More than 465 pieces of equipment at the shuttered Strauss Brands plant in Franklin are now up for auction.
The online auction is being held by New York-based Tiger Capital Group and Sandwich, Illinois-based Barliant Auctions.
Key pieces of equipment including a steak cutting line, pallet wrappers, tray sealers, meat grinders, metal detectors, rollstock packagers, and more are listed as part of the online auction, which runs through Sept. 26.

“Multi-generational Strauss Brands is widely respected, and these assets are in great condition and well-maintained,” said Scott Swanson, owner and president of 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.”
In June, Strauss Brands announced it would be closing its Franklin plant and relocating work to a facility in Mundelein, Illinois. Approximately 70 workers lost their jobs.
