PARIS, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Moov , the world's largest marketplace for pre-owned semiconductor equipment, is excited to welcome Eric Tribolet as Director of European Sales. A 25-year semiconductor industry veteran, Tribolet spent the last decade developing an expertise in chemicals used in front end semiconductor processes, working with clients that include top European semiconductor manufacturers. Most recently, Tribolet held the position of Global Business Director Europe for CMC Materials (acquired by Entegris)."We are excited to welcome Eric to Moov as we expand our presence in European markets," said Moov CEO and cofounder Steven Zhou. "Eric's wealth of experience working with top European semiconductor manufacturers and his technical expertise in process and analytical equipment will be an asset to Moov and our customers as we help shape the future of European semiconductor manufacturing by enabling more economically and environmentally sustainable capital equipment investment."Over the course of his two-and-a-half decades in the semiconductor industry, Tribolet held various sales and marketing management positions at Ashland Electronic Chemicals Division, Air Products and Chemicals, KMG, and Cabot Microelectronics. For the last 14 years, Tribolet's primary focus on chemicals used in semiconductor processing has afforded him in-depth technical expertise in front end processes such as wet cleaning, etching, and stripping."I've had the opportunity to build trusted relationships with leading European chipmakers as their supply chain partner for the past 25 years," said Tribolet, "I look forward to expanding these relationships at Moov by bringing European fabs a better solution for sourcing and disposing of both front and back-end equipment. As Europe strives to grow its share of global semiconductor manufacturing capacity, a solution like Moov, which allows fabs to more nimbly scale capacity and recoup capital on underutilized assets, is more critical than ever."The EU Chips Act, passed in July, 2023, allocates €43 billion in public and private investment to double the EU's global market share in semiconductors, from 10% now to at least 20% by 2030

TEMPE, Ariz., Jan. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Moov , the largest and fastest growing global marketplace for used semiconductor equipment, today announced the release of its new Equipment Management Software (EMS) for semiconductor manufacturers. Moov's Equipment Management Software helps manufacturers track and understand what equipment assets they own across fabrication centers (fabs), the condition of these tools, and the resale value of these assets based on data from Moov's global marketplace.Moov is helping manufacturers maximize the lifetime value of their capital equipment assets. Post this Moov’s Equipment Management Software helps manufacturers track and understand what equipment assets they own across fabrication centers (fabs), the condition of these tools, and the resale value of these assets based on data from Moov’s global marketplace.Today, semiconductor manufacturers have limited insight into the equipment they own across fabs, its condition, and how to maximize its value once it is considered depreciated and/or has outlived its initial production line.In building EMS, Moov will continue to help manufacturers operationalize a more data-driven approach to deciding how to leverage idle or underutilized capital equipment – whether that means transferring equipment between fabs, scrapping equipment, selling parts, or selling whole systems to maximize the lifetime value of these assets."Semiconductor manufacturers have neither the tools nor the data to make informed decisions on what to do with capital equipment assets that may be depreciated on their books but still have real market value," said Moov cofounder and CEO, Steven Zhou. "Moov's Equipment Management Software helps manufacturers gain a unified view of their equipment across fabs and augments equipment data with marketplace data pulling from millions of data points on pricing, supply, demand, geography, installed base, and more to help chipmakers make strategic decisions on how to maximize the value of these financial assets based on true market conditions."To help manufacturers simplify the process of deploying EMS across fabs, Moov is offering free equipment audits and data onboarding. Moov will audit and inspect tools across a manufacturer's fabs, and document tool make, model, location, condition, and specifications in the EMS

Moov unveiled a series of new product features at this year's SEMICON West exhibition and conference, which leverage data and automation to further simplify the process of buying and selling semiconductor equipment and parts on Moov's marketplace.
