About Machine Octopus
Aggregating Quality Used Machinery from Trusted Brokers
Founded in 2025, Machine Octopus aggregates listings from established machinery brokers across Germany and the UK, creating a centralized marketplace where buyers can access quality used industrial equipment from multiple trusted sources in one place.
Our Story
Machine Octopus was founded in 2025 by a team with extensive experience in the used machinery industry in Germany. Having worked closely with machinery brokers and dealers for years, we recognized that buyers were spending countless hours visiting multiple broker websites to find the right equipment.
We observed that high-quality used machinery was scattered across dozens of different brokers and dealers, each with their own websites and inventory. Buyers had no easy way to search comprehensively across all available options, often missing perfect matches simply because they were listed elsewhere.
This insight led us to create Machine Octopus - an aggregation platform that partners with trusted, established machinery brokers to showcase their listings in one centralized location. We work exclusively with professional brokers who handle the complete sales process, from dismantling and transportation to installation and commissioning.

The Reality of Machine Replacement
Space, Not Performance, Drives Replacement
Most industrial machines are replaced not because they stop working, but because companies need space for newer technology or production line reorganization. These "retired" machines often have decades of productive life remaining.
Still Functional
Machines work perfectly but are replaced for strategic reasons
Years of Life
Well-maintained machines can operate reliably for many more years
Great Value
Exceptional quality at a fraction of new machine prices
