The company had invested heavily in the equipment and wanted to recoup as much of the investment as possible, while also ensuring that the equipment would be put to good use in the future. SIGMA Auction had a brewery auction in the works and decided to include these assets in the sale on a very short notice. They had the their two complete lines shipped to SIGMA Auction’s Showroom where they were cleaned and detailed and set up on their photo wall for professional photos.

The high hammer prices achieved for the beer canning line and the wine bottling line demonstrate the demand for this type of equipment and the effectiveness of SIGMA Auction’s marketing efforts.
