When most consumers purchase an item marketed as organic, they do so under the assumption that it is manufactured, from start to finish, in a way that is not only chemical free but also kind to the environment. And while the product may be grown on a small farm without use of pesticides, there are many other steps in the production process that can interfere with the organic movement’s overall aims. One of those steps is packaging and processing. Fortunately, machinery like that which Aaron Equipment company sells and reconditions ensures green manufacturers maintain their organic ideals, even when they package and process their products.

Chicago, IL – Aaron Industrial Marketplace (AIM) ends 2011 on a high note, with full anticipation of an even more successful 2012. The online auction platform that is devoted to the sale of used, new and reconditioned-to-new equipment wound down the clock on 15 auctions this past year, all of which exceeded the company’s goals and expectations.

Among the highlights of the year-long bidding frenzy were a tank and vessel lot in January that sold at an average of 15 percent above the expected auction value. Aaron Industrial Marketplace followed up that 2011 opener with a quartet of successes in February, including a toner (pulverized) manufacturing equipment auction that drew in 34 registered bidders from the U.S. and abroad. With the winners hailing from four different countries, this auction solidified AIM’s international process equipment auction presence. [More]
