Tiger Group and Liquidity Services to Conduct Manufacturer Auction

Another tranche of molded-pulp packaging equipment from manufacturer Zume, a provider of anti-leak and compostable products for the global foodservice industry, will go to auction on Aug. 17 in a sale by Tiger Group and Liquidity Services.

“In addition to state-of-the-art, uninstalled and never-used equipment, we will be selling the company’s finished product inventory — worth more than $2 million at cost — as well its remaining equipment,” Jonathan Holiday, director of business development at Tiger Commercial & Industrial, said. “This sale is an exceptional opportunity to purchase the remaining assets of Zume in North America. On Aug. 15, meanwhile, will be the auction in China of additional high-quality assets that Zume purchased brand new.”

Bidding is underway at SoldTiger.com and AllSurplus.com for Zume’s North American inventory and assets, located in California, New Jersey and Texas. The event closes at 4 PM (CT) on Thursday, Aug. 17._x000D_

“Zume, which previously operated a 70,000-square-foot facility in Camarillo, California and boasted customers in more than 25 countries, had a large amount of crated, never-used equipment and inventory,” Nick Jimenez, vice president of global business development at Liquidity Services, said. “It was one of the few companies in North America to manufacture high-quality, leak-proof, compostable packaging out of pulp fiber, and we are pleased to offer these high-value assets on our AllSurplus marketplace.”

The assets include:

• Four complete thermoforming cells, consisting of: Shurcon thermoformers; ABB robots; 25-ton thermoform hot presses, 25-ton trim presses and 25-ton slurry approach skids
