This service works well for injection molding machines, extrusion lines, granulators, chillers, dryers, and support equipment when onsite inspection isn’t required. Desktop reports are USPAP compliant, backed by market data, and ideal for lenders, attorneys, and manufacturers who need accurate values quickly. Click Here for a Free Quote.
Onsite Appraisal
For plants with a large volume of equipment or complex production lines, onsite inspections provide added accuracy and detail. We visit your location, verify assets, document specifications, assess condition, and confirm operational status — especially valuable for equipment like injection molding presses, robotics, and full extrusion systems. Onsite plastics appraisals deliver unparalleled confidence in reporting, supporting financing, buyouts, litigation, and internal planning needs. Click Here for a Free Quote.

We use the cost approach and the market approach. Using the Cost Approach, the appraiser starts with the current Replacement Cost New (or in some circumstances the Reproduction Cost New) of the property being appraised and then deducts for the loss in value caused by physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and economic obsolescence. The market approach is a method of determining the value of an asset based on the selling price of similar assets. Both approaches should be used to find an accurate value. At times we will discuss our numbers with others who buy, sell, and work in the industry to confirm our results.
