Who we work with

We work with School and College Design Technology Departments looking for an easy way to move on unsued equipment. So far, we have provided schools colleges with over £500k of extra funding through the sale of unused or obsolete equipment. We also do UK private estate workshop clearances and one-off purchases.

Where did the name come from?

Pronounced 'O stee uh', Ostia was the largest trading port in ancient Rome. So, what does that mean for machinery suppliers?

Well, think of us like the trading port for all second-hand machinery. The machinery middlemen.
