Company Description by American Surplus, Inc.

Bill and Claire DiMaio opened the doors of American Surplus Inc. in a modest 3,000-square-foot building in Norwood, MA in 1992. In the seven short years since then, Bill and Claire and their company have become a very visible example of the American success story. They quickly burst the seams of the Norwood facility and continued their rapid growth in Lincoln, RI. Knowledge of the market, anticipation of customer needs and satisfying those needs resulted in the DiMaio’s quickly outgrowing their 110,000-square-foot warehouse.

A new 460,000-square-foot headquarters in East Providence, RI was selected as the new (and current) home for American Surplus Inc. Just the scope of the move over several weeks, demonstrated the size and capability of the company. Four hundred twenty-five tractor trailer loads were needed to relocate the huge, comprehensive, diverse and carefully selected inventory of new and used material handling equipment, shelving, pallet rack, conveyor and other equipment of every More... description needed for display or warehousing.

American Surplus Inc. is now fully prepared not only for the present, but also for the future. The new facility has been configured to include all necessary fabrication, frame modification and decking custom shops with enough room remaining for a demo lab with examples of several storage systems and miscellaneous products. The fleet of lifts can be assembled in its own 5,000-square-foot space, enabling customers to comfortably examine and test them.

Over 35 miles of conveyors from various manufacturers are neatly stored and inventoried for quick retrieval. Thousands of bays of shelving and pallet rack are also carried in stock to ensure fast lead times and availability. Less
