TheSupply, an e-commerce solution provider for the electronics materials industry, including semiconductor labs, foundries, test and assembly facilities, and printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers, and KeyAssets.com, the leading online business-to-business marketplace for surplus manufacturing equipment and service providers for the semiconductor industry, today announced the launch of a co-branded exchange to re-market and sail high value, surplus semiconductor equipment. The online market, powered by KeyAssets.com's transactional database software, provides users of TheSupply platform immediate access to the $4 billion market for surplus semiconductor equipment.

"Our customers value the cost and time savings made possible by the efficiency and utility of our platform." said Geoff Wild, President and CEO of TheSupply. "Our partnership with KeyAssets.com will expand the procurement capability of our users and allow them to maximize their return on the sale and purchase of capital equipment."

Equipment listed through the marketplace can be bought and sold through either a traditional auction process or a dynamic ask-bid exchange. Each item listed for sale is rated and includes photos and full documentation to facilitate the bid process and ensure a fair and mutually acceptable price is ccncluded. Users also have access to all online services that support semiconductor capital equipment, including refurbishing, installation, decontamination, audits, and spare parts.

"Our Surplus Equipment Exchange is a valuable extension to TheSupply platform and complements their efforts to simplify and make more efficient industry business practices." stated Mitch Lashman, Chief Executive Officer of KeyAssets.com. "Our online marketplace allows users to access additional markets through a single interface and enables both buyers and sellers to better manage and leverage their capital investment."
