— 01 / The Firm

A focused practice built on technical fluency and judgment.

For decades, sound capital decisions in heavy industry have rested on a single question: what is this equipment actually worth — to its current owner, to a buyer, to a lender? Machinery & Equipment Consultants LLC was founded to answer that question with rigor, independence, and an engineer's eye for the asset itself.

We work with manufacturers, financial institutions, attorneys, and private investors across North America, providing valuations and advisory work that hold up under scrutiny — in boardrooms, in court, and at the negotiating table.

Every engagement is led personally. Every report is signed. Every recommendation is one we'd stand behind with our own capital.

The number on the page is the easy part. Getting it right means understanding the machine, the market, and the moment it sits in. Paul Filipe · Founder & CEO

What we do.

Five disciplines, one standard: independent, defensible, plainly written.

i.

Equipment Valuation & Appraisal

USPAP-aligned appraisals for financing, M&A, financial reporting, insurance, litigation, and tax purposes. Fair market, orderly liquidation, and forced liquidation premises — clearly distinguished and supported.

ii.

Acquisition & Disposition Advisory

Pre-purchase technical due diligence, condition assessments, and pricing strategy for buyers and sellers of single machines or entire production lines.

iii.

Lender & Collateral Support

Field examinations, monitoring valuations, and collateral reviews for asset-based lenders, factors, and equipment finance groups operating in industrial verticals.

iv.

Plant Closure & Asset Recovery

Strategic planning for facility shutdowns, asset rationalization, and orderly equipment disposition — including auction strategy and private-treaty placement.

v.

Expert Testimony & Litigation

Expert reports, depositions, and testimony in equipment-related disputes: insurance claims, partnership dissolutions, bankruptcy proceedings, and commercial litigation.
