Operating across North America with an active global buyer network
Sourced with intention. Moved with conviction.

Start hereDraper Equipment Partners connects manufacturers to the injection molding, die casting, and EDM assets they need — and moves the equipment they no longer do, through a powertrain-sourcing discipline built around knowing exactly what each machine is worth before a single conversation begins.
Draper Equipment Partners takes its name and its operating model from the same source: purposeful movement. A powertrain does not transfer energy at random — it converts it, directs it, and delivers it where the work actually happens. That is precisely how we approach equipment transactions. The sourcing discipline we apply to finding the right injection molding press for a buyer is the same discipline we apply to pricing a die casting line headed for auction, or structuring the exit of a business whose owners have decided it is time to move on. We do not treat those as different businesses wearing the same brand. They are expressions of one capability: understanding what industrial equipment is worth, where it belongs, and how to move it there without waste. That means we will tell a seller when the number they have in mind is unsupportable, and we will tell a buyer when the machine they are pursuing is underspecified for the application. Neither conversation is comfortable, and both are the reason clients return.
Draper Equipment Partners was organized around a sourcing philosophy: every transaction — buy or sell, single asset or entire facility — should be driven by the same disciplined logic that governs a well-engineered powertrain. Nothing moves until the fit is right, the value is established, and the counterparty is qualified. That framework shapes every service we provide. Valuations come first. Whether a manufacturer needs a documented appraisal for a lender, an estate requires defensible liquidation figures, or a plant controller wants an independent benchmark before putting assets on the market, Draper produces written fair market, orderly liquidation, and forced sale values that hold up under scrutiny. We work across every production discipline: injection molding presses and hot runner systems, die casting machines and trim presses, wire and sinker EDM cells, stamping presses and progressive die lines, Swiss turning centers, CNC machining centers and horizontal boring mills, blow mold equipment and accumulator head lines, thermoforming equipment, rotational mold carousels, extrusion lines and extruders, rubber and silicone compounding and curing machinery, fabrication equipment, grinding cells, automation and auxiliary systems, and complete mold and tooling libraries. When the appraisal is done, disposition strategy follows naturally from the number rather than from wishful pricing. Draper buys equipment outright — committing capital directly so sellers get a clean, defined outcome without waiting on a buyer to surface. For assets where ceiling matters more than speed, we run consignment programs with active placement into our North American manufacturer network and a global buyer reach that extends well beyond domestic demand. Auctions and coordinated liquidations are part of the platform, structured when a facility closure, restructuring, or estate situation calls for a defined endpoint and full market exposure. On the other side of the desk, our sourcing capability serves buyers directly: manufacturers who need a specific press tonnage, a particular EDM configuration, or a complete Swiss cell describe the requirement, and Draper hunts, vets, and negotiates on their behalf. We also handle complete business sales and turnkey facility exits. We bring the M&E, the operating contracts, and the real estate into a single coordinated transaction. Each component is valued independently; the exit is structured as one.
