Why plant managers and business owners work with us
Selling a CNC machine remains slow, opaque, and layered with middlemen for many workshops and mid-sized manufacturers.
As a specialized partner for buying CNC machines — headquartered in Germany, operating internationally — our approach is different: one point of contact, a non-binding first estimate, and payment before pickup on a direct purchase. From Eschborn, with no financing contingency.
“The biggest loss in selling a machine is often not the price you accept, but the time you spend waiting, hosting site visits, and chasing uncertain buyers.”
— Marcel Brockmann, CEO and co-founder, MBR Machinery / webuyyourmachinetools.com
Plant managers and business owners know the feeling: every month a machine sits idle ties up floor space and capital — the overhead on that space keeps running whether or not it’s being used productively.

| Large format | Gantry mills, moving-column machines, boring mills | Zayer, Soraluce, Correa, Juaristi |
| Precision finishing | Grinding machines, wire and sinker EDM | Studer, Mitsubishi, Charmilles, ONA |

| Plastics and peripherals | Injection molding machines, compressors, robots | Engel, Arburg, KraussMaffei |
Year of manufacture, spindle hours, and documented condition all factor in: we assess every machine on receipt, current market demand, and resale potential. If it doesn’t fit what we buy, we tell you plainly.
The process in three steps
1. Contact and basic data. You send us brand, model, year, and clear photos. No prior appraisal needed — that’s what our valuation team is for.
2. Initial assessment. You receive it in writing — the offer follows a closer review.
3. Payment and scheduled pickup. Once you accept, we finalize the terms. On a direct purchase, payment is made by bank transfer before pickup; we organise disassembly, loading and transport.
No commission when we buy directly. No organizational burden on your side.
For complete facilities, urgent liquidations, or mixed lots, we buy the entire inventory through direct purchase in a single transaction. On request we also sell your machine through our buyer network. In every case: agreed price, secured payment, fully managed logistics.
International coverage and logistics
We arrange pickup wherever the machine is located — from a compact CNC lathe to heavy-duty gantry mills and complete production cells — and coordinate export logistics internationally, including heavy, indivisible loads.
“Every pickup is a small engineering project: access, floor loading, rigging points, and the route to the low-loader all have to check out in advance — only then can we commit to a firm date.”
— Lucas Agustí, COO and co-founder, MBR Machinery / webuyyourmachinetools.com
MBR has been active in 15+ countries across 3 continents since 2020 — with day-to-day experience in the German and European secondary market, not just listings. Sellers outside Germany: selling from the UK, Ireland and the Benelux explains what changes at the border and what does not.
Trust built on numbers, not empty promises
Three figures that define how we work:
- Response time: a non-binding first estimate on working days, with complete documentation.
- Payment security: on a direct purchase, bank transfer before pickup; no machine leaves your site without confirmed payment.
“In this industry, a lot of ‘buyers’ disappear after the first phone call. What matters is who responds with a defensible price and who’s just collecting data.”
— Marcel Brockmann, CEO and co-founder, MBR Machinery / webuyyourmachinetools.com
How we help, whatever your situation
Whether you need liquidity on a short timeline or want to place a high-value machine with the right buyer: the assessment is free and non-binding. That applies to a full machine fleet during a plant closure, a workshop closure, an insolvency, or a plant relocation.
