Multistation is a company buying & selling used industrial machines, expert in the field of digital and additive manufacturing. Thanks to its 35+ years of experience — founded in 1987 — the company has an excellent technical background and is a key actor in the supply and value chain of digital & additive manufacturing, serving SMEs and major accounts such as Renault, PSA, Safran, Airbus, SNCF and Cartier across France, North Africa and worldwide.
Connecting buyers and sellers from all over the world is one thing, but transporting complex or multi-ton machines from one to the other is another. The Multistation Second Life division is your partner in technology assets management: investments, divestments, production relocation, liquidations, and auctions. We are realistic because we know the market prices and the guarantees — and we are present in all sectors of activity, worldwide.
Multistation developed its Second Life Department to help companies get better and faster results with their industrial initiatives. The content is specifically designed to help product managers, engineers, and others learn how to leverage the benefits of additive manufacturing and machine tools — helping them identify and validate the most promising applications, while also providing tools and insight to rethink and improve their supply chains and build a long-term competitive advantage.
We grade every machine we offer across three clearly defined service levels, so you always know exactly what you buy.
GOLD — Complete service
Inspection · benchmarking · disassembly · full logistical management · assistance to commissioning.
SILVER — Audited & benchmarked
Audited machines with benchmark capacity — verified condition and performance.
BRONZE — As is, where is
Machines offered as is, where is — sold in their current condition and location.
Our sales process for used additive manufacturing machines meets the following steps:
Do you have a limited budget to purchase a machine? Multistation offers an exclusive and confidential second-hand marketplace. This platform allows you to find the best machine according to your needs. If the machine you are looking for is not online, we can find it for you through our international network. Our team will call you to understand and identify your needs.
You want to sell a machine from your workshop that you no longer use, or do not have enough work for it:
We provide dismantling, transport and delivery, installation, and mounting services for machines and devices all over the world. In addition, Multistation organises training sessions, conducted by technical engineers who are well-acquainted with the machines.
A selection of additive-manufacturing systems we have valued, dismantled and relocated for our clients — across borders and continents.
