FRANKLIN, Wis. — In a major opportunity for the meat industry, equipment from Strauss Brands’ Franklin plant is available in a Sept. 26 online auction by Tiger Group and Barliant Auctions.

Known for its premium-quality grass-fed beef, Strauss Brands is shuttering its Franklin plant as it expands and relocates its operations, making more than 465 lots of meat-processing, slaughterhouse and packaging equipment available to the industry, said Chad Farrell, Managing Director, Tiger Commercial & Industrial. “This excess equipment includes steak-cutting lines, meat grinders and mixers, metal-detectors, portioners and a wide array of high-utility packaging equipment, to name just a few,” he noted.

“Multi-generational Strauss Brands is widely respected, and these assets are in great condition and well-maintained,” added Scott Swanson, Owner and President of Barliant & Co./Barliant Auctions. “This Barliant-Tiger Group auction is a strong opportunity for the U.S. meat industry, especially given the high cost of brand-new, stainless steel equipment in today’s marketplace.”

The timed, online auction of excess assets from the Franklin plant closes on Thursday, September 26, at 10 a.m. (CST). Bidding opens on Friday, September 20, at 10 a.m. (CST) at BidSpotter.com.
