"Customers can trade-in their older products for cost effective, like-new, refurbished products, based on an accelerated implementation process."

SAN JOSE, Calif.--Genmark Automation Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of intelligent robots and turnkey automation solutions for semiconductor production equipment applications, today announced the expansion of its Global Service solutions to include "FastExchange" product refurbishing programs for all main product lines (robots, aligners, controllers) currently operating at fabs in Asia, Europe and USA.

Genmark's most popular robotic product models such as GB4/S/P, GB7, GB8, and GRex, are included in the expanded product Refurbishment Program.
