Automotive-Spec
- In this extended period of shortages of automotive spec parts with many of them being placed on allocation by the franchised distributors, many of our customers are finding themselves building up surplus material.
- This is primarily due to:
- in order to guarantee delivery of enough stock of the part they need, our customers are having to place orders for more than their projected useage
- production runs being cancelled or rescheduled
- In order to recoup some of that budget and avoid these parts sitting redundantly on balance sheets, our automotive customers are looking for bids to sell the material
- In terms of selling surplus to Ellison, please note that it does not have to be sold:
- with full traceability (unless you would like to offer it)
- or extended guarantees (ditto)
- It is also worth noting that many of our customers do not wish their competitors to know their liablities with regards to surplus stocks
- please rest assured that your confidentiality is guaranteeed at all times. NDA's can be arranged.
- Ellison has bought material from all over the world and is experienced in the logistics of making this work - WITH MINIMAL DISRUPTION TO YOUR WORKING DAY.
- Ellison would be excited to work with your organisation on your surplus material
- If you send through a list, we can give you feedback within 48 hours.
DFAS / Mil-Spec Electronic Components
- The DFAS sector is undergoing increased reorganisation & rationalisation…which means that there will be surplus material becoming available.
- Ellison makes a priority of purchasing material!
- If you have ANY stock of mil-spec electronic components, please contact us, regardless of:
Quantity
- We buy any quantity literally from a box to pallet, container or warehouse clearance.
Location
- This is not a problem. We have bought from all over the UK and as far afield as Middle East.
Is it worth our time & effort to sell?
- You & your organisation may be surprised at what returns you will be able to achieve on your surplus. And we will arrange everything including:
- Shipping & logistics
- Listing, cataloguing & inspection of material
- Researching what projects your material was used in & what other equipment it may have cross-populated into
- Marketing of product to our existing customer-base of contractors maintaining that equipment around the world
- Arranging for payments.
- All we need is the initial contact from you to get us started!
- What if we need the material back again in the future?
- Your product will have been listed, catalogued, inspected...
- ...and be in stock ready to buy back (at a favourable price).
- All under our ISO certified quality procedures.
- Dealing with surplus isn’t a priority in my working day
- Not a problem!
- After the initial contact, Ellison has the experience manpower & logistics in place to deal with all aspects of this ourselves.
- We need confidentiality regarding our surplus
- Non-disclosure agreements can be organised for you.
- Deadline too close
- Ellison is used to dealing with deadlines in high pressure environments and will not let you down.
- Material not listed
- Ellison can give you bids on product “as seen” – no need for you to commit time / resources for the product to be listed.
- We need the space cleared altogether
- There will be no cherry-picking of components.
- Already have a bid from a precious metal dealer
- Based on current precious metal prices, dealers ARE able to give good prices on surplus at the moment.
- But in most cases, our experience, contacts & customer-base allows us to provide bids which will far outweigh its scrap value.
- Some material needs to be destroyed
- Ellison has approved sources with the licenses in place to provide secure destruction.
