The need for an appraisal varies; a loan from a financial institution, tax purposes, insurances purposes, liquidation of assets, divorce, or the dissolving of a partnership.
Appraisal methods include:
Inplace value, Fair Market value, Orderly Liquidation value, or Auction value.
We can also do a desktop appraisal, which would enable you to decide whether a more lengthy appraisal is necessary.
We have been involved in appraising foundries from Fortune 500 companies such
as Acipco, Ford, GM, GE, Emerson, FMC, General Signal and also for the US Gov't.
Are you going to hire an art expert, a machine tool expert or even a large auctioneering company to value a melt system? Any foundry organization that does not use a foundry specialist for an appraisal is being foolish.
