Tiger Group will conduct an online auction of food production, processing and packaging equipment on Dec. 12. The auction is part of a court-ordered bankruptcy sale featuring assets from Lemnature AquaFarms’ multimillion-dollar production and R&D plants in Vero Beach, FL, and Fellsmere, FL. The regenerative agriculture company produced plant-based ingredients for the food, beverage and nutrition markets.
The timed, online auction will close on Dec. 12, at 10 a.m. EST. Bidding will open on Dec. 5 at SoldTiger.com.
“Lemnature’s operations spanned more than 900 acres across the two Florida sites,” Chad Farrell, managing director of Tiger Commercial & Industrial, said. “Its main plant was built quite recently — in 2021 — and a significant amount of the equipment available in this sale is in unused or like-new condition. The company spent over $14 million to build the plants.”
The assets in the sale will include large stainless-steel tanks, separators, centrifuges, water-filtering and processing units, and lab equipment.
“It’s part of what makes this sale such a strong opportunity for expanding companies in the food production, processing and packaging sectors,” Farrell said.
Additional highlights of the sale will include:
- Homogenizers, grinders, polishers, slicers, mills, separators, centrifuges, wash basis, skids, conveyers, drying plants, heat exchangers and other processing equipment (including pieces by Bertoli and Urschel)
- Three complete packaging lines
- Stainless-steel and poly tanks (holding, feed and transfer tanks from 50 to 3000 gallons in capacity)
- Harvesting equipment (shakers, blanchers, separators, conveyers, motorized paddle wheels, unused pond liners and pumps)
- Multiple labs with equipment such as centrifuges, scales, agitators, spectrophotometers, autoclaves, vacuum controllers, ovens, microscopes, stirrers, pipettes and glassware
- Fertilizer inventory, maintenance shops, material-handling equipment, rolling stock and office furniture and equipment.
- Intellectual property of the company
