YOUNGSTOWN -- November 13, 2026 -- Maynards, working with Loeb and Orbitbid, will auction the assets of Schwebel Baking Company over three days, November 17-19, 2026. The sale is by Order of Receivership in Case No. 4:26-cv-01628 at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. By our calculation, it covers two Ohio bakeries with a combined 175,000 square feet and at least 363 listed fleet units.
Court-ordered Schwebel Baking Company auction runs in three timed online sessions
Bidding is timed and online. Day 1, Tuesday, November 17, sells the contents of the 125,000 SF bread and bun plant in Youngstown. Day 2, Wednesday, November 18, covers the 50,000 SF bun plant in Hebron. Day 3, Thursday, November 19, sells delivery trucks, trailers and other vehicles at multiple Ohio locations.
The release provides a separate registration for each day. Youngstown accounts for about 71% of the combined floor area (125,000 of 175,000 SF).
Eleven named production lines include two 2024 AMF slicing and packaging lines
The featured equipment list names 11 lines, by our count:
- Three bun makeup lines: two 2022 AMF Accupan Roliflex lines and one complete AMF K600 line with a six-pocket divider rounder.
- Five bread slicing and packaging lines: two 2024 AMF lines and three BSI lines.
- Three UBE bun packaging lines.
The newest listed lines date from 2022 and 2024, which makes them four and two years old at the November 2026 sale. The sale also includes industrial mixers and dividers, proofers, tunnel and rack ovens, spiral coolers, ingredient handling and bulk storage, refrigeration, compressors, boilers, forklifts and maintenance shop equipment.
Fleet of at least 363 units is almost entirely model year 2018 or older
The fleet list breaks down as follows:
- 164 box trucks (6 + 53 + 56 + 49), about 45% of the counted units: six 2020 International MV607s, 53 International 4300/DuraStar (2004-2018), 56 Freightliner M2 106 (2005-2016) and 49 Isuzu NPR-HD (2013-2016).
- 65 step vans used as bread trucks: 45 Workhorse W42 (2006-2009) and 20 Freightliner MT45 (1998-2011).
- 34 International 8600 SBA day cab tractors (2005-2010).
- 98 dry van trailers, 48' and 53', from Wabash, Great Dane, Utility, Vanguard and others.
- Two Ottawa yard spotter trucks.
Minivans, a cargo van and SUVs are listed without a quantity and are excluded from the 363 total.
Of the 265 powered units (trucks, vans, tractors and spotters), 259, or about 98%, carry model years of 2018 or earlier. Only the six 2020 MV607s are newer. The oldest listed unit is a 1998 Freightliner MT45. The release gives no model years for the trailers.
Maynards targets bakeries, food manufacturers, dealers and fleet buyers
Maynards says the sale is aimed at commercial bakeries, food manufacturers, dealers and fleet buyers. A buyer interested in both plants must follow sessions on consecutive days, Tuesday and Wednesday. Fleet buyers bid on the third day. Schwebel's was founded in Youngstown in 1906, so the court-ordered sale comes 120 years later.
The release headline says the facilities are available in their entirety before the auction and invites pre-auction offers on major equipment. The company did not disclose terms for those offers, including whether the real estate is included.
Maynards lists Nyk Westbrook, vice president of business development, as the contact for sale details.
