Understanding Plant & Machinery Valuation

Plant and machinery valuation is the estimation of the fair market value of a company’s machinery and assets intended to distribute and manufacture its products. It should always be performed by certified machinery and plant valuers. These assets are:

• Production and manufacturing equipment.
• Material handling and logistics equipment.
• Transport and vehicle equipment that have been used.
• Specialized, laboratory, and medical-grade machinery.
• Heavy construction machinery.
• Transport vehicles and equipment that are used in industrial operations.

• Avoid risks that are associated with under- and over-insurance.
• Support collateral assessment and loan security.
• Present accurate values of assets in financial statements.
• Make correct decisions related to asset disposal, replacement, or optimization.
• Compliance with all the regulatory and tax requirements.
