About Us:

We are Platinum Industrial Plant & Machinery Group (PIPM).

From our offices in Amsterdam, Paris, Düsseldorf, Milan, Zurich, Vienna, Stockholm and Madrid, we serve both large and small companies. Our work includes listing the machines and preparing them for sale and producing photo and video presentations in the sales phase.
