Auctioneer builds auction site in Japan

Tokyo, Japan


Ritchie Bros Auctioneers has broken ground for its new auction site near Tokyo and anticipates construction will be finalised by the end of 2009.

Rob Mackay, president of Ritchie Bros, says the company expects to conduct its first auction at the new site in early 2010. "With our new auction site, Japanese consignors can now sell their assets at our Japan auction site to buyers from around the world - both those attending in person and those bidding online."

Mike Scott, a Japanese-speaking Ritchie Bros sales manager, has been managing the Japan office for almost 10 years and will be the area manager for the new site.
