I started this company, with several partners in February 2004 after a proven record of selling and buying semiconductor manufacturing equipment to corporations throughout the world over 19 years. As an expert in pricing negotiations and market strategy, it has been my goal to provide customers high company profit margins by reducing their costs of capital equipment. I find the most important reason for my success has been my ability to address customer needs and relationships while providing the best product available to meet their equipment needs. I have demonstrated success in closing sales through perseverance, product knowledge and customer relationships.
