Rick Krug & Chris Ko Mesa, AZ Nationwide Surplus got its start in 2007, when founder Rick Krug decided to start a business selling refurbished computer components and electronics. The business quickly turned to the eBay marketplace to grow sales. As the venture became increasingly successful, Chris Ko, a long-time investor in small and medium-sized businesses, decided to partner with Rick. ER2, Electronic Responsible Recyclers, works with corporations to recycle their electronics to refurbish and reuse, which are later sold through the Nationwide Surplus brand. With no inventory or capital, each penny earned was reinvested into the company. The success of Nationwide Surplus is extremely dependent on international commerce. In fact, 19% of its products are exported because the global market is far more tolerant of older technologies due to affordability and access. Chris and Rick are particularly interested in expanding their business in Europe and Asia.
