Surplex

Surplex, a notable player in the industrial auction sector for over 25 years, stands as one of Europe’s premier auction houses for used machinery and factory equipment. With its headquarters in Germany and offices spread across countries like Spain, Italy, and the CEE region, the company effectively serves a diverse client base through its 18-language platform Surplex.com, attracting over 125,000 registered customers.

In August 2024, Surplex joined forces with TBAuctions, a prominent digital auction group known for its expansive multi-brand reach with brands such as Troostwijk Auctions and others. TBAuctions is a major player, marking nearly 200 million annual site visits, entailing over 1.6 million asset sales, sourced from 750k bidders globally in 175 countries, translating to more than €1.6 billion in hammersales. This strategic acquisition aligns Surplex with a robust conglomerate, potentially elevating its market position and operational efficiencies across Europe and beyond.
