Axion Semiconductor has acquired Moov Technologies, an Austin, Texas-based semiconductor equipment marketplace and asset management platform that serves customers in more than 55 countries. The transaction expands Axion Semiconductor’s operating platform and strengthens its position across the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Axion Semiconductor, based in Greenwood Village, Colorado, is a platform company focused on supply chain operations and services. It was founded by semiconductor industry veterans Austin Gill, John Getchell, and Jeff Robbins, who together have more than 60 years of experience founding, owning, and operating industry businesses and have managed billions of dollars in semiconductor equipment assets, services, and transactions.
Moov Technologies operates the world’s first interactive equipment marketplace and asset management platform, built on a modern technology stack. The platform supports the sourcing and sale of semiconductor fabrication, packaging, test, EMS, and SMT equipment, as well as surplus, idle, and scrap tools. It also provides logistics, de-installation, rigging, crating, refurbishment, installation, and live shipment tracking services for customers across multiple regions.
Following the acquisition, Jim O'Reilly will serve as CEO of Moov Technologies, while Jeff Kielty will continue as managing director. Moov will maintain operations from its hubs in Austin, Texas, and New York, New York, with additional sites in Tempe, Arizona, and Taipei, Taiwan, as part of Axion Semiconductor’s broader platform. The combined entity will continue to support customers in North America, Asia, and Europe.

The company's technology, customer relationships and operational capabilities have established it as a trusted partner for many of the world's leading manufacturers. By bringing together Moov's platform with Axion's leadership team and long-term strategy, we believe the company is well positioned to accelerate growth and expand its role within the global semiconductor ecosystem.”
Jeff Robbins, COO of Axion Semiconductor, added: “One of the strengths of the Moov platform is its ability to connect equipment owners, buyers and service providers through a more efficient and transparent process. The semiconductor industry continues to face increasing complexity around equipment sourcing, asset utilization and lifecycle management. Combining Moov's platform capabilities with Axion's operational infrastructure positions us to better support customers across the global semiconductor supply chain.”
