German to English Marketing Marketing / Market Research

I am translating a PowerPoint Presentation dealing with business/marketing strategy and have run across the following expression: "Definieren und Abschleusen von Altwaren"

My instincts tell me that it has to do with "getting rid" of said "Altwaren". I would appreciate any insight and light that can be shed on the matter.

Many thanks in advance,

Sincerely,

Allan F. Wier II
