Used Utility Equipment for Food & Beverage Manufacturers

Utilities are essential for bringing the food and beverage manufacturing process to life. For decades, Federal Equipment Company has helped food and beverage manufacturers source used utility equipment to reduce capital equipment costs and, at times, access used equipment when new equipment is unavailable or requires long lead times.

For over 65 years, Federal Equipment Company has been a reliable resource for processing and packaging equipment needs, with expertise to buy and sell used industrial equipment in the food and beverage manufacturing industry.

Additionally, our asset recovery program mitigates the headaches of asset management for companies seeking to sell equipment with accurate appraisals based on in-depth knowledge and experience and advice on options to optimize the recouped value.
