What Moov does
Moov Technologies, Inc. operates a two-sided online marketplace for buying and selling pre-owned semiconductor and related manufacturing equipment. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, the company serves chip manufacturers, equipment suppliers, and brokers across more than 55 countries, with operational hubs in Austin, New York, Tempe, and Taipei. The marketplace lists approximately 49,335 active equipment items across categories including photolithography, ion implantation, etch/asher, deposition, thermal processing, metrology, PCB/SMT, testing, and inspection, with a total listed equipment value exceeding $8.6 billion. Named platform participants include Samsung, LG, and Microchip Technology.
The platform is anchored on a core marketplace product layered with purpose-built modules: Tool Requests (buyer-side specification intake and matching), Manage Listings (enterprise-grade seller inventory management), and Detailed Tracking (logistics with worldwide GPS and environmental monitoring for temperature, humidity, light exposure, and G-force). Moov monetizes primarily through transaction commissions on equipment sales, supplemented by asset management services, a premium "Exclusives" partnership tier, and a Semiconductor Equipment Aftermarket Services offering launched in 2025. The company is privately held and was acquired by Axion Semiconductor in May 2026, with Jim O'Reilly continuing as CEO of the Moov subsidiary under the combined platform.

Moov product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Moov operates a two-sided online marketplace where semiconductor manufacturers, fabs, and equipment dealers buy and sell pre-owned semiconductor and related manufacturing equipment (photolithography, etch, deposition, ion implantation, metrology, probers, bonders, testing, and CNC). The platform combines verified listings, integrated payments, end-to-end logistics with GPS and environmental monitoring, an Exclusive Partnership brokerage service, and a growing aftermarket services ecosystem for equipment lifecycle support.
Product overview
Moov is a single integrated platform — the Moov Marketplace — anchored on a used semiconductor and related manufacturing equipment marketplace, around which several purpose-built modules and services are layered. At the core is the Moov Marketplace (49,335 active listings, $8.6B+ total equipment value), which is operationalized for Buyers through the Tool Requests recommendation module, and for Sellers through the Manage Listings module, with logistics handled by the Detailed Tracking module (worldwide GPS, environmental monitoring, ~11-day domestic / 56-day international delivery). A premium Exclusives tier lets Moov manage, optimize, and broker a seller's surplus tools on an exclusive basis, and a newer Semiconductor Equipment Aftermarket Services offering extends the platform beyond transactions into lifecycle services.

Moov competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- SurplusGLOBAL: SurplusGLOBAL is a Korea-based used semiconductor equipment broker and refurbisher serving fabs across Asia, Europe, and North America. It is the closest direct peer to Moov in terms of inventory breadth, transaction model, and target buyer (semiconductor fabs and OSATs sourcing pre-owned tools).
- EquipNet: EquipNet operates a global marketplace for used industrial equipment, with deep coverage in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing. It mirrors Moov's online marketplace + managed services model but spans broader industrial categories rather than specializing in semiconductor.
- Heritage Global Partners: Heritage Global Partners runs industrial auctions and asset disposition, including dedicated semiconductor equipment liquidation sales for fabs and OEMs. Comparable to Moov in matching institutional sellers with buyers of pre-owned semi equipment, though delivered primarily through auction mechanics rather than fixed-price listings.
- ASAP Semiconductor: ASAP Semiconductor is an independent distributor specializing in hard-to-find and obsolete semiconductor components and equipment. Like Moov, it serves fabs and OEMs needing alternative supply channels for non-mainstream or end-of-life assets, with global logistics capabilities.
- Newtech Services: Newtech Services brokers, refurbishes, and supports used semiconductor manufacturing equipment globally. It overlaps Moov's offerings in equipment resale plus installation, deinstallation, and relocation services — exactly the aftermarket capabilities Moov launched in 2025.
- UsedSemi.com: UsedSemi.com is an online listing platform focused on pre-owned semiconductor manufacturing equipment, with categories mirroring Moov's (etch, lithography, deposition, etc.). It targets the same buyer-seller audience but with a less-developed logistics and aftermarket services layer.
Broad incumbents
- Entegris: Entegris is a large diversified semiconductor materials and equipment supplier with a certified pre-owned equipment program. It competes with Moov's marketplace through OEM-backed certified listings while offering a much broader portfolio across the semiconductor supply chain.
- Liquidity Services: Liquidity Services operates large-scale online marketplaces (e.g., GovDeals, NetworkIntl) for surplus and returned assets, with semiconductor and industrial equipment as one vertical. It is a broader incumbent offering a more generalized surplus-asset platform rather than a semiconductor-specialized marketplace like Moov.
Emerging players
- KCE Electronics / Test Connections Inc. Test Connections brokers pre-owned semiconductor test and PCB/SMT equipment, intersecting with Moov's PCB/SMT and Testing categories. A smaller niche player in the broader equipment lifecycle services market where Moov is now expanding.
Others
- Machinio: Machinio is a search engine and aggregator for used industrial machinery listings across many categories. It functions as an enabling/competing listing-aggregation layer in the broader used-equipment ecosystem that Moov also depends on for buyer acquisition.
