1. Background & Challenge

Joyson Safety Systems, a Tier-One global manufacturer of automotive safety components, selected BidItUp Auctions Worldwide to oversee the disposition of surplus assets at a major Texas facility during a critical operational transition.

This effort required the full liquidation of thousands of manufacturing, lab, plating, and general support assets—without disrupting active operations or breaching environmental, safety, or legal requirements. The engagement came at a time of macroeconomic volatility, global supply chain instability, and heightened internal performance benchmarks.

Joyson sought a partner capable of navigating high-stakes complexity: a strategic disposition executed with legal precision, logistical coordination, and financial accountability—all within a strict 210-day timeline.

2. Strategic Execution Plan

BidItUp deployed a senior-level project team combining in-house auctioneers, legal and environmental advisors, marketing professionals, and on-site logistics experts. Together, they designed and executed a four-phase plan to deliver a virtual webcast auction series at enterprise scale:

Phase I: Legal, Logistical & Operational Alignment

• Conducted a full-facility audit and asset stratification
• Developed a legally compliant framework for international asset sale
• Structured auction timing in collaboration with plant operations to avoid disruption
• Established removal protocol, EHS clearances, and contractual safeguards
