Strategic Recovery for High-Value Bulky Assets
Protecting brand value while clearing the floor.
In the appliance industry, inventory that sits is inventory that degrades. Whether it is a minor scratch on a stainless steel door or a discontinued model year, "un-sellable" units consume disproportionate warehouse space and drive up labor costs due to multiple handlings. Because appliances are high-cube items, the financial penalty for slow turns is severe.
United Liquidations provides appliance brands with a clean exit. We understand that preventing these units from reappearing in your primary dealer network is as important as the sale itself. We structure our purchases to ensure that your secondary market inventory stays in authorized channels, protecting your brand equity and premium pricing floor.
Our capability as a direct buyer means we handle the "heavy lifting" across the board. From managing the specialized logistics of unboxed scratch & dent units to providing the capital for multi-truckload closeouts, we enable manufacturers and retailers to focus on their primary product launches rather than managing overstock.
