Wire and Cable buyers serving Portland
Portland sits in Maine, where Central Maine Power, Versant Power feed the load and I-95, I-295 and US-1 carry the freight. Sites near those corridors cost us less to service, and that shows up in your offer rather than in our margin. Portland, Lewiston and Bangor are routine stops and Portland work routes with them.
The sequence is short. You send nameplate photos, a one-line diagram or just a list. We return a written itemized offer the same business day with a proposed removal window. On acceptance we survey access in Portland — door widths, floor loading, dock, elevator, crane needs — then mobilize, lock out, disconnect, rig, load and sweep. Payment before the truck leaves.

What we take out of Portland sites
Feeder and building wire
THHN, XHHW and RHW copper and aluminum feeders from #12 AWG through 1,000 MCM, single conductors and multi-conductor assemblies, in conduit or free-air. Recovered building wire is the highest-volume item in most plant electrical lots.
Medium-voltage and shielded cable
5 kV, 15 kV, 25 kV and 35 kV shielded power cable, EPR and XLPE insulated, tape and wire shielded, single conductor and triplexed. Long unspliced runs and full reels can resell as cable rather than as recovered copper, which is worth considerably more.
Maine specifics
Paper mill closures across central and northern Maine have released some of the largest MV switchgear and drive systems in New England, usually with long haul distances we price openly.

Portland questions
Do you actually buy electrical equipment in Portland, or just broker it?
We buy it. Industrial Electrical Buyer is the purchaser of record — we fund the purchase, send our own crews to Portland to disconnect and load, and take title when the equipment leaves your dock. There is no third party behind us waiting to approve the price.
What is the smallest job you will take in Portland?
A single transformer, one switchgear section, a pallet of bus plugs or a few boxes of breakers is worth a call. Because we route crews across Maine continuously, small Portland pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Portland site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Portland is a few business days for a straightforward removal and one to two weeks for a full plant scope that needs phasing, rigging plans or utility coordination.
Do we have to disconnect the equipment before you arrive?
No. We handle removal. Your electrician or the utility performs the final isolation and we verify it; from there our crews lock out, cut and cap cable at the gland, unbolt the sections, skate them out and load them. If the Portland room is still partly live we phase the work.
How do you handle transformer oil in Portland?
Oil is tested, drained and manifested through licensed handlers, and you receive the documentation with your paperwork. PCB-suspect units go under a separate waste profile. Nothing is left on your pad in Portland and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
