The Challenge
When stock cannot be sold, moved or released to market
Unsellable stock creates more than a storage problem.
Without secure management, obsolete or faulty products can create commercial, reputational and operational risks.
Brand Protection
Prevent unauthorised resale, market leakage and reputational damage.
Inventory Control
Clear warehouse pressure and regain valuable storage space.
Commercial Recovery
Support responsible stock management and improved operational efficiency.
Compliance & Accountability
Maintain visibility, documentation and confidence throughout the process.
Types of stock we support
Protectex can support a wide range of obsolete, faulty and end-of-life textile products.
Obsolete & end-of-line stock
Overstock ties up space and slows supply chain agility.
Misprints & production errors
Incorrect branding, print defects and manufacturing mistakes.
QC failures & faulty products
Rejected batches, damaged items and failed inspections.
Cancelled or surplus production
Overproduction, cancelled orders and unsold inventory.
