WHO WE ARE
We have continued to grow and adapt, constantly forming our business to help you reach its business and environmental goals. With our hard-working team of over 100 employees, we apply sustainable, green thinking to benefit our customers and communities, through the conscientious recycling of hazardous materials according to EPA standards, and by reducing the volume of industrial scrap metal commonly disposed of in landfills.
EQUIPMENT ASSETS WAS FOUNDED
Equipment Assets was founded in January 2008 by brothers Curt and Tony Hewines. Because of the Great Recession, large plants were closing across America. We saw this as an opportunity and became a capital equipment demolition company.

After increasing our production, we outgrew our small warehouse in Royal Oak, MI and moved to our location in Troy in October, 2010. This is now our headquarters.
