Euro Auctions also has two sites in the UK, one in Germany and one in Spain.
Jonnie Keys, general manager of Euro Auctions, said the firm has built up strong relationships in the US, previously working with US-based auction companies as well as local machinery and equipment firms, and had long intended to enter the market fully.
"Plans have always hinged on finding a suitable facility," Keys said, who added the site, formerly home to vehicle auctioneer ADESA, was in an excellent location in "the hub of the American equipment industry".
