Global asset management and disposition leader Ritchie Bros. is helping businesses kickstart 2025 with its top-tier solutions for buying and selling heavy equipment, trucks, and machinery. Based in Netherlands, the company’s international business closed 2024 with significant achievements, selling over 83,000 items across EMEA and APAC regions and supporting more than 23,000 customers in meeting their business objectives.

This year, the first auction in the EMEA region will be held in Dubai this month (February 24 and 25), said the company.

Besides Dubai, Ritchie Bros. has several auctions scheduled to be held globally, including:  Maltby, UK – February 12-13 and March 26-27; Mantilly, France – February 13 (agricultural auction); Moerdijk, The Netherlands – February 26-27; Australia – March 3-4; Ocana, Spain – March 12-13; Caorso, Italy – March 13-14; Meppen, Germany – March 19-20; and France – March 25-27.

With its industry-leading platforms and a reputation built on trust, transparency and exceptional service, Ritchie Bros. provides flexible channels and services that help sellers to maximise returns and buyers to confidently acquire the equipment they need.

As the demand for machinery remains strong, Ritchie Bros. provides a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to maximise returns for sellers while offering buyers easy access to a wide variety of equipment, including items for construction, mining, public works, transportation, agriculture, logging, material handling, and other heavy machinery and vehicles.

Ritchie Bros.’ unreserved auctions offer sellers direct exposure to an international buyer base, ensuring transparency and quick returns, with proceeds typically received within 21 days. For those who prefer more control, the Marketplace-E platform allows sellers to set their prices while benefiting from Ritchie Bros.’ negotiation and transaction services, ensuring secure and swift deals, it stated.

“Our selling solutions are designed to deliver the best value for all our customers, whether they are sellers or buyers, while making the transaction process secure, seamless and worry-free,” said Duncan Ainscough, Head of International Sales at Ritchie Bros.

“Through our ‘Start 2025 Strong’ campaign, we are intensifying our marketing efforts to ensure that every piece of equipment is strategically positioned to attract the right buyers and help them to find the high-quality machinery that meets their specific needs,” he noted.

For buyers, Ritchie Bros. offers access to a vast inventory of equipment across numerous categories, available through both live unreserved auctions and the 24/7 marketplace-E platform, stated Ainscough.

“Buyers can take advantage of flexible purchasing options, including negotiating on prices or using the ‘Buy Now’ feature for immediate purchases. Supported by a secure, user-friendly bidding process and exceptional customer service, Ritchie Bros. makes acquiring the right equipment simple and efficient,” he added.
