Research meets the used machinery market: AMRC machine auction on Surplex.com

The Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) at the University of Sheffield is a globally leading research centre specialising in machining processes, manufacturing technology, and materials science. A particular focus is on aerospace, but also on other challenging manufacturing sectors such as the automotive industry, construction, food industry, and medicine.

These outstanding research achievements of the AMRC are only possible through excellent equipment. High-quality machines and special equipment form the backbone of the centre, supplemented by reliable standard machines. Every part of the extensive machine park is maintained and cared for with the utmost care. This ensures that research work can always be carried out with the highest precision and efficiency.

To always stay up to date with technology, it is essential for the AMRC to regularly acquire new machines and update existing equipment. This results in older, but still high-quality machines being phased out. In the spirit of sustainability and promoting closed loops, the AMRC decides to sell these machines. This process not only contributes to the reuse of valuable resources but also helps the AMRC to manage its budget efficiently. By selling these well-maintained and cared-for machines, other companies and institutions have the opportunity to benefit from the quality and performance of these machines.
