Surplex, one of Europe’s leading industrial auction platforms, has relaunched its UK activities under the Surplex UK brand. The company says that the move marks an important step in strengthening its presence in the UK and further integrating the market into its pan-European auction network.
Surplex has been active in the UK for several years and previously operated under the Surplex name. Following a period in which activities were aligned more closely with sister brands within the group, the UK operation will now be trading under the Surplex brand. This relaunch reflects the company’s ambition to offer UK B2B buyers and sellers direct access to Surplex’s international marketplace and digital auction expertise.
Operating from the UK with a dedicated local team, Surplex UK supports British manufacturers, dealers and insolvency professionals in the sale of used machinery and industrial assets. Auctions are marketed internationally via
surplex.com, connecting UK sellers with buyers in more than 170 countries around the world.
Leigh McCarron, the UK’s project and acquisition manager UK at Surplex, said: “Reintroducing the Surplex brand in the UK allows us to clearly position ourselves as part of a strong European auction platform, while remaining close to the local market. UK sellers benefit from international reach and professional auction management, while buyers gain access to high-quality British machinery through a trusted digital platform.”
As part of the wider
TBAuctions group, Surplex works alongside established auction brands such as
Troostwijk Auctions, sharing technology, expertise and best practices across Europe. This structure enables Surplex to combine local market knowledge with the scale, visibility, and operational strength of an international auction group. With the relaunch of Surplex UK, the company aims to further expand its portfolio of UK auctions in sectors such as metalworking, woodworking, plastics, logistics and complete factory liquidations.
