Our take
To support more sustainable trade, TBAuctions supplies an auction platform specifically for used B2B goods. The company's online intelligent auctions use a proprietary cross-border platform (ATLAS) to connect buyers and sellers, offering a seamless self-serve experience.
A feature of TBAuction's tech is that it is able to balance demand and supply, creating a robust marketplace that can best serve traders on both sides. Millions of products are auctioned through the platform every year, a testament to the value of TBA's offering.
Now pursuing global expansion, the company acquired industrial auctioneer Surplex. This move will support growth in numerous countries including Spain, Poland, Portugal and Romania. It also bolsters TBAuctions' presence in Germany, France and Italy, adding deep expertise in metal and woodworking.
