IVS’s experience and capabilities in providing asset purchase, asset placement and asset disposition services, has resulted in indentifying and implementing asset recovery solutions to major corporate managers, small business owners, attorneys, bankers, and in the government sector, services to Trustees in Receivership, United States Bankruptcy Courts, FDIC, Resolution Trust Corporation and numerous other governmental agencies, including the World Bank. I.V.S. has provided asset placement and investment recovery services to entire manufacturing plants, as well as surplus machinery and equipment inventories no longer required to continuing operations.

Under the daily direction of its president and with the expertise of personnel with extensive technical and marketing services, I.V.S. is capable of creating quick and maximum cash for its clients. We establish accurate market venues, identifying all potential buyers within all Standard Industrial Classifications of the business to whom we are providing our services. These efforts result in a timely, well planned and prepared execution of direct and orderly liquidation of assets. IVS has enhanced its world-wide reach, through professional affiliations with the largest B2B asset placement services. Our B2B marketing affiliation as well as a complete range of other web based marketing support technology is but one segment of a well directed sale presentation and delivery.

We use all available technology to deliver the message of our clients’ asset availability directly to those who make decisions and spend money. We are “Creators of the Best Immediate Market” and commit that our clients get what they need when they need it. End result; a broom clean building, in a time frame determined by our client/partners.

Our diversified experience, over the past 35 years is as varied as the clients we represent, covering virtually every Standard Industrial Classification, regionally, nationally, and internationally. Client categories we have provided services to include the follow industry sectors: Manufacturing Plants (all industries and products), Construction Companies, Metal Fabricating and Machinery, Petrochemicals, Electronic Components, Packaging, Pharmaceuticals, Textile Products, Rubber and Plastics Industries, Power Production, Transportation Industries.

Personally, Jim began his life long career calling in production manufacturing management at American Optical Corporation, moving on to machinery and equipment valuation, purchase and resale in partnership with Barnett Carter Company, Providence RI, eventually acquiring the Carter Company in 1975. Further expansion of diversity and national presence occurred upon founding The American Auctioneer and Appraisal Company, Inc., as President and CFO. Jim also held an ownership position, and Managing Director with the Industrial Division of Samuel T. Freeman and Company, located in Philadelphia PA. Subsequently he established Investment Valuation Services, Inc. and its subsidiary, IVS Liquidators.

IVS buys complete manufacturing plants and surplus machinery and equipment, including selective real estate. IVS contracts with businesses that are closing operating divisions and who utilize its services for private placements in the entirety or by way of item by item primary and secondary market Public Auction. We do not undercharge for the value we deliver to our clients, however, we also do not overcharge for the same delivered value.

We look forward to doing business with you and are prepared to submit a full comprehensive proposal for your consideration.

Sincerely,
James G. Dusty, President
