either side of the table. There are no fabricated credentials here, no inflated valuations designed to win a listing, and no channel conflicts between the appraisal desk and the sales floor. Fitzhugh Trading operates across North America with an active global buyer network, and the same discipline that governs a single-machine transaction governs a complete facility wind-down. The scale of the deal changes. The standard does not.

How we do business

Fitzhugh Trading is a working dealer — which means when you call, there is capital behind the conversation, not a contingency waiting on a buyer who has not committed yet. The operation covers the full spectrum of industrial manufacturing machinery: thermoform equipment, precision grinding cells, die cast lines, injection molding presses, blow mold systems, CNC machining centers, Swiss turning centers, sinker and wire EDM, metal stamping presses, fabrication equipment, extrusion lines and extruders, rotational mold machinery, rubber and silicone processing equipment, auxiliary and automation systems, tool and die assets, and complete mold inventories alongside proprietary product lines. Whatever is running — or has stopped running — on a production floor, Fitzhugh Trading has a transaction path for it. The most direct path is an outright purchase. Fitzhugh Trading buys equipment with its own capital — single machines, department buyouts, and full floor packages — on terms that do not require a third party to approve the number. When a seller's timeline or asset mix is better served by a different structure, consignment programs are available, placing machinery directly with qualified buyers through our North American dealer relationships and our active international network. Appraisals and documented valuations are part of every serious engagement: fair market, orderly liquidation, and forced sale figures prepared to hold up in front of a lender, an auditor, or a negotiating table, for any category of plastics processing or metalworking equipment. Auctions and managed liquidations are deployed when a plant closure, restructuring, or estate situation demands a defined endpoint — a hard date, a cleared floor, and a settled account. Fitzhugh Trading manages the full auction cycle, from pre-event valuation through buyer qualification and final settlement. On the acquisition side, we source specific equipment for manufacturers who need a particular machine at a particular specification, working the market until the right asset surfaces at a defensible price. When the transaction extends past the equipment itself, Fitzhugh Trading handles complete business and turnkey facility sales. The contracts, real estate, and machinery and equipment transfer as one coordinated transaction — a single counterparty for sellers who cannot afford separate advisors pulling toward different outcomes. Every service, every transaction type, every category: one trading operation, one point of contact, one name on the deal.
