MANNING, South Carolina (BRAIN) — Perfection Industrial is auctioning machinery, tools and other equipment from Kent International's BCA factory here.
Kent closed the factory this summer, with the company saying that assembling bikes in the U.S. would not allow it to compete with complete bikes imported from China and elsewhere.
The items being auctioned include everything from powered hand tools, work benches, lathes and other machinery, forklifts and several Holland Mechanics wheel-truing machines and Park Tool wheel-building stands and workstands. The auction also includes powder-coating equipment.
The auction ends on Sept. 9. Potential bidders can view the items at the factory on Sept. 8. More information: perfectionglobal.com.
