About Us
Obsolete Industrial, also known as OI, is a directory of industrial parts suppliers. We are a technology based business. We put this site in motion back in 2008 after discovering that obsolete parts were making life in the industrial environment difficult. Our team consists of industrial maintenance technicians with a variety of electrical and mechanical backgrounds. We have been repairing, replacing and upgrading industrial controls and equipment for over twenty years.
We are a technology based organization. All parts and information contained on the site have been contributed by a community of industrialists. We do not warehouse parts and components, but provide a means for perspective buyers and sellers to achieve their goals.
OI is user supported. When you buy through our site, we may earn a small affiliate commission, our full disclosure is here.Our Contact Information...
