The firm has opened a 11,900 square-metre showroom in South Korea
On September 4th, 2013, SurplusGLOBAL started to sell about five hundred units of used semiconductor equipment after opening the largest used semiconductor equipment display store.
This 11,900 square-metres depot is temperature and humidity controlled and is located in Osan, South Korea.
This SurplusGLOBAL depot displays more than 500 tools of 300 different kinds of semiconductor equipment which have been purchased from ten countries including the US, Japan, Taiwan, Europe, Singapore, and China.
SurplusGLOBAL's main facility in Korea measures approximately 28,000 square-metres, consists of temperature and humidity controlled storage and work areas for inspection and display. The company has displayed and sold more than 1,200 tools, with tool inventory of almost $2 billion on the basis of the new semiconductor equipment pricing.
SurplusGLOBAL CEO Bruce Kim says, "We can help our customers with the difficulty of purchasing. Our target is to supply systems promptly and trustworthily. We expect the Osan equipment depot to become a one-stop solution. In the medium-to-long term, we have a plan to provide the capability to reconfigure used semiconductor equipment clusters. This will provide a one-stop shop for all our customers' needs such as purchasing, marketing, storage, display, testing and refurbishment."
The Asian secondary semiconductor equipment market has been experiencing continued growth. The market size is estimated at about $3 billion.
SurplusGLOBAL has grown rapidly for the last ten years and is planning to build used semiconductor equipment display stores in Taiwan and China in the future.
