Equipment moves when the broker already knows the buyer.

Lambert Consignment connects North American manufacturers to a global network of qualified buyers and sellers — brokering tool and die, grinding, and extrusion assets alongside every discipline on the production floor, from first call to funded close.

Who we are

The Lambert Consignment name describes exactly what the business was built to do: broker industrial equipment between the people who have it and the people who need it, with consignment discipline at the center of every deal. That means we carry a responsibility to both sides of the transaction simultaneously — the seller deserves an honest valuation and a buyer who is genuinely qualified, and the buyer deserves accurate equipment representation and a price the market can defend. Machinery brokerage done correctly is not a volume game played on thin knowledge. It requires knowing what a tool and die operation is actually worth in the current market, understanding the difference between a grinding cell with remaining productive life and one that has been dressed up for photographs, and recognizing when an extrusion line's configuration makes it worth significantly more to one buyer than to the broader pool. That kind of judgment cannot be faked, and it cannot be replaced by a listing platform. Lambert Consignment keeps no fabricated metrics on this page — no founding year chosen for credibility, no employee count selected for reassurance. What we put in front of clients is market knowledge, transaction discipline, a live buyer network built through real deal-making, and a brokerage model that aligns our incentives with the outcome rather than the activity.

How we work for you

The distinction between a broker and a listing service is not semantic — it is operational. Lambert Consignment functions as the active party in every transaction: cultivating a standing network of qualified buyers well before a seller makes contact, working both ends of the market in parallel, and constructing deal terms that reflect what equipment genuinely trades for rather than what either side would prefer. Each engagement is anchored by written valuation. Lambert Consignment develops documented figures across three standard bases — fair market value, orderly disposition value, and distressed sale value — for any category of production machinery. That inventory covers tool and die toolroom assets, precision grinding equipment, extruders and extrusion lines, injection presses, blow molding machinery, thermoforming systems, rotational molding equipment, rubber and silicone processing machinery, CNC machining centers, Swiss turning equipment, die casting machinery, EDM equipment including wire and sinker configurations, metal stamping and fabrication presses, automation systems and auxiliary equipment, and full mold and tooling libraries. The written valuation is not procedural — it is the number every subsequent decision is built around. From that foundation, Lambert Consignment determines the disposition structure the asset picture supports. Consignment is our core mode: assets move through our North American and international buyer network, with Lambert Consignment managing each stage from listing through negotiation to settlement, while the seller retains title until the deal closes. When timeline and certainty take priority over maximum return, we make direct purchase offers — committed capital with no contingencies attached. Auction and coordinated liquidation formats are available as well, brought in when a facility closure, restructuring event, or estate resolution calls for a hard endpoint and a fully cleared floor. On the buy side, Lambert Consignment locates specific machinery for manufacturers working from a defined specification — conducting hands-on vetting and handling negotiation through people who trade this equipment as a daily practice. When the scope of an engagement reaches past individual assets, Lambert Consignment manages complete business sales and full facility exits — coordinating contracts, real estate, and machinery and equipment under unified representation rather than splitting accountability across multiple parties.
