The challenge: an affordable, high-quality production line needed quickly

A poultry processing company in Poland urgently needed a complete production line. Buying new was too costly, and delays weren’t an option. Meanwhile, a German factory was selling a high-quality line due to a change in business direction.

The solution: used line delivered in under 30 days

We moved quickly. Within two weeks, we secured the perfect machine. It took just over one month from first contact to complete delivery. The result: over €500,000 in savings — and zero production downtime.

FAQ

how can i be sure used machines offered by ERY are reliable?

We carefully inspect and test all machines before selling them, ensuring we only offer fully operational machines. The standard delivery process involves dispatching from the central warehouse in the Netherlands to the customer’s designated location.

How much savings can I get by buying a used food processing machine instead of a new one?

When purchasing a used machine, you could save up to 80% on costs. Although the market is changing, some used machines may still be expensive because new machines are rarely ordered or custom-built for specific requirements. Final prices may vary based on delivery location, delivery time, and any additional services agreed upon with ERY.
