J&M Industrial

What J&M Industrial does

J&M Industrial (legal entity JM Industrial Company) is a privately held, Millwood, West Virginia-based broker and reseller of used and unused surplus industrial process equipment. Founded circa 2010 and operating with 11-50 employees, the company buys surplus machinery from industrial operators and OEMs and resells it to buyers seeking lower-cost alternatives to new equipment. Its inventory spans 28 equipment categories — air compressors, conveyors, dryers/coolers, dust collectors, fans/blowers, feeders, heat exchangers, mixers/blenders, motors/drives, packaging equipment, pumps, screeners/separators, valves, magnets, size reduction equipment, and related categories — sourced from over 50 recognized manufacturers including Gardner Denver, Goulds, Quincy, Sumitomo, Toshiba, Eriez, Andritz, and Bunting.

The company runs a sales-led, B2B distribution model. Go-to-market combines a website catalog with direct phone/email engagement by experienced sales engineers, supported by blog content, YouTube product videos, email newsletters, and SEO. Pricing is per-item, transaction-based, with observed unit prices ranging from roughly $750 (small valves) to $88,000 (thermal screw processors). Revenue is generated through three streams: outright equipment resale, consignment commissions on customer-supplied idle equipment, and brokerage/financing facilitation through a partnership with Direct Capital. The customer base is diversified across chemical, plastics, mineral processing, and food processing verticals, with worldwide export capability claimed. The company has no disclosed technology platform, no patents, no certifications, no funding rounds, and no institutional investors, positioning it as a relationship-driven, inventory-arbitrage business rather than a technology-enabled marketplace.

Emerging players

• Machinio: Aggregator-style marketplace that indexes listings from thousands of used machinery dealers worldwide, providing a digital discovery layer that competes with J&M's SEO-driven catalog approach.

Broad incumbents

• ThomasNet: Broad industrial supplier discovery platform with a used-equipment section; not a peer in primary business model, but competes indirectly for industrial-buyer attention and SEO traffic.
• Rao Auctioneers: Large multi-vertical auction house that runs periodic industrial equipment events, competing for the same surplus-asset consignment business but across construction, transportation and process equipment categories.

Direct peers

• Loeb Equipment & Appraisal Company: Used process equipment dealer with a chemical/pharmaceutical emphasis, offering brokerage, consignment and appraisal services that mirror J&M's three revenue streams.
• Bid on Equipment: Online auction marketplace for buying and selling used industrial process equipment, drawing on the same buyer/seller base as J&M but emphasizing timed auctions over quote-based catalog sales.
• Perry Videx: Long-standing broker of used chemical, plastics and pharmaceutical process equipment, serving a similar worldwide buyer base with a similar per-item pricing and consignment model.
• EquipNet: Used industrial asset management platform combining marketplace listings, auctions and consignment services for chemical, plastics and food processors — directly comparable marketplace model to J&M.
• Heritage Global Partners: Industrial auction and asset disposition firm specializing in used process equipment and plant-wide liquidations — directly competes for the same consignment and brokerage flow that feeds J&M's supply.
• Aaron Equipment Company: US-based used and surplus industrial process equipment dealer with a multi-category catalog and consignment/appraisal services aimed at chemical, food, plastics and pharmaceutical processors — directly overlapping J&M's buyer base and product mix.
• Federal Equipment Company: Used and surplus process equipment reseller with deep coverage of chemical, pharmaceutical and plastics machinery — same vertical focus, same trade-style catalog and worldwide shipping.
