RICHMOND, VA and ARHEM, NETHERLANDS, OCT. 31, 2022
Mobius Materials, a marketplace for excess electronic components, and Gusist, a sourcing agency providing clients with complete logistics solutions, today announce a strategic partnership. With the support and network of Gusist, Mobius will expand its marketplace to include European and Chinese electronics manufacturers.
Mobius helps electronic manufacturers easily sell excess semiconductor inventory. For buyers, the company has the rarest stock in the world, all of which comes with an authenticity guarantee. Through the commerce of authenticated excess parts, Mobius brings leftover stock destined for landfill back to the supply chain, contributing to a circular economy in the electronics industry. Manufacturers with excess parts recoup projected losses and buyers obtain hard-to-find ICs at cost-effective prices.
As a sourcing agency based in the Netherlands, Gusist assists companies setting up supply chain in China; therefore, it has accumulated a considerable network of trusted suppliers in both Europe and China.
Partnering with Gusist is an important step in global expansion for Mobius. International manufacturers joining the Mobius platform will increase its efficiency as a marketplace in matching the demand (shortage) with the supply (excess) of chips.
For Gusist, Mobius can serve as a foothold in the tech industry. Each led by an environmentally-focused, female founder, the companies are afforded the opportunity to further a circular economy by bringing manufacturers’ leftover chips from landfill back to supply chain via the Mobius platform.
