Over the years, we have collected, bought, acquired, and salvaged thousands of pieces of surplus inventory. From customers who no longer needed it, auctions, and dealers all over the country. Most of it is targeted to what we can repair in-house. Alot of it is brand NEW, which speaks for itself. Some of it now obsolete, which also speaks for itself. We even purchase many things that we know can support some of our biggest customers. We repair it, if it needs it, and put it on our shelves, so they do not have to, ready to ship same day.
I will tell the tale of
3 case studies that best capture what I am trying to convey:
On 2/17, Plant4 of Nexteer Automotive called and was HOT for an Allen Bradley 8520-ASM3 to replace an obsolete board that had been burned-up beyond repair. We happened to have (3) new units on the self that we acquired through a large auction. We had it to them in less than an hour. A few days later we followed-up with Ed Belfort at the plant and stated the part, "No issues, works great!"
On 2/28, Plant5 of Nexteer Automotive called and needed a Marposs balancing head ASAP. Again, we had (2) brand NEW units in stock on our shelves just waiting for the call. We had them delivered in an hour. This made Lahoma Buckley gush ecstatically and when we followed-up with her she said, "the balancer worked wonderfully, thanks a million." We love to make peoples job easier.
And finally, on 2/28, Plant7 called and had a machine down for a SOLA power supply. And once again, we had (3) brand NEW units on the shelf, ready to deliver. We got it shortly after, and their machine was once again, back up and running again. We later followed-up with Doug Haberland and he said, " power supply is in and working great, thanks for such an immediate response."
The moral from these 3 stories? Well, there is no moral. We make stories like this everyday with customers all over the country, not just in our backyard. Will you be the next story told?
