Who We Are

Expertise
In Semiconductor Equipment.

At STX, we have spent years sourcing, inspecting, and placing high-value semiconductor equipment with manufacturers, research institutions, and development facilities across the globe. From wafer processing and deposition systems to etch, metrology, and lithography tools, our inventory represents some of the most capable equipment in the industry.

We work directly with fabs undergoing technology transitions, capacity shifts, and strategic upgrades — which means we consistently have access to well-maintained, low-utilization tools that would otherwise be difficult to find on the open market. Every machine in our inventory is evaluated for configuration, service history, and operational condition before it is offered for sale.

Our clients range from Tier 1 IDMs and foundries to emerging chipmakers, university research labs, and compound semiconductor startups. What they share is a need for reliable equipment, honest information, and a team that understands the technical details — not just the spec sheet.

What We Do

A Complete Ecosystem of
Semiconductor Services

From the moment you decide to acquire, transition, or exit semiconductor equipment — STX manages every phase with technical precision, market intelligence, and operational execution.

Equipment Sourcing & Acquisition

Direct access to hard-to-find, well-maintained fab tools from fabs in transition — evaluated for configuration, service history, and operational condition.

Equipment Valuation

Reliable, data-backed appraisals grounded in real secondary market transactions — not theoretical pricing or outdated book values.

Asset Remarketing & Resale

Strategic positioning and targeted global exposure to maximize resale value — from tailored strategy and professional presentation to buyer qualification and transaction close.

Fab Transition Support

We support fabs undergoing technology node transitions, capacity rightsizing, or full facility closures — managing the complex logistics of moving and monetizing equipment at scale.

Inventory & Asset Optimization

Identify underutilized, idle, or redundant equipment tying up capital and floor space — and align your inventory with operational and market realities.

Asset Liquidation

Controlled, professional liquidation that protects value and brand reputation — from single tools to entire production bays, managed with transparency at every step.

Project Logistics & Rigging

Safe, efficient, and compliant movement of sensitive fab equipment — from decommissioning and rigging through crating, transportation, and reinstallation.

Secure Data & Recipe Handling

Certified data destruction and secure handling of proprietary process recipes, equipment configurations, and sensitive operational data before asset transfer.

Inspection & Technical Assessment

Detailed technical evaluation of semiconductor equipment covering configuration, revision history, component condition, and performance capability before any transaction.

Our Approach

Four Principles That
Drive Everything We Do

Technical Knowledge First

We understand the equipment we buy and sell — configuration, revision history, service records, and process capability. Our team speaks the language of the fab floor, not just the balance sheet. Clients get honest technical assessments, not sales pitches.

Real Data, Real Pricing

Every valuation and pricing decision is grounded in live secondary market data and actual transaction history. You get numbers that reflect what equipment truly trades for — not what someone hopes it will — so every decision is built on a solid foundation.

Honest Information, Always

We tell clients what they need to hear. In an industry where equipment condition and configuration details matter enormously, transparency is not optional. Clear reporting, accurate condition assessments, and no hidden information are core to how we operate.

End-to-End Execution

From the initial evaluation to the final installation at the buyer's facility, we manage every phase — valuation, marketing, buyer qualification, negotiation, logistics, and compliance. Our clients focus on their fabs while we handle the complexity of the transaction.
