Closing a Plant is a Project. Treat It Like One.
Between disconnection, valuation, and disposal, most facilities juggle several vendors to clear a floor. We run it as one project, start to finish — identifying resale value before anything hits scrap, and handling disconnection, rigging, and transportation as part of the same engagement.
Call Any Time · (949) 674-6220A Teardown Is Not a Decommissioning Project
Sending a crew to strip a floor for scrap treats every asset the same way. Decommissioning starts with a walkthrough that separates what still has resale value from what doesn't — production equipment, MCCs and switchgear, motors, controls, and everything in between — before a single wire is disconnected.
American Industrial Supply Co. is a division of We Do Industrial, built on more than 25 years in asset recovery, liquidation, and industrial equipment sales. That's the team walking your facility.

The same process runs whether it's a single retired line or a full facility closure.
1. Assessment & Valuation
We walk the facility and evaluate every asset for resale value before anything is scheduled for removal.
2. Purchase / Removal Plan
We make a purchase offer for what has resale value and build a removal timeline around your schedule.
3. Disconnection & Rigging
Careful, planned de-energization and disconnection, followed by rigging equipment out without damaging it or the building.
4. Transportation
Hauling and shipping coordinated to its next destination — a buyer, our warehouse, or a recycling partner.
5. Resale / Recycling
Equipment with resale value is tested and remarketed; anything without is responsibly recycled rather than landfilled.
6. Final Cleanout
The space is left clear and ready for its next use, whether that's a new tenant or an empty floor.
