About Velvet Solutions
Velvet Solutions buys, sells and sources used process plants and major industrial equipment across Europe and worldwide, from single separators to complete refineries. We are a broker, not a marketer, and the site is built to read that way.
What we do
We work across three lines of business. We sell listed inventory, "as is, where is," on enquiry rather than a checkout, in deals ranging from EUR 100,000 for a single item to EUR 10,000,000 and above for a complete plant. We source equipment for buyers who brief us on what they need, drawing on a network built over years of transactions. And we provide services around both sides of the transaction: valuation and appraisal, dismantling and logistics coordination, and marketing for decommissioned plants.
Who we work with
Plant owners decommissioning or upgrading, food, chemical and pharmaceutical processors looking to expand capacity without new-build lead times, project engineers specifying equipment for a build, and international traders moving plant between markets. Most of our buyers and sellers are repeat relationships, which is where a broker earns their keep.
Our network
Every listing on this site has been seen by someone on our side, either in person or through a trusted inspection partner. The same applies to sourcing: when a buyer briefs us, we are working contacts we know, not running a cold search. That is slower than a marketplace listing and it is also why our descriptions hold up on inspection.
How we work
Spare and factual. We would rather tell you a piece of equipment has a known issue than oversell it and deal with the fallout later. Prices are quoted exclusive of VAT, dismantling, shipping, rebuild and commissioning unless stated otherwise, because bundling those costs into a headline price makes comparison harder, not easier. See how it works for the buying process in full, and our FAQ for the detail buyers ask about most.
