Mamtek Auction Drawing Few Big Buyers

An auction of assets left from a failed artificial sweetener factory in Moberly is drawing curious onlookers but few big buyers. The auction of Mamtek U.S. property drew more than 20 prospective bidders this morning to a Moberly hotel ballroom, joined by online participants. Buyers sought deals on individual pieces of equipment owned by Mamtek, but no one submitted a bid for the company's real estate or its intellectual property.
