Ekuipp

Ekuipp operates a specialized online business-to-business marketplace for buying and selling used precision equipment, such as measuring instruments and machine tools, primarily for the manufacturing industry. The platform directly connects companies wanting to sell idle assets with businesses seeking to purchase equipment at a lower cost. This addresses the challenge of expensive, specialized equipment sitting unused in warehouses by providing a dedicated channel for their reuse, as general marketplaces are often unsuitable for such specific items.

In addition to the marketplace, Ekuipp offers the "Ekuipp Ledger service," a tool for the centralized management of equipment information, including storage locations and book value. The company also runs a machine tool purchasing service. The business model facilitates direct transactions between enterprises, aiming for higher sale prices for sellers and affordable acquisition of calibrated equipment for buyers. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on the platform, including payment processing and shipping costs. The company was founded by Yuri Matsumoto and is based in Tokyo, Japan.
