The success of online marketplaces to sell and buy used machines has made the market of second-hand machinery growing quickly.

EXAPRO is one of the European leaders for the sale and purchase of used machines through Internet. Sellers come to the website to list their machines while buyers check the online catalogue to find used equipment. The company is currently developing the Asian market, a very fast growing continent.

It is now one of the most promising market worldwide. The team has just been set and is ready to grow the market.

With Japan, China and South Korea besides Germany and the United States, three of the five largest machinery consumers and producers in 2015 came from Asia. Japan has an historic position of leader with some very important machine manufacturers (Fanuc, DMG Mori, Amada, Okuma…). China is becoming one of the most important importer in machinery with US$156 billion in 2015, making it the third largest importation category after oil and electronic). Vietnam and Taiwan are also fast growing in the market.

The company has decided to develop this market because of the important position of the industry and the growing economies of these countries. In term of machines production and consumption, the continent is already in competition with Europe, basically leader in the market.

After having successfully developed the European market, Exapro takes up a new challenge with the Asian Market.
