One Broker, Every Stage of the Deal.
From the first phone call to a machine running on the plant floor, H.E. Phipps Co. Inc. handles the full lifecycle of an aluminum, steel, copper, brass, or lead processing equipment deal — sales, sourcing, valuation, logistics, and start-up — worldwide, since 1987.
Eight services. One direct point of contact.
International Sales of Your Idled or Surplus Equipment
We market your idled or surplus processing equipment to qualified buyers across our worldwide network, handling inquiries, negotiation, and the paperwork that gets a deal closed.
Sourcing Equipment for the Needs of Your Operation/Plant
Looking for a specific line, model, or manufacturer? We search our worldwide network of mills, plants, and dealers to find equipment that matches your operation's exact requirements.
Exclusive Sales Agreements and Consulting
For plants and dealers who want a dedicated representative, we take on exclusive sales agreements and provide hands-on consulting drawn from decades of aluminum industry experience.
Equipment Valuation
Before you buy, sell, or insure a line, we assess condition, specs, and market demand to give you a fair, technically grounded valuation — not a guess.
Dismantling / Export Packaging
We coordinate 2–3 quotes from trusted contractors for dismantling and export packaging, so your equipment comes down and gets crated to move safely across borders.
Freight Forwarding
We line up third-party freight quotes for ocean, rail, or truck transport — you review the options and contract directly with the forwarder, keeping full control of cost and terms.
Reinstallation, Start-up, and Training
Through our worldwide network of aluminum industry personnel, we arrange reinstallation, start-up support, and operator training so a line is running, not just delivered.
Sales Representation for OEMs
We serve as sales representatives for several high-quality original equipment manufacturers, connecting plants with new-build lines and components alongside our used equipment offerings.
