Background

Our client, a semiconductor industry leader with a significant presence in several countries worldwide, needed support managing the sale or internal distribution of its surplus assets across various international locations.

Challenge

Varying market conditions and distinct regulatory environments in each country of operation were obstacles for our client. To overcome these hurdles, they sought a partner capable of providing a customized management strategy for their global asset sales. They sought a comprehensive solution that encompassed:

Appraisal of market value for its surplus assets.
Support in internal asset transfer processes.
Assistance in the external sale or disposal of these assets.

It was critical for our client to partner with an organization with a global reach and the local resources and expertise to manage such a program.

Our client prioritized global service capabilities and strict compliance with international trade laws, so their partner needed to uphold high standards of trustworthiness, transparency, and compliance, particularly in adhering to trade, export, and customs regulations.
