Your enterprise surplus, managed end‑to‑end.
A true extension of your team, powered by Citadel™, our proprietary Asset Management & Procurement Platform. See every asset, create your own records or let us white-label and run it all. Clients can view, find, redeploy, sell, recycle, and dismantle across your entire organization in real time.
from your dock to ours
Discretion is part of the engagement.
Many of the enterprises we serve operate under strict confidentiality, and a great many of our largest relationships are governed by NDA. We do not publish client names, volumes, or what moves through our facilities. Surplus can signal a retooling, a new line, a closure, or a competitive move before a company is ready to disclose it, so we protect your identity, your operations, and your competitive position with the same rigor we apply to the assets themselves.
When your mandate demands discretion, we are built for it.
The operating system for enterprise surplus.
Citadel™ runs your surplus as a single, managed stream, from the moment an asset comes offline to its final disposition. Built in-house for organizations with serious, ongoing volume and the contracts to match. Integrate Citadel with the systems you already run, or hand us the keys and operate entirely inside ours.
Every asset, catalogued and controlled.
A live inventory of everything under management: appraised value, depreciated value, location, and status across every site and business unit. Photographed, searchable to the line item, and exportable on demand.
Find any part. Across every plant you run.
On the way in, we don't just photograph the machine. Our team shoots studio-quality images of each asset and every part, piece, and component, then indexes them for visual and semantic search. You and your teams can search across not just the machines, but the parts inside them.
Need a rare part for a mission-critical machine? Skip coordinating with ten other plants. Let us do the inventory, then find it across your entire organization in one quick search.
Every seat sees exactly what it should.
Nine built-in roles, from the C-suite to the warehouse floor, each with its own dashboard, permissions, and actions. Executives see value and savings; finance sees depreciation; the floor sees only their tasks. Single sign-on, two-factor, and delete protection come standard.
Your platform. Your brand.
Run Citadel under your own name, domain, and colors for a seamless in-house feel, or keep it King-branded. Same engine underneath, every time.
From your first asset to fifty thousand.
The same platform whether you are onboarding a single pallet or running thousands of assets across a dozen facilities. It grows exactly as fast as you do.
Built to survive an audit and close the books.
Every change, photo, export, and login is logged and immutable, deletes are blocked, and finance gets depreciation schedules, ROI by category, and disposition revenue ready to export.
The 50-Day Success Window.
We maximize your return by exhausting internal value first. Every asset moves through five disciplined ten-day stages, offered inside your organization before it's ever shown to the wider market. Tap a stage to see what happens.
Internal first refusal
Assets are offered exclusively to your subsidiaries, business units, and offices worldwide, before anyone else sees them.
Redeployment savings, tracked
Every internal transfer is logged, so leadership sees exactly how much the organization has saved by sourcing surplus in-house before buying new.
Find any asset in seconds
Full photos of every asset, plus AI-powered visual and semantic search across images and tags, so you can surface a single component even when it's part of a larger machine.
Far beyond resale.
Redeploy, store, ship across borders, or recycle, we become the single operator for every disposition decision your enterprise makes.
Redeployment
Move idle assets to where they're needed across your business units, capturing value internally before anything goes to market.
Storage & bonded warehousing
Hold assets as long as you need, including in our US Customs bonded warehouses, ideal for international goods with deferred duties.
International & customs
Our proprietary customs platform calculates duties and taxes so you can decide disposition with eyes open. In Mexico we handle settlements, import/export, transport, and pedimentos.
Any material, any grade.
From everyday cardboard and industrial revert to aerospace-grade super-alloys, and down to tungsten and titanium solids.
Scale that few plants can match.
This is one of our US Customs bonded warehouses: dozens of CNC machining centers, vertical lathes, and molding presses received, dismantled, transported, and staged for resale under a single roof. Very few operations can take in, document, and remarket capital equipment at this volume, and fewer still can do it across borders.
We don't believe in stock photos.
Every image below is a real photograph, from a real job, of real inventory we have actually handled. No generic promises, no make-believe, no borrowed pictures of someone else's warehouse. This is just a small sample of what we do, on both sides of the spectrum: AssetRecovery and Client Asset Management. We primarily handle industrial surplus, but as the last category shows, we will take on just about anything. Tap any photo to view it larger.
Capital Machinery & CNC
Machining centers, lathes & molding presses

Beyond Industrial
Primarily industrial, but we will do it all
This is just an extremely small sample of what we handle every day — from screening plants and wash plants to full facility decommissioning. There is no asset we can't handle.
Outsource the burden.
Outsource the burden. Keep the upside.
We don't act like a vendor, we operate as part of your organization. That frees your people to focus on core business while we minimize liability and maximize return through disciplined, sustainable asset management.
From global enterprises and government agencies to families, estates, and individuals. No job too large or small.
To see, create, and package value in a way that is quickly understandable, deliverable, and profitable. ™
To be the global leader in surplus asset management, advancing a sustainable, circular economy. We are King Surplus, and we are the ultimate form of recycling.
Every asset. Every scale.
One partner.
For more than fifty six years, King Surplus has worked as a true joint‑venture partner, from a single pallet of surplus to an entire plant of capital equipment, aligned to one goal: the maximum return on everything you own.
