DROMORE, NORTHERN IRELAND — Europe-based Euro Auctions has announced the acquisition of Michener Allen Auctioneering Limited, a Canadian industrial equipment and automotive auction company.
Michener Allen has over 50 employees operating from three permanent auction sites in Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg, stated an Oct. 3 release. Euro Auctions is a heavy equipment auctioneer under the brands Euro Auctions and Yoder & Frey.
Michener Allen has affiliates across Canada. The company runs approximately 50 auctions a year including seven three-day showpiece auctions that are conducted on an unreserved basis.
Euro Auctions founder Derek Keys stated, “I’m delighted to welcome Ethel, Ian, Wade and the Michener family into the Euro Auctions family.

“I have always kept a keen eye on the Canadian market with the ambition one day of entering, so we are delighted with this opportunity.”
The leaders of Michener Allen, Ian and Wade Michener, will remain in the business and will continue to oversee operations. Euro Auctions will retain the Michener Allen brand.
