Machine-tool discipline. Every asset. Every transaction.

Vance Asset Management applies the exacting standards of the precision tool room to industrial equipment transactions — buying, selling, appraising, and liquidating EDM, grinding, and rotational molding assets alongside the full spectrum of plastics and metalworking machinery across North America and a live global buyer network.

The Vance approach

Precision machining does not tolerate soft numbers or sloppy setups. Vance Asset Management was built on the same intolerance. The firm takes its operating standard directly from the tool room — where the measurement comes before the cut, where every dimension gets verified, and where the person holding the instrument is accountable for what it reads. That discipline transfers cleanly to industrial equipment transactions. A valuation that cannot be defended is not a valuation; it is a guess dressed in formatting. A sale strategy that ignores what the market will actually pay is not advisory — it is optimism with a commission attached. Vance was organized to be neither of those things. The categories we cover reflect the full breadth of production manufacturing: EDM and grinding are where the machine-tool identity runs deepest, rotational molding is where the plastics side of the business is most active, and the complete range of metalworking and plastics processing equipment — injection, blow mold, extrusion, thermoform, rubber and silicone, die cast, stamping, fabrication, Swiss turning, CNC, tool and die, automation and auxiliary systems, molds and product lines — falls inside our scope without exception. Breadth without rigor is just a catalog. Vance brings the rigor. The clients who return engagement after engagement are the ones who found out, the first time, that the number we gave them held up — with the lender, with the buyer, and in the final settlement. That track record is the business.

Transaction & advisory services

A machine-tool specialist measures twice before cutting once — and that is exactly how Vance Asset Management enters every engagement. The work begins with valuation: a written, defensible number across any asset class, from a single EDM cell or grinding spindle to a complete rotational mold production line, documented to hold up in front of a lender, a court, or a qualified buyer. Nothing downstream of that number gets invented or inflated. Once valuation is complete, Vance structures the disposition path the numbers actually support. Outright purchase is on the table when a seller needs certainty and speed — we commit capital directly, with no contingency on a buyer who has not yet appeared. When the timeline allows more headroom, managed consignment captures the ceiling the market will bear. Auctions and liquidations serve situations where a floor must clear on a defined schedule, and Vance manages the full event cycle from catalog to settlement. Private negotiated sales move assets that benefit from a quieter, targeted approach to a vetted buyer list spanning North America and an active international network. For sellers exiting a business rather than a machine list, Vance handles complete business sales and turnkey facility exits. We handle the transaction as a single coordinated engagement. The real estate, contracts, and M&E transfer together — one process, one point of accountability, no gap between the asset schedule and the ownership transfer. Vance works the acquisition side with equal discipline. Manufacturers who need a specific capability sourced — a Swiss turning center, a die cast cell, a thermoform line, a CNC machining center — get a dedicated search against real market inventory, vetted before any capital moves. The same machine-tool standard that governs how we value applies to how we source: tolerance is not optional on either side of the transaction.
