  Machinery Partner operates a B2B marketplace that enables manufacturers and dealers to sell heavy industrial equipment online, offering integrated procurement, financing, and service. The company is already selling in 35 U.S. states and plans to expand operations across the country and internationally. Its model targets construction, agriculture, and recycling companies and aims to deliver double-digit savings on critical equipment. Machinery Partner highlights equipment such as rock crushers, screeners, and shredders and positions itself to make high-cost, service-intensive machinery accessible to small and medium sized businesses. Headquartered in Boston, the company says the funding will help expand factory partnerships, increase equipment availability, and support broader market growth. The raise is presented as a step to disrupt the $580 billion global heavy equipment industry and support local infrastructure development. Machinery Partner offers an integrated model that combines procurement, financing and after-sale service to help small and medium-sized businesses acquire and operate heavy equipment. The company was founded in Ireland by CEO Ciaran Gillen and later relocated to Boston, MA. Its platform aims to democratize access to high-quality heavy machinery so customers can start or scale their businesses. In August 2021 Machinery Partner raised $4.5M in seed funding to support its growth. The company said it will use the funds to accelerate sales and to advance technology development.
