In today’s industrial world, every dollar counts. Whether you’re running a growing manufacturing plant or managing maintenance on a tight budget, finding ways to reduce overhead without sacrificing quality is essential. One of the smartest strategies? Buying surplus industrial equipment—and here’s why.

What Is Surplus?

Surplus refers to brand-new or gently used industrial equipment and parts that are no longer needed by the original buyer. These items may be overstocked, left over from a completed project, or phased out due to changes in production. But here’s the thing: they’re still high-quality, functional, and often unused.

At VB Industrial Supply, we specialize in sourcing and reselling surplus industrial equipment so our customers can get reliable gear at a fraction of the cost.

Why Surplus Has No Tariffs

Here’s where the savings really stack up. When you import brand-new industrial goods directly from overseas, you’re typically subject to tariffs—government-imposed taxes on imported items. These tariffs can increase the cost of goods significantly, and that price hike usually gets passed down to the customer.

But surplus items are already in the country—they’ve cleared customs, duties, and all the red tape. That means:

• No import tariffs

• No long international shipping delays

• No surprise fees or added taxes

And that all adds up to one thing: major savings for your business.

Real Savings, Real Results

Because surplus items bypass many of the costs associated with new imports, they’re often 30–70% cheaper than buying new. And with VB Industrial Supply, you still get equipment from trusted brands—just at a better price.

We inspect and catalog every item so you know exactly what you're getting. Plus, our inventory is constantly changing, which means you can often find rare or discontinued parts that you won’t get anywhere else.

Good for the Budget. Good for the Planet.

Let’s not forget the environmental benefit. Buying surplus helps reduce waste and keeps perfectly usable equipment out of landfills. It’s a win-win for your bottom line and the planet.
