About the company

Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers connects buyers and sellers of heavy machinery, trucks, and other assets through auctions and asset-management services. Its core products are live and online auctions plus disposition and asset-management solutions that help sellers convert surplus equipment into cash and help buyers find and bid on used equipment. The auction process works by listing assets for sale in catalogs and conducting bidding—historically unreserved auctions and now increasingly online platforms—so buyers can bid from anywhere and sellers can reach a global audience. The company differentiates itself with a long history of transparency and integrity, a global footprint across more than 20 countries, and a shift toward online auctions that expands access and efficiency for both sides of the market. The goal is to provide a trusted, scalable marketplace that maximizes recovery for asset owners while delivering broad, convenient access to buyers worldwide.

Scottish yard aids auctioneers expansion.

Scottish yard aids auctioneers expansion. Ritchie Bros. has strengthened its presence in the UK with the opening of its first operational yard in Scotland, providing buyers and sellers of used machinery with a dedicated facility in the country's central belt. Located at Harthill, just off Junction 5 of the M8 motorway between Glasgow and Edinburgh, the new site is designed to improve access for customers across Scotland while reducing transport distances and simplifying equipment logistics. The facility operates 24 hours a day for deliveries, allowing customers and hauliers to drop off and collect machinery outside traditional opening hours. The company says the flexible access will help minimise downtime and make it easier to move equipment around busy work schedules. The Scottish yard complements Ritchie Bros.' existing UK operations at Maltby, near Rotherham, together with its Mullingar facility in Ireland, which opened in 2025. The three locations provide broader coverage across the UK and Ireland while supporting equipment sales through the company's online auctions and other sales channels. Chris Thomson, Scotland Territory Manager at Ritchie Bros., said the investment reflects the company's commitment to the Scottish market. "Having an operational yard in Harthill means we can offer the same market-leading services already available elsewhere in the UK while making it easier and quicker for customers in Scotland to sell machinery and equipment," he said. "The new location allows Scottish sellers to access our global network of buyers while benefiting from a much more convenient local facility." As well as reducing transport costs and journey times, the site brings inspection, marketing and sales support closer to customers who previously had to travel further afield to access Ritchie Bros.' services. The opening forms part of the company's wider strategy to expand its regional footprint and meet growing demand for used equipment and asset management services across the UK and Ireland. The new yard is located at 59 West Benhar Road, Harthill, Shotts ML7 5TG.

RB Global Q1 adjusted EBITDA up 11% on $4.3B GTV, BigIron deal to close in Q2

RB Global reported 13% gross transaction value growth to $4.3 billion and 11% adjusted EBITDA growth in its first quarter of 2026. The company received antitrust approval for its BigIron acquisition, which is now expected to close in the second quarter. The commercial construction and transportation segment led growth, with GTV up 27% year-over-year, or approximately 16% excluding acquisitions. Chief Executive Officer Jim Kessler cited early signs of improving customer confidence, supported by stabilising used equipment values and infrastructure activity. In automotive, GTV increased 7%, driven by a 6% rise in average selling prices and 1% unit volume growth. Chief Financial Officer Eric Guerin said the company's updated 2026 guidance excludes any impact from the pending BigIron transaction.
