KeyAssets provides asset management solutions to global semiconductor manufacturers by delivering on-demand solutions including trading and remarketing used semiconductor manufacturing equipment and also providing a menu of different financing options tailored to the customers’ equipment management requirements.
The currency of our modern, information driven economy is the ubiquitous computer chip. The proliferation of “intelligent” and increasingly networked devices employing these “chips” is pervasive, impacting almost every aspect of our existence. The last 30 years has seen these devices grow increasingly more powerful (in computing terms), more miniaturized, and cost significantly less. The tools and processes that manufacture these state of the art electronics, however, have become more complex with the cost of each new generation of equipment growing at a compounded double digit rate.
Today, most Semiconductor manufacturers face a multitude of challenges from the global economic uncertainty to rapidly changing product lifecycles, to continuous factory capacity changes, to unpredictable industry cycles with increasing technology cost and increased competition. The KeyAssets business platform has successfully evolved over the last 30 years by specializing and responding to the ever changing technology and industry climate in direct response to our customers. KeyAssets enables the customer to pursue new or expanded equipment technology challenges to allow rapid equipment factory ramp-up, entry or exit, while decoupling rigid and inflexible business processes.
