Why dismantling entire control cabinets is often more sensible than recycling individual parts

In many companies they are literally “in the way”: obsolete or decommissioned control cabinets, often still fully equipped with valuable components such as PLC modules, frequency converters, power supplies, relays, control technology, terminals and wiring.

The common practice in many companies: laboriously dismantle components individually, inspect them, evaluate them – and dispose of the rest.
But it can be done more easily, quickly and sustainably.


The mistake in thinking: individual parts = more control, more yield?

Many companies assume that they will achieve higher returns or "get more value" by dismantling and selling components individually. In practice, however, this approach often leads to:
❌ unnecessary time expenditure
❌ Loss of functional connections
❌ Damage during disassembly
❌ unsorted, difficult to evaluate individual parts

And last but not least, many things still end up as scrap – even though they could have been sold as a whole unit.


The better solution: Sell control cabinets completely

We at MAAS Import Export focus specifically on the Takeover of entire control cabinets – including all installed components. This offers clear advantages for you as a supplier:

No complex disassembly necessary
Faster evaluation & collection
Safe preservation of the installed technology in functional condition
Higher remuneration than for individual exploitation
Sustainable reuse instead of unnecessary disposal

We do the work – you save time and benefit economically.


What happens to the control cabinet after purchase?

After MAAS Import Export takes delivery of the control cabinet, it is professionally opened, inspected, and documented in our workshop. We ensure that:
🔹 Functional components are stored individually or forwarded
🔹 valuable components remain completely intact
🔹 if necessary, entire control cabinets can be put back into operation

This gives industrial materials a second life cycle – resource-saving and market-oriented.


We purchase these control cabinets particularly frequently:

  • Dismantling of automation and conveyor technology

  • Decommissioned plant controls

  • Conversions in mechanical engineering

  • Project and series returns from production

  • Unique pieces from research & development

  • Populated fields from maintenance

We are also interested in older models or supposedly “outdated” technology – just contact us.


Conclusion: The whole cabinet is often worth more than the sum of its parts

What many consider a legacy is a valuable resource for us: Control cabinets – complete, sorted, in original condition.
Instead of investing time and effort in the complex individual processing, you can rely on a holistic solution.

We take care of your control cabinets – quickly, fairly, sustainably.
