From the former furniture store, which was closed because the headquarters of a bank are now being built here, to the plough factory, whose equipment and products are changing hands due to bankruptcy. The auctions on the online platform aurena.at of Jürgen Blematl are flourishing. The auctions do not only bring in money.
A pallet with around 3,200 screws will be the last of the almost 5,900 items that will go under the hammer on Wednesday, August 14 at 4:20 p.m. at aurena.at at the Regent Pflugfabrik auction in Attnang-Puchheim. Products, machines and office equipment from the bankrupt agricultural machinery manufacturer were sold in seven partial auctions.
“On behalf of the curator,” says Jürgen Blematl, director of the Styrian online auction house, which recently sought buyers in Upper Austria for the remains of the bicycle manufacturer WSF in Regau and for escalators, safes and the like from the former furniture store XXXLutz in Linz.
On average, around 35 auction projects are processed per week on the platform, which has been on the market since 2018, Blematl reveals: “We solve a problem for our customers by converting large quantities of goods into liquid assets in a short time with the least effort.” The reward from the auctions is not only money, but also more space that is created.
Blematl, who studied at Montan University in Leoben and worked for Volkswagen in IT innovation, joined Aurena in 2013 and has big goals: “We want to develop the best auction experience in the digital world.” aurena.at is now one of them with more than 240,000 bidders.
