About Equipment TradeThe department "Equipment Trade" is organizationally assigned to Corporate Purchasing. There are two major fields of work this department is taking care of:
Why is Infineon trading with surplus equipment?
- Selling of Infineon surplus equipment worldwide
- Sourcing of surplus equipment for Infineon worldwide
In accordance to Infineon's commitment to strive for capital efficiency, equipment trade is supporting this corporate goal in two ways:
Why is Infineon sourcing surplus equipment?
- Revenue that is realized by the sale of surplus equipment can be disclosed as pure margin (considering the fact that in most cases surplus equipment is already depreciated to zero net book value).
- The costs of decontamination and scrapping of surplus equipment are tremendous. By selling our surplus tools, we not just realize profit but also avoid the costs of scrapping.
Traditionally, sourcing of surplus equipment supports our facilities in identifying and purchasing second-hand or refurbished types of semiconductor equipment from the surplus semiconductor equipment market. Strategically, sourcing of surplus equipment is providing corporate purchasing with some sort of leverage in terms of negotiation power. Since the supplier market for semiconductor equipment shows in certain process areas almost no competition, it is strategically important to bring up competition by also considering surplus equipment as an alternative investment.
CompanyInfineon Technologies focuses on the three central challenges facing modern society: Energy Efficiency, Mobility and Security and offers semiconductors and system solutions for automotive and industrial electronics and chip card and security applications.
Infineon's products stand out for their reliability, their quality excellence and their innovative and leading-edge technology in analog and mixed signal, RF and power as well as embedded control.
With a global presence, Infineon operates through its subsidiaries in the USA from Milpitas, California, in the Asia-Pacific region from Singapore, and in Japan from Tokyo. In the 2011 fiscal year (ending September 2011), the company reported sales of 3.997* billion Euro.
