The Rockford Surplus Market
Rockford, Illinois, boasts a deep-rooted industrial base, historically known as the "Screw City" for its fastener manufacturing. Today, the metro's economy is driven by advanced manufacturing, aerospace, and automotive industries. Facilities along the I-39 corridor and within the Rock 39 Industrial Park frequently upgrade their infrastructure, leading to a steady supply of surplus electrical equipment. Aerospace suppliers, metal fabricators, and large distribution centers regularly decommission and sell used circuit breakers, transformers, switchgear, and motor controls. As these commercial and industrial operations modernize or expand, they generate valuable electrical assets that can be repurposed.
We also buy transformers in nearby Loves Park, IL, Machesney Park, IL, Belvidere, IL, Beloit, WI and across the wider Rockford, IL region.
