Business Summary
Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Inc. is an auctioneer of industrial equipment, operating through more than 80 locations in North and Central America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and the Middle East. The Company sells, through public auctions, a broad range of used industrial equipment, including equipment used in the construction, transportation, mining, forestry, petroleum and agricultural industries. Ritchie Bros. conducts its auctions on an unreserved basis.
