Maxicom buys electronic components and chips across Singapore and Malaysia — ICs and FPGAs, motherboards, GPUs, power supplies, boards and modules, loose or on the board. In a region defined by electronics manufacturing — Penang, Johor and Singapore's own advanced-manufacturing base — excess stock, end-of-line inventory and pulled parts accumulate constantly. We grade on yield and pay in SGD.
Components trade on a different clock to systems. An FPGA, controller, memory module or GPU holds value long after the equipment it came from is obsolete, because it feeds repair, remanufacturing and design-continuity demand worldwide. For manufacturers, contract assemblers, integrators and recyclers, that means excess, end-of-line and pulled components aren't scrap — they're inventory with a market. We buy that inventory, grade it on part number and expected yield, and pay in SGD.
Part number, grade, demand and expected yield set the price. A sample of what we actively buy:
This region makes electronics as much as it uses them. Penang is a long-established semiconductor assembly and test hub; Johor and the wider Malaysian corridor host electronics manufacturing and EMS operations; and Singapore anchors advanced manufacturing and design. That ecosystem generates a steady stream of excess, end-of-line and pulled components — and it's precisely the supply we're built to buy. We work with manufacturers, distributors, integrators and recyclers across both markets and settle promptly in SGD.
| Scrap buyer | Broker | Maxicom | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How they value it | By weight | By a single sale | On part number & yield |
| Excess / end-of-line | Scrap rate | Slow to place | Bought outright |
| Pulled / untested | Ignored | Refused | Priced on expected yield |
| Volume | Same low rate | Case by case | One offer for the lot |
| Settlement | Delayed | Depends on sale | Prompt, in SGD |
Loose components and boards hold no user data, so grading is clean. Where components arrive attached to data-bearing hardware, any storage is sanitised to NIST 800-88 or destroyed with a certificate first, on a documented chain of custody — so a component sale never carries a hidden data risk.
Every data-bearing drive is sanitised to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 (HDD) and IEEE 2883-2022 (SSD/NVMe), with a certificate of destruction, on a documented chain of custody. Drives that can't be wiped are physically destroyed through a vetted partner. Certified destruction is what makes buyback safe under Singapore's PDPA and Malaysia's PDPA — so it's included in the deal, not billed as an extra.
Offices and corporates clearing space · IT teams running a refresh · data centres decommissioning across Singapore and the Johor/Iskandar corridor · banks, healthcare and government needing certified data destruction · schools and universities · and resellers, distributors, ITADs and MSPs clearing surplus and client stock. One unit or a warehouse — the process is the same, and the paperwork always holds up.
Send part numbers, quantities or photos and we'll come back with a written SGD offer.
Get my quoteMaxicom Singapore Pte Ltd is an independent IT buyback and recycling company based at 51 Goldhill Plaza, Singapore, serving businesses across Singapore and Malaysia. We recover the value inside retired business IT, destroy data to NIST 800-88 and IEEE 2883, and route reusable hardware back into service — paying businesses for equipment that other recyclers charge to take.
