Company profile
researched Aug 2026Amplio provides industrial asset recovery services for companies holding surplus inventory and idle equipment. The company clears excess MRO stock, industrial electronics and components, capital equipment and full facilities, with the stated aim of freeing warehouse space, reducing carrying costs and returning cash from assets that are no longer in use. Categories handled include industrial electronics and automation (PLCs, VFDs, sensors, relays, circuit breakers, power supplies, HMIs, industrial PCs, control panels), industrial machinery and MRO (production lines, material handling systems, CNC, robotics, fabrication tools, bearings, valves, pumps, motors, gearboxes), IT equipment and networking (laptops, displays, POS systems, switches, servers, printers), electronic components (semiconductors, ICs, connectors, passives) and, in the context of facility clearances or broader capital equipment packages, select consumer electronics.
The engagement model is a four-step process: a client submits an inventory list; Amplio produces an AI-generated appraisal with expert review to establish fair market value and a disposition strategy; the client approves a roadmap specifying what to resell, recycle or redeploy; and Amplio executes logistics, resale and recycling around the client's schedules and safety protocols, then extends the same process across additional sites. Reporting covers both financial outcomes (carrying costs saved, cash returned, truckloads cleared, per-part quantities sold and cash returned) and sustainability outcomes (tons of equipment reused, tCO2e avoided). Amplio positions its workflows as aligned to enterprise risk, legal and finance requirements, with documentation from asset removal through resale reporting.
Business model
Amplio contracts with enterprise manufacturers and asset owners to appraise and dispose of surplus inventory and idle equipment, handling logistics, resale and recycling end to end. Commercial structures offered include outright buyouts of surplus and revenue-share/profit-share programs in which Amplio's compensation is tied to recovered value.
Revenue is generated through resale of client surplus, with buyout and revenue-share/profit-share arrangements available.
Traction
The company reports moving more than $500 million of non-productive assets off client books and publishes client outcomes including $4.3 million of unproductive inventory removed for Kohler, $4 million in gross sales over 18 months for an IT integrator client, and $2 million in gross sales for a paper and forest products manufacturer.

Market position
Amplio positions itself as an alternative to traditional liquidators and scrap channels for enterprise investment recovery, citing use by large manufacturers and asset owners and reporting that it has moved more than $500 million of non-productive assets off client books.
Amplio contrasts its data-driven appraisals — including stated sell-through rates and a proprietary AI review of inventory lists — with "gut feel" offers from other firms and legacy liquidators, claiming 20-50% higher value recovery through incentive-aligned profit-share programs. It also emphasizes diverting obsolete material from landfill toward reuse, and minimizing operational disruption by working within client schedules, systems and safety protocols.
Technology
A proprietary AI system reviews client inventory lists within minutes to identify which assets are worth selling, scrapping or redeploying, producing a fair-market-value appraisal and disposition plan that is then reviewed by human experts. Outputs include surplus recovery reporting covering ROI, carrying costs saved, cash returned, truckloads cleared and estimated CO2e avoided.
Go-to-market
Direct enterprise sales, with website entry points for selling inventory, requesting a custom appraisal or a free disposition strategy, and contacting a compliance team. Customer case studies and testimonials from named and revenue-sized clients are used as proof points, and programs are designed as repeatable playbooks that expand from an initial facility to additional sites.
Large industrial and enterprise asset owners, including manufacturers and their supply chain, MRO, procurement and facilities teams. Referenced clients include Kohler, a $10B IT integrator, a $20B paper and forest products manufacturer, a $200M defense and aerospace manufacturer, a $1.5B Tier 1 automotive supplier, a $26B cruise operator and a $2.7B building materials manufacturer.
