Surplus Cable Buyers for Factory Closures in South Carolina
A factory closure is a deadline. Wire has to be removed, the building has to be sold, and the storeroom has to be empty. We buy complete wire inventories and work to the closing schedule.
Wire and cable only. Statewide South Carolina pickup, no obligation to sell.
Wire is the asset most often lost in a closure
('Wire is the asset most often lost in a closure', ['When a plant closes, attention goes to machines, real estate and payroll. Wire is heavy, undocumented and easy to send to scrap, which is why it is routinely the most undervalued asset in the building. A storeroom of large conductor and medium voltage cable can be worth more than several of the machines.', 'We buy the complete wire inventory, quote it line by line, and remove it on a schedule that fits the closure timeline.'])
('Working to a deadline', ['Closures have hard dates: the lease ends, the buyer takes possession, the auctioneer needs the floor clear. We prioritize the high-value material first so the value is captured early, then clear the remainder as time allows.', 'If the timeline is tight, tell us at the start. Sequence matters more than completeness.'])
('What we need from you', ['A storeroom list if one exists, photographs of representative reels, and access for an inspection. If there is no list, an inspection is the fastest path to a number.', 'We do not buy machines, transformers, switchgear, panels or scrap metal. We buy wire and cable, and we will tell you clearly what is in scope.'])

How this material is evaluated
Three things decide the offer: what the cable is, how much is left, and whether it can still be used. Documentation helps, but it is not a substitute for condition.
| Construction | Type, insulation, voltage rating and conductor material confirmed from print or tag |
| Footage | Reel tag, counter reading or physical measurement |
| Condition | Jacket integrity, moisture at the ends, armor or shield damage |
| History | Never energized, removed from service, or unknown |
| Logistics | Handling equipment, access restrictions and pickup window |
| Documentation | Reel tags, submittals, test records and storeroom lists |

Yes, including undocumented storeroom stock. We quote line by line.
Do you buy machines or switchgear?
