Companies deinstalling tools at lowest cost in one continent, with no reward for the reinstallation in another ,have caused many problems for the buyer. Poor deinstallation and preparation can lead to a damaged or scrap tool arriving at the buyers site.
Retronix removes this problem by taking responsibility for the complete tool move, from fingerprinting of the tool on the seller’s site, to sign off of the tool in the buyer’s fab.

The “Retronix Factor” makes a huge difference versus traditional methods for tool extractions :
|
Existing Method |
The Retronix Way |
|
Using a mixture of OEMs and 3rd parties leads to inconsistent deinstall procedures in different formats, making multiple tools from one site hard to sell
|
All Retronix tools de-installed with similar procedure format and identical paperwork format, looks professional and makes multiple tool sales easier
|
|
Low value tools sold for scrap at very low price
|
Low value tools harvested and parts sold through existing parts channels to maximise return
|
|
Tools sold “as-is where is”
|
Tools sold with de-install paperwork and guaranteed install, giving buyers confidence in the tool as if they were buying from the OEM, yet at a lower price than the OEM, far more appealing to buyers
|
|
Poor tool condition in resale market can damage sellers reputation
|
Seller’s reputation enhanced by selling tools with guarantee, provided by Retronix
|
|
High cost of de-installation with OEM’s
|
Low deinstallation cost using Retronix’s lower 3rd party costs and economies of scale across numerous toolsets
|
Experience
Retronix has performed several full-fab deinstallation projects in the USA and Europe, plus several single and small-batch tool moves.
