On Tuesday, November 1st, SurplusGLOBAL(www.SurplusGLOBAL.com) announced that it had completed the construction of a semiconductor equipment cluster,
which contains the world's most giant air-controlled semiconductor equipment warehouse located in Yongin-si, South Korea.
The 68,317m2 sale of semiconductor equipment cluster was constructed as a multi-complex including facilities for employees to use, such as fitness center,
cafe, convenience store, rooftop garden, game room, library, shower room, etc. It also included 59,504m2 sized temperature and humidity-controlled warehouse,
1,167m2 demo room, 1,078m2 100,000-class clean room, and 616m2 1,000-class clean room.
The CEO of SurplusGLOBAL, Bruce Kim said, "Through the completion of our semiconductor equipment cluster, the business environment, which had biased
toward the distribution of used semiconductor equipment, is being expanded. We are growing our business to a refurbishment bay, equipment manufacturing
center, performance evaluation business of materials, parts, and equipment, and wafer manufacturing by utilizing the world's best cluster infrastructure and an
area of 3,600m2 of clean room facilities. The semiconductor equipment cluster is looking to be activated quickly, as many of the world's leading companies
will participate. By 2030, the semiconductor equipment cluster is expected to quadruple its more than current scale.”
"A global semiconductor equipment company, Onto Innovation Inc., has moved into the semiconductor equipment cluster and plans to train hundreds
of professional semiconductor equipment workforce every year. In addition, several global semiconductor companies are expected to move-in in purpose of
using for refurbishment & demonstration centers and, is expected that more than 600 billion assets would be invested in the cluster by the end of the year,"
he added.

As for involvement of global equipment manufacturers, cooperation in the field of research and development using semiconductor equipment and
personnel training projects can be expected. Through the R&D foundry business, we can quickly and accurately evaluate the performance of products from
domestic small-scale companies and contribute to the Korean semiconductor ecosystem.
Meanwhile, SurplusGLOBAL is overcoming the challenging market environment by producing 300mm test wafers and diversifying its business portfolio
through global parts platform and cluster rental businesses. The business outlook for this year is expected to record higher performance than last year.
