We work
by using the latest technology to continuously monitor the used
equipment market place. We contact our clients mainly by sending
e-mail listings of the high technology systems we have for sale
to a database of key contacts carefully developed over time to maximise
equipment sales and minimise selling time.If you want to join our mailing list, please send me an e-mail to subscribe
to our monthly equipment news update
Our success in buying and selling has recently allowed us
also to invest in machinery and spare parts, which is now available
for sale directly from SDI alongside those systems for sale from
our clients.
We seek to maintain the highest standards of business ethics
whilst buying and selling on behalf of our clients. This policy
has been recognised throughout the industry, and has allowed us
to expand continually. We now cover the marketplace from offices
in Italy, Ireland and the USA in Texas and Oregon, and have extended our technical expertise
into the area of Assembly and SMT equipment.
