SABIC puts 141 lots of industrial assets up for public auction
SABIC has launched an ambitious public auction of industrial assets from its production facilities in La Aljorra in the Region of Murcia (Spain), specifically from the LX2 polycarbonate plant and the HPP plant following their permanent closure.
This initiative forms part of the company’s operational efficiency policy, aimed at managing excess stock and warehouse surpluses, ensuring that state-of-the-art equipment finds a second life in other industrial plants.
To ensure maximum transparency and competition in the market, SABIC has selected SURUS to carry out this transaction through its specialized portal, Escrapalia, enabling companies in sectors such as chemicals, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment to purchase critical equipment with immediate availability.
An inventory of high technical value and critical materials. The auction comprises a total of141 lots divided into two specialized events. The inventory stands out for the presence of equipment manufactured from highly corrosion-resistant materials, which are difficult to acquire on the primary market due to long lead times.
Among the most significant assets are:
- Precision Instrumentation: lots of flowmeters and Coriolis sensors from leading brands such as Emerson Micro Motion, Endress+Hauser and Yokogawa.
- Special Valves: lots of control and process valves manufactured from Gr7 Titanium, Hastelloy C-22, AL6XN and Duplex, including Fisher technology with DVC6200 digital positioners.
- Tantalum Components: assets highly valued for their chemical resistance, such as Rosemount 3051S pressure transmitters and rupture discs from Continental Disc.
- Process Equipment: vacuum and chemical pumps from manufacturers such as Busch, SIHI and Richter, as well as high-capacity industrial gearboxes (Hansen, JSW, SEW Eurodrive) and Siemens ATEX motors.
Auction details. The sale consists of two separate auctions that will remain open for bids until June 25, 2026. On the one hand, there are industrial plastic production equipment in 115 lots, which includes the largest assets, such as lots of valves, pumps, and instrumentation. On the other hand, there is a variety of spare parts in 26 lots, focusing on technical spare parts, weighing equipment, and electrical components.
Any interested company can register on Escrapalia, where they can review the asset details, request a site visit for an on-site inspection, and bid on the lots of interest to them.
Through this initiative, SABIC not only optimizes its logistics resources but also reinforces its commitment to sustainability by reintroducing high-quality equipment into the industrial value chain, thereby preventing waste generation and promoting energy and raw material savings associated with the manufacture of new equipment.
