What Southeastern Equipment & Supply does

Southeastern Equipment & Supply, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned industrial floor-cleaning equipment distributor and re-conditioner headquartered in West Columbia, South Carolina. Founded in 2001, the company sells new, demo, and factory-reconditioned floor scrubbers, sweepers, burnishers, buffers, carpet extractors, and specialty cleaners, alongside OEM and aftermarket parts, cleaning chemicals, and accessories. It carries more than 40 manufacturer brands including Tennant, Advance, Karcher, Minuteman, Nobles, Clarke, Aztec, and Mytee, with over 1,100 SKUs available through its e-commerce storefront and phone sales operations. The firm employs 11-50 people with more than 100 years of combined staff experience.

The core differentiator is the SES Certified Reconditioned Equipment program, in which used machines are rebuilt to industry standards and sold with a 90-day parts / 30-day labor warranty and a Dead on Arrival guarantee, typically at 50%+ discounts versus new. The company holds factory-authorized service status on nearly every make and model it sells, supports OEM and aftermarket parts inventory for older machines, and offers trade-in, recycling, equipment rental, and customer financing programs. Distribution is direct-to-customer via southeasternequipment.net and phone (800-440-6723 domestic, 803-252-0100 international), with free shipping on orders over $200 and delivery to all 50 US states plus many international countries. The customer base spans commercial cleaning businesses, schools, and government facilities, with marketing also reaching Spanish-speaking buyers through a dedicated Spanish-language site.
