Home Improvement Inventory Available In Truckload and Pallet Quantities

PITTSBURGH, Pa., February 27, 2012 - GENCO ATC, North America's second largest logistics provider, today announced that its liquidation subsidiary, GENCO Marketplace, has won an exclusive contract to liquidate store returns from The Home Depot stores. Products are available in truckload and pallet quantities to other liquidators and secondary market resellers.

The liquidation program is part of The Home Depot's aggressive corporate sustainability program. The retailer hopes to maximize recovery value on this inventory and maximize reuse of products that might otherwise have gone into the waste stream.

The Home Depot liquidation lots include just about every category of product available at stores, sorted into multiple product groups.

• Home Products - small appliances and other items for the home
• Plumbing and Electrical - bathroom items and electrical supplies
• Hardware - power tools, hand tools, and seasonal power equipment
• Lighting - indoor and outdoor lighting
• Appliances - big box products

Most lots will include a mix of different manufacturers' products. However, some lots will be "return-to-vendor" inventory made up of high-quality product from a single manufacturer. All lots include a manifest that registered buyers can view online prior to purchase.

"Home improvement products are very difficult to find in the secondary market," said Tom McElroy, vice president of marketing and eCommerce at GENCO Marketplace. "These products are perfect for builders and contractors, as well as businesses who resell to 'do-it-yourselfers' looking for discounted home improvement products."
