Contents of Hotpoint UKs Former Bristol Factory up for Auction with NCM

Production lines and machinery from Hotpoint UK’s (part of Beko Europe) recently closed factory in Bristol are going up for auction with NCM Auctions. The sale offers a rare opportunity to acquire specialist equipment from one of Europe’s leading home appliance manufacturers.

The Station Road facility in Yate, Bristol, carries over a century of rich industrial heritage. Originally established during World War I as an aircraft manufacturing and repair plant for Parnell, the site has been a cornerstone of British manufacturing history.

Through the decades, it has evolved and adapted, ultimately becoming a key manufacturing hub for Hotpoint UK under Beko Group’s ownership until its closure at the end of 2024.

Specialist Equipment for Auction

The online auction includes a wide range of equipment and ancillaries used at the tumble dryer manufacturing site, including:

• Hydraulic presses
• Metalworking lathes and milling machines
• Precision measuring equipment
• Foil shrink wrapping lines
• Commercial catering equipment
• Plus many other high-value items essential to the white goods manufacturing industry

Amy Rutherford, partnership lead at NCM, commented: “This auction from Hotpoint UK reinforces our expertise in repurposing industrial equipment from large manufacturing sites and factories.

“Our proven approach and commitment to sustainability ensures that these surplus manufacturing assets are reintegrated into the circular economy and diverted from landfill.

“Given the Yate facility’s substantial scale, this catalogue offers an extensive range of manufacturing equipment and related assets that can be used across many different industries and manufacturing processes.

“I’d encourage any interested bidders to register for the auction and arrange a viewing with our team.”

The Yate factory auction is live now, and bidding ends from 11am on Wednesday 5th March.

Private treaty offers are also being considered. Interested parties or those wishing to arrange viewings can contact NCM at 01302 898260 or email us for more information.
