TBAuctions (TBA) is changing the way people think about buying and selling used business goods. Our vision is: To be the first and most trusted choice to buy and sell used business assets, maximizing their lifespan and value; accelerating the circular economy. We are passionate about making digital auctioning the best option to create value for B2B sellers and buyers. Through our brands, we seamlessly connect close, easy, and fast sourcing with global demand by multiplying the power of our people, technology, and data. In doing so, we will build a profitable business, reward and develop our people, and extend the lifecycle of assets to reduce waste and emissions.

In January 2022, TBA was acquired by Castik Capital to support the next phase of growth. Soon thereafter, Summa Equity joined Castik as co-investor in the pan-European digital auction platform. With the support of both forces, TBA will continue to strengthen our excellent market position within existing geographies and verticals, accelerating organic growth and increasing the pace of add-on acquisitions to build the leading European digital auction house. With support from Castik and Summa, our European ambitions are moving ahead through the acquisitions of the Swedish auction platforms Klaravik and PS Auction and the Norwegian auction platforms Auksjonen.no and Bjarøy AS, Danish auction platform Auktionshuset DAB, European auction platform Surplex as well as Benelux auction companies Epic and Vavato, and UK auction platform British Medical Auctions. Today, we operate eight brands and continue to add to the portfolio.

TBA’s business model is asset light with no inventory or price risk. It currently operates within mostly B2B end markets with net auction sales of 1.3B EUR in 2023. We are currently the market leader in online auctioning in the Benelux and Nordics with a strong position to grow across Continental Europe. TBA is powered by our proprietary software platform for intelligent auctioning called Atlas which enables the business to scale and integrate future acquisitions across Europe seamlessly. It has digitalized workflow processes to fulfill the demands and needs of both sellers and bidders. TBA has longstanding seller relationships across Europe coupled with a global base of >500k unique bidders from 160+ countries. Further key highlights include: (1) 13,000 auctions and 3+ million lots per year; (2) 125 million+ website visits; and (3) Retention rate of >70% and 70% of recurring sellers.
