In this episode, Françoise von Trapp speaks with Bruce Kim, of SurplusGLOBAL, for an update on the semiconductor secondary equipment market, and how the US. and European Chips Acts are impacting it.

They also discuss the trend of top-tier OEMS prioritizing the development of innovative technology rather than investing in legacy tools that are still very much in need, and the impact this is having on device manufacturers that rely on legacy tools, but have trouble finding repair parts. This was part of an interview with Bruce by WorldFolio. Find the complete article here.
You’ll learn how SurplusGLOBAL is building a global parts platform that helps legacy tool owners find parts, and also manufactures replacement parts for those that have become obsolete. You’ll also learn how AI is helping to optimize this business. You’ll also hear about the 2030 Big Cluster Project, the company’s global expansion in semiconductor manufacturing hot spots around the globe, and more.
