Project Paintshop Neckarsulm
Machinery resale, industrial dismantling, asset recovery and equipment removal of an automotive paint shop
SSMI is involved in the resale and dismantling of the A17 Nord paint shop at a major automotive manufacturing facility in Neckarsulm, Germany.
The project focuses on recovering value from surplus machinery and production equipment while preparing the installation for dismantling and removal. The paint shop consists of multiple interconnected systems, including paint application equipment, conveyor systems, drying installations, paint supply systems and associated process technology.
Through a coordinated approach to machinery resale and industrial dismantling, SSMI aims to maximise asset recovery while supporting an efficient and responsible decommissioning process.
Our approach
The A17 Nord paint shop comprises a range of specialised installations used throughout the automotive painting process. These include filling and coating systems, conveyor technology, drying equipment, paint supply installations, control systems and associated production equipment. SSMI's scope focuses on identifying resale opportunities for the available machinery and coordinating its professional dismantling and removal.
Given the complexity of an automotive paint shop, careful planning and coordination are essential. Technical interfaces, surrounding infrastructure and equipment that must remain operational need to be considered throughout the dismantling process. By combining machinery resale expertise with a structured approach to industrial dismantling, SSMI aims to ensure that recoverable assets are handled efficiently and that activities are coordinated with the site's operational and safety requirements.
Maximising value through machinery reuse
The A17 Nord project highlights the opportunities for asset recovery within complex automotive production facilities.
Rather than treating surplus production equipment solely as material for recycling, SSMI prioritises identifying machinery and installations suitable for resale and reuse.
This approach helps extend the operational lifespan of industrial equipment, recover economic value and reduce unnecessary material waste.
By integrating machinery resale with industrial dismantling, SSMI supports a more circular and resource-efficient approach to industrial transformation.
Planning to dismantle/replace an industrial production line?
Decommissioning a complex production facility requires more than removing machinery. It demands careful planning, technical expertise and a clear strategy for managing valuable industrial assets.
SSMI supports manufacturers throughout this process, combining machinery resale with professional dismantling and equipment removal. By identifying opportunities for reuse and coordinating the different stages of a project, we help reduce complexity, recover value and minimise disruption to surrounding operations.
Whether you are upgrading an existing facility, replacing production equipment or closing an entire site, SSMI provides a practical, coordinated approach that prioritises safety, efficiency and the responsible reuse of industrial assets.
