Jarlstead Assets

Accurate valuation is the only honest place to begin.

Jarlstead Assets delivers certified appraisals and full-scope disposition advisory for industrial equipment — so manufacturers, lenders, and ownership groups move from documented value to optimal outcome, not the other way around.

Jarlstead Assets was founded on a straightforward observation: equipment owners consistently receive worse outcomes when valuation is treated as an afterthought rather than a starting point. Banks, trustees, and manufacturers who have used informal estimates as a proxy for value have all experienced what that gap costs — sometimes at the worst possible moment. Jarlstead was structured to close that gap permanently. We are appraisers first, and that sequencing is not incidental. It changes what we recommend, how we structure transactions, and which engagements we accept. We are not volume-driven; we are outcome-driven. Our advisory work spans the full breadth of industrial equipment — from precision Swiss turning and EDM assets through blow mold and injection lines, stamping and die casting cells, fabrication and grinding equipment, and every auxiliary and automation system that supports production — because real facilities are never one-dimensional, and neither are the decisions surrounding them. Clients engage us when the stakes are high enough that a defensible number and a disciplined process are not optional.

Jarlstead Assets is organized around a single conviction: a defensible, written appraisal must precede every disposition decision. Before any sale strategy is proposed, we document fair market value and orderly liquidation value for assets ranging from a single Swiss turning center or a bank of wire and sinker EDM equipment to a complete blow mold line or an entire multipress injection facility. Those numbers — prepared to USPAP-aligned standards and available for lender, insurance, or litigation use — become the foundation on which every subsequent decision rests. Once valuation is complete, we run the disposition channel the data supports. Outright purchase is available when a seller's timeline requires immediate certainty; we buy qualifying equipment directly and put capital on the table without delay. Consignment is structured for situations where the market should be worked over time, with Jarlstead managing marketing, buyer qualification, and closing on the seller's behalf. Auction and liquidation management serves ownership groups, trustees, and secured creditors who need a transparent, competitive process with a defined end date. Private negotiated sales are arranged when confidentiality or counterparty relationships make a quiet transaction the correct path. We also work from the acquisition side — sourcing, inspecting, and vetting CNC machining centers, grinding equipment, fabrication assets, stamping lines, die casting cells, thermoforming systems, extrusion and extruder configurations, rotational mold and rotomold equipment, rubber and silicone processing lines, tool and die assets, automation and auxiliary systems, and production molds and tooling on behalf of buyers who need the right machine, not simply an available one. When the engagement is larger than a single asset or product line, Jarlstead manages complete business sales and turnkey facility sales. We handle complete business and turnkey facility sales. The contracts, real estate, and M&E transfer as one transaction, with appraisal-grade valuations covering the machinery and equipment component throughout.
