Introduction to GoIndustry DoveBid

In a market estimated to be worth more than US$100 billion per annum, GoIndustry DoveBid has become a leading force in changing the way in which surplus industrial assets are bought and sold. Since the company was founded in 1999 it has leveraged the growing popularity and effectiveness of online auctions, which when married to the company's acknowledged expertise in equipment valuation, marketing and database management has proved a powerful combination for international expansion.

In 2008 the company enhanced its market leadership position further by acquiring DoveBid. This transaction enabled the company to become the number 1 player in the pivotal Noth American market. Additionally, the company acquired several key corporate accounts and expanded its global buyer database.

The management of the company believe that there is considerable scope for future growth. Even as the market leader, GoIndustry DoveBid's market share accounts for less than 1% of the estimated global market. Because the market is so fragmented, GoIndustry DoveBid believes it can increase its sales significantly over the coming years.
