Project Overview
A Fortune 500 industrial manufacturer with operations spanning 45 facilities across North America, Europe, and Asia required comprehensive machinery and equipment appraisals to support financial reporting, insurance coverage optimization, and strategic capital planning initiatives.
The company's diverse asset portfolio included CNC machining centers, robotic assembly systems, material handling equipment, testing apparatus, and specialized production machinery valued at over $4.2 billion.
