Veeco launches brokerage website for pre-owned MOCVD, PVD and IBE equipment

Epitaxial deposition and process equipment maker Veeco Instruments Inc of Plainview, NY, USA has introduced the Veeco MarketPlace website (www.veecomarketplace.com), an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) brokerage website that helps both buyers and sellers determine fair prices for pre-owned Veeco metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD) and ion beam etch (IBE) equipment. The site will also feature assets from Veeco Certified Partners, such as secondary equipment supplier SurplusGLOBAL Inc, to further expand the inventory levels of ready-to-purchase used equipment.

The Veeco Marketplace site brings together buyers and sellers to view, sell and buy pre-owned Veeco equipment on a protected website. All equipment posted on the website is eligible for Veeco service, including pre-purchase assessments and logistical services, which are available exclusively through Veeco.

“The Veeco MarketPlace provides an easy-to-use platform that is specifically designed to produce transparent and fair transactions,” says Veeco executive vice president William J. Miller Ph.D. “As the OEM and market leader in MOCVD and other etch and deposition technologies, Veeco is uniquely qualified to add value to pre-owned systems by providing thorough assessments, rigorous equipment testing and quick installations,” he adds.

The Veeco MarketPlace allows potential buyers to gain visibility to available pre-owned equipment in the market and decide whether to purchase it as-is or with Veeco value-added services. The services include equipment audits, refurbish-and-repair programs, upgrades and relocation services. Sellers post their assets on the site and have access to Veeco’s worldwide dedicated sales team who market and promote the full value of the asset to a specific target market.

“With this new site, sellers gain access to their targeted customers through and with OEM support, and buyers can make quick, informed decisions on prices and purchases,” notes Guy Shechter, VP, Veeco Certified Equipment and Services Marketing. “Once the buyer and seller agree on the fair market value for the asset, Veeco can provide valuable services and upgrades to extend the life and improve the productivity of the system.”

The Veeco MarketPlace website features user-friendly navigation, including easy product search pull-down menus and keyword search fields. Product details include descriptions, photographs, country of origin and condition of the equipment.
