Description

(3) Automated Jessup Plating Lines, Plus Support Equipment

Nickel/Chrome • POP • Copper
Primary Line | Nickel/Chrome Line Refurbished in 2024 – Never Installed

Originally built by Jessup Engineering for Markland Industries, Inc., these three automated rack plating lines were acquired for a new operation that never entered production. The nickel/chrome line was fully decommissioned, re-engineered and refurbished, then placed in indoor storage awaiting installation. Increased electrical demand from nearby data centers prevented the site from securing the power required to operate, and the project is now being liquidated: a rare opportunity to acquire complete, installation-ready plating systems. Nearly $4 million in acquisition, de-installation, re-engineering and refurbishment of the facility. All equipment has been professionally cleaned and is ready for transportation.
