About HGR

HGR Industrial Surplus began operations in 1998 at a 150 thousand square foot location of what was the General Motors Fisher Parts Plant located at 20001 Euclid Avenue in Euclid, Ohio. Today, HGR occupies 400 thousand square feet of the building.

HGR has a team of buyers located throughout the eastern United States, who constantly work with manufacturers who are interested in selling surplus and obsolete machinery for manufacturing, machine tools, industrial equipment, as well as remnants and items for maintenance, repair and operation (MRO). After HGR purchases these items, they are shipped to our facility in Euclid and offered for sale. HGR hires more than 100 people, including its Austin-based marketing group.

The building located on 20001 Euclid Avenue was originally built in 1943, in order to produce parts and spare parts for aircraft during World War II. After the war, it was acquired by Fisher Body, which was dedicated to manufacturing bodies for General Motors cars. In the 70s, the plant was transformed to produce the interiors and upholstery for GM cars. In the 80s, the facility also began manufacturing parts and parts for Sea Ray Boats. In 1993, production came to a standstill and GM closed the building. At its peak in 1955, the plant had up to 2,958 employees.
