A Disposition Partner for Complex Industrial Environments
Plant closures, line upgrades, facility consolidations, and routine surplus programs generate large volumes of industrial equipment requiring coordinated removal, value assessment, and documented disposition. These projects involve heavy equipment, specialized logistics, data-bearing control systems, and assets that often retain meaningful secondary market value.

Industrial Asset Remarketing & Disposition Process
Every project follows a structured workflow designed for industrial environments - from site assessment through financial settlement.
Site Assessment & Project Scoping
Equipment inventory, condition assessment, hazardous material identification, logistics requirements (rigging, crane, flatbed), and project timeline development. Coordination with operations, maintenance, facilities, and finance teams.
Disconnection & Removal Coordination
Scheduled disconnection aligned with plant operations — shutdowns, turnarounds, or phased replacements. Rigging coordination, equipment protection, and serialized inventory capture at the component level.
Data & Configuration Sanitization
Secure sanitization of data-bearing components: PLCs, HMIs, historian servers, VFDs, and embedded controllers. NIST 800-88r2-aligned methods with serial-specific certificates.
Logistics & Transport
Equipment-appropriate transport: flatbed, heavy haul, or LTL as required. Insured, GPS-tracked shipment with manifest documentation and facility intake verification.
Testing, Grading & Disposition
Functional testing and condition grading for resale candidates. Disposition pathway assignment — resale, redeployment, component recovery, or responsible recycling — based on asset condition and market value.
Remarketing & Reporting
Comprehensive disposition reporting with per-asset tracking, sanitization certificates, environmental compliance documentation, financial recovery statements, and write-off support for surplus asset accounting.
Value Recovery & Reuse-First Approach
Industrial equipment often retains significant residual value. Core Asset Solutions evaluates every asset for resale or redeployment potential before routing to recycling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of industrial equipment does Core Asset Solutions recycle?
Core Asset Solutions handles a broad range of industrial equipment including power distribution systems such as switchgear, transformers, PDUs, UPS, automation and controls: PLCs, SCADA, DCS, HMIs, VFDs, shop and facility equipment such as CNC machines, compressors, HVAC, material handling, IT infrastructure from plant environments, MRO surplus, and general facility equipment. We do not handle chemical, biological, or radiological materials — only equipment that has been cleared for release by your EHS team.
Does Core Asset Solutions manage equipment removal from active plant or facility environments?
Yes. We coordinate decommissioning and removal activities with your plant operations, maintenance, and facilities teams. Scheduling aligns with shutdowns, turnarounds, or phased equipment replacements to minimize operational impact.
How does Core Asset Solutions handle proprietary data on industrial control systems?
All data-bearing components — including PLCs, HMIs, historian servers, VFDs with configuration data, and embedded controllers — undergo secure data sanitization with NIST 800-88r2-aligned methods where applicable. Proprietary process recipes, network configurations, and operational parameters are destroyed with documented certificates. For critical IP environments, we support NDA-driven protocols.
What value recovery is possible for surplus industrial equipment?
Many categories of industrial equipment retain significant residual value: switchgear, transformers, PLCs, VFDs, motors, compressors, CNC machines, and material handling equipment are all active secondary market categories. Core Asset Solutions evaluates each asset individually, provides per-unit market valuations, and optimizes resale timing. Recovery credits are applied against disposition costs with transparent financial reporting.
Can Core Asset Solutions manage multi-site or enterprise-wide surplus programs?
Yes. Core Asset Solutions manages coordinated surplus recovery and decommissioning programs across multiple plant locations, warehouses, and distribution centers with centralized project management, consistent processes, and unified reporting in Cincinnati & Dayton, Ohio.
How does Core Asset Solutions manage hazardous materials found in industrial equipment?
Industrial equipment may contain PCBs, lead, mercury, or other regulated materials. Core Asset Solutions handles all environmental compliance for these materials in accordance with EPA, state, and local regulations. Waste characterization, manifest documentation, and recycling certificates are provided. Equipment must be drained of fluids and cleared of chemical contamination by your facility team before Core Asset Solutions takes custody.
What documentation does Core Asset Solutions provide for surplus asset accounting?
Core Asset Solutions provides per-asset disposition confirmations with serial numbers, asset tag cross-references, disposition dates, disposition methods (resale, recycle, or destroy), and fair market valuations where applicable. This documentation supports fixed-asset write-offs, insurance claims, surplus inventory reconciliation, and financial audit requirements.
