Printing machinery includes industrial presses for sheet-fed and web offset, flexographic, gravure and digital printing, as well as finishing equipment. These machines are used to produce packaging, labels, commercial print and promotional materials. Asset-Trade offers used printing machinery from manufacturers such as MÜLLER MARTINI, HEIDELBERG and BOBST GROUP.
When buying used printing machinery, the format, configuration, operating hours, maintenance history and actual mechanical condition are decisive. Asset-Trade supports buyers with a free machine appraisal, a multi-stage inspection with functional tests, and an on-site inspection and demonstration. This helps clarify before purchase whether the machine matches the buyer's production requirements.
Used printing machinery typically costs significantly less than new equipment; at Asset-Trade, typical savings versus new machines are 40–70%. A concrete quote depends on the model, year of manufacture, configuration and condition, and is prepared individually. Many machines are available at short notice, which helps bridge production bottlenecks faster.
Asset-Trade inspects used printing machinery in a multi-stage process with functional tests before it is offered for sale. Interested buyers can examine the machine themselves during an on-site inspection and demonstration. A dedicated project manager accompanies the entire process from enquiry to handover.
Yes, Asset-Trade arranges worldwide shipping and export of used printing machinery, including the necessary documentation and logistics. The purchase is handled through a 7-step procurement process in which a dedicated project manager coordinates all steps. This allows buyers to source machines from abroad with confidence.
Alternatives to used printing machinery include buying a new machine, leasing, or outsourcing production to an external service provider; used machines are usually the most economical and fastest option. Typical mistakes include skipping a functional test, ignoring wear parts, and underestimating the need for operator training. Asset-Trade provides support and training as well as a project manager who addresses these risks early.
