The Industrial Auctioneers Association (IAA) is the world's first and only association comprised solely of industrial machinery and equipment auctioneers. IAA auctioneers combine unparalleled industrial auction experience with the highest ethical and professional standards.

IAA auctioneers sell more than one billion dollars worth of machinery and equipment annually from virtually every industry and every part of the world. No machinery is too specialized. No industry is too obscure.

Our Mission

The purpose of IAA is to promote the use of auction sales as the best method for selling idle industrial equipment and to promote IAA members as the best qualified to conduct such sales.

We further pledge to establish guidelines for the ethical conduct of all our members, who represent the highest level of integrity and professionalism, in dealing with both sellers and buyers of industrial equipment. IAA will promote our members as the standard bearers of those ideals.

When you want to sell surplus machinery or industrial equipment, you have two goals: Sell it for top dollar, and sell it quickly. If you own surplus assets targeted for investment recovery, have an Industrial Auctioneers Association (IAA) auctioneer sell it. Every year IAA auctioneers sell tons of equipment worth more than one billion dollars from virtually every industry and every part of the world. No machinery is too specialized, no industry too obscure.

The Industrial Auctioneers Association is the world's first and only association comprised solely of industrial machinery and equipment auctioneers. Membership is limited to the world's most reputable, highly qualified industrial auctioneers who combine unparalleled industrial auction experience with the highest ethical and professional standards.

In addition to auction sales, IAA auctioneers offer liquidation and appraisal services.

We Know What's It Is Worth.

Our combined experience means we can hit the ground running. We don't have to waste valuable time researching an industry or market. Our auctioneers know what your machinery & equipment is worth, be it a boring mill, injection molder, ultrafiltration system or any of the thousands of other highly specialized machines IAA auctioneers sold last year. We know the value of virtually any piece of machinery because we deal in the market every day. Come auction day, we work to maximize the return to the seller. We also offer appraisal services.

We Know Who Will Buy It.

Finding an audience of potential user/buyers, especially of highly specialized industrial equipment, requires a breadth and depth of manufacturing knowledge. It requires an understanding of market trends and conditions, as well as machinery uses and prices.

IAA auctioneers use their extensive knowledge to target potential buyers. We maintain worldwide  proprietary customer lists with markets including North and South America, Europe, Australia, the Pacific Rim and developing nations.

We Work Ethically and Professionally.

IAA auctioneers maintain the highest integrity in dealing with both buyers and sellers. The IAA requires members to maintain the highest levels of professional conduct, as well as have extensive experience in marketing and moving equipment. We assure prospective sellers they'll work with the best our industry has to offer.
