MBR Machinery —
the firm behind the platforms

How MBR came to be

MBR Machinery was founded in February 2020 by Marcel Brockmann — an entrepreneur with more than ten years of experience in financing, receivables management and credit risk, who had previously generated some €50M+ in revenue in the machine-tool sector for previous employers. The logical next step: his own company, with own capital, on own account. Location: Eschborn near Frankfurt. Structure: fully decentralised and agile.

The foundation has been the same since day one: in-person on-site inspection, documented condition, honest communication and transactions with no surprises — neither for the buyer nor for the seller. That principle hasn't changed. With the addition of Lucas Agustí as COO — an industrial and electrical engineer who, as project manager, has been technically and logistically responsible for 500+ machine relocations — the team today brings 15 years of combined expertise in machine-tool trade and heavy transport.

What MBR Machinery actually does

MBR Machinery operates as an active dealer — not a listings portal. Concretely: we buy machines, inspect them, negotiate prices, take over logistics and deliver to end customers throughout Europe and beyond. At the same time, we broker machines between sellers and qualified buyers where direct purchase isn't the optimal model.

Our four core areas are:

1. Acquisition and valuation — We buy individual machines and complete machine pools. Our offers are market-appropriate, fast and binding. Sellers receive a valuation within 24 hours — no back-of-envelope estimates.
2. Inspection and documentation — Every purchase is preceded by an inspection: geometry, control system, spindle, alarm history. Every machine receives a condition report transparently available to the buyer. No surprises after closing.
3. Trade and brokerage — Our platforms usedcnc.de, ankaufcncmaschinen.de and machinetools.auction are specialised channels — for buyers, sellers and auction interest. Behind every channel stand the same people and the same infrastructure.
4. Logistics and export — MBR coordinates packaging, load securing, international forwarding and export documentation. We deliver into 25+ countries — including Turkey, Mexico, the USA and the MENA region.

Understanding the ecosystem

MBR Machinery operates several specialised domains — not to distribute traffic, but to give buyers and sellers exactly what they're looking for:

• usedcnc.de — the marketplace for buyers of used CNC machines in the German-speaking region and Europe.
• ankaufcncmaschinen.de — the direct acquisition channel for sellers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This is where sellers start — not buyers.
• compramostucnc.es — the acquisition channel for the Spanish-speaking market.
• machinetools.auction — transparent auctions for certified machines, when market price should be set through competition.
• mbrcnc.com / mbrcnc.de — the corporate presence: this is where you find out who stands behind it all.

MBR is the company. The domains are channels. The distinction matters: buyers on usedcnc.de aren't trading with an anonymous platform — they're trading with MBR Machinery, a tangible company with named contacts, accountability and a track record.

Why trust isn't a marketing word

In machine-tool trade, transactions are consequential decisions. A buyer acquiring a CNC lathe doesn't need a promise — they need evidence. That's why we document every inspection step, name defects openly and provide machine history and control-system parameters before a purchase decision is made.

That's not standard in the used market. Many dealers sell what looks good on paper. MBR sells what actually runs — and takes responsibility when something doesn't.

"If we can't sell a machine with a clear conscience, we don't sell it. That sentence sounds simple — in daily practice it sometimes means losing a deal. That's the price of reputation."

Who hires us

Our customers are mid-sized production companies, contract manufacturers and machine builders — in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Turkey, Poland, Mexico and other markets. Sellers are often companies in restructuring, insolvency administrators and production managers who need to wind down a machine pool or realise individual machines.

What these customers have in common: they can't afford to trust an anonymous dealer. They need someone who knows what a Mazak Variaxis 600 is actually worth, who knows how to ship it safely to Istanbul, and who is still reachable after the purchase.

Location and reach

MBR Machinery is based in Eschborn and operates fully decentralised — the team works efficiently and agilely without being tied to a single location. Regional partners for inspection and logistics are available across Europe. Our languages: German, English, Spanish, Turkish, Polish and Portuguese. As a partner of Maschinensucher.de — the leading machine marketplace in Germany — we reach qualified buyers directly where they search.

For serious enquiries — purchase, sale, business liquidation or project work — the most direct route is always a personal conversation. Our staff travel to customers to secure quality, build personal relationships and clarify individual requirements directly on site.
