Two-day online auction of 3,000+ Lumileds semiconductor assets in San Jose, featuring advanced fab, R&D, and facility equipment.
SAN JOSE, CA, UNITED STATES, March 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Branford Group, in partnership with Hilco Global’s commercial industrial practice, is pleased to announce a significant two-day timed online auction featuring the former assets of Lumileds, a world-class LED and compound semiconductor manufacturer. This rare opportunity includes more than 3,000 lots of semiconductor fabrication, epitaxy, lithography, metrology, microscopy, and facility support equipment located in San Jose, California.
The sale presents an exceptional opportunity for semiconductor manufacturers, research institutions, and advanced technology companies to acquire high-quality production and R&D assets from a sophisticated epitaxy manufacturing environment. Featured equipment includes Canon and ASML steppers; Veeco and Aixtron MOCVD reactors; Novellus deposition systems; Tokyo Electron developer coaters; KLA-Tencor inspection systems; FEI scanning electron microscopes; Bruker analytical tools; wafer processing, test, and specialty process systems; as well as extensive plant infrastructure including Trane high-capacity chillers, Atlas Copco compressors, ammonia gas purification systems, and environmental abatement equipment. The scale and depth of technology make this one of the most comprehensive semiconductor equipment offerings brought to market in recent years.
“This is a rare opportunity for buyers to access production-capable semiconductor assets of this caliber,” said James Gardner, Partner/SVP of The Branford Group. “The breadth of advanced epitaxy, lithography, inspection, and support systems provides immediate expansion potential for manufacturers looking to enhance capacity without the long lead times associated with new equipment procurement. We anticipate strong interest from both domestic and international buyers.”
“Partnering with Branford on an offering of this magnitude underscores Hilco Global’s commitment to delivering world-class disposition solutions,” said a representative from Hilco Global. “We look forward to connecting qualified buyers globally with these exceptional assets.”
