Forward Tech Surplus is a locally owned and operated provider of asset liquidation / disposition services, based in Madison, WI.
For most organizations, selling retired or used equipment in an efficient and cost-effective manner is a significant challenge due to limitations of time and resources, facility space, and marketing expertise.
We'll help you remarket, resell, or recycle your used equipment- whether it be a single piece, or an entire facility- so you can reinvest back into your business. Click on the "Services" tab above to learn more about our Consignment and outright purchase options.
Although we specialize in used laboratory instruments and research supplies, we are positioned to partner with clients from virtually any industry, from Healthcare / Pharma and IT Communications, to Electrical Test, and Survey / GNSS, and much more. We'd love to assist you with your equipment whatever it may be, so click on the "Sell Your Equipment" tab above, and let us know about your equipment today!
Expertise
FTS is owned and led by a research scientist who holds a Masters degree in Biotechnology, and has over 20 years of experience in the industry. That means we are uniquely familiar with the equipment and supplies of the trade and their valuations, which translates to a smoother experience for buyers and sellers, and maximized return for our clients.
Flexibility
Forward Tech Surplus does not subscribe to a one-size-fits-all business model. We understand and appreciate the need for providing you with customized solutions to meet your specific needs, whether it's a single piece of equipment, or an entire facility.Relationships
Being a local business gives us the ability to develop a personal relationship with our clients. You'll have a direct point of contact who will work with you in person to understand your unique situation and challenges, and will keep you in the loop through the entire process. You won't get the runaround from automated answering services or representatives two time-zones away who don't know what's going on.
Local Focus, Global Reach
While we work primarily with local seller clients, we reach a global audience of buyers by using many of the same online selling platforms as the large national auction / liquidation outfits. This puts us on a level playing field in terms of potential customers, while offering you some distinct advantages of working with a local company.
Sustainability
Business growth and environmental responsibility are not opposing concepts, in fact, they go hand in hand. Waste equals Loss. That means landfilling your retired assets is not only bad for our planet, it's bad for your bottom line. We'll turn your old equipment into resources for new productivity, and recapture money for you to reinvest in your business. We'll also work directly with local e-waste solution providers to ensure responsible recycling or disposal of items that can't be sold.
