ABOUT

NJT operates by procuring components from decommissioned machinery, surplus stock, or parts from unsuccessful machine installations, and subsequently reselling them to operational manufacturing facilities.

In numerous cases, employing a pre-owned or surplus component as a replacement may be the sole viable option for sustaining the functionality of a machine. This necessity often arises because the original manufacturers typically discontinue the production of replacement parts after approximately 15 years. This scenario is prevalent not only in the United States and other developed/industrialized nations but is even more pervasive in developing countries where machines need to be kept operational on tighter budgets. Machinery that is considered obsolete in one country is often relocated and utilized for several more years in another. NJT's mission is to locate and supply the essential components that keep aging machines operational worldwide.

For instance, consider a factory in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where a machine undergoes an upgrade. The old electronic components are removed and replaced with new ones. The company also possesses a surplus inventory of unused replacement parts. These outdated electronics and surplus parts no longer hold value since the machine has been modernized. Disposing of them either through recycling, incurring monetary expenses, or sending them to landfills, incurring environmental costs, are the typical options. NJT offers an alternative by facilitating the sale and reuse of these components. This not only benefits the original factory but can also provide a lifeline to a factory in Mexico that may be unable to repair its machines without these crucial parts.
