Offers are invited immediately by commercial real estate consultancy Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) on the spread of printing and finishing tech, which includes presses from Heidelberg, Manroland, Edelmann, Form-All and Sanxin.
Machines can be viewed at Calderprint’s dual former premises in Burnley and Nelson upon request. According to LSH director for MBA north Michael Booth, the subsequent sales process is “supplementary” to the original auction in July.
Booth said: “This is the normal course of business and is part of a sales strategy to make sure we realise the full market price of all of the machines.
“We were able to sell a number of machines at auction, but we are not obligated to sell anything that does not reach the reservation.”
Calderprint is currently in administration, with Andrew Poxon and Julien Irving of Leonard Curtis appointed on 24 May. The commercial printer is understood to have ceased trading earlier in May when a notice of intention to appoint Poxon and Irving was filed at the High Court.
Presses on the lot list in this second sale include an MOFPH five-colour sheetfed offset press, a five-colour Speedmaster SM 74, a single-colour platen and three GTO 52 single-colour presses from Heidelberg, a four-colour Sanxin YK524 sheetfed press, two Edelmann Form-All Web Print 48 Five and a Multi Print RS17 two-colour reel-fed form printing presses and a six-colour Manroland R606 3B Series 650.
Also available are a Ricoh Pro 1357EX digital production printer and a wide array of finishing kit from Horizon, MBO, Heidelberg, Shinohara, Polar and Schneider.
Interest has so far been generated from parties in both the UK and internationally, according to Booth, and further interested parties can express interest via the LSH website.
