About Unite Craft Corp.

Unite Craft Corp. (UCC) is the first electronic commerce marketplace specializing in surplus professional brewery equipment. Our mission is to provide a simple, easy-to-use solution to surplus equipment; a solution that benefits both buyers and sellers within the brewing community. Designed for the professional brewery owner, the UBE marketplace provides a platform to efficiently buy and sell brewery equipment B2B: brewery to brewery.

We work to ensure that sellers can recover the maximum financial return from their pre-owned brewery equipment, and buyers can feel confident and protected in their purchases. Our platform reaches over 7,900 breweries across North America, allowing for transactions between regional breweries and microbreweries, contract brewers and brew pubs, and taproom breweries and family run craft breweries.

UCC connects the brewing community.

The platform is easy to use, and provides a one-stop shop to buy and sell in the way that best suits your needs. Sellers can self-post their equipment or enlist the help of our customer service specialists. Buyers are able to control their interactions with sellers through “buy now” and “make an offer” options, ensuring optimized market price. With our neutral third-party escrow service, we ensure that seller and buyer transactions are fair, safe, and secure.

Our team at UCC is laser-focused on brewery owners and operators; we are here to support you.
