Founded in 2010 by John Carroll, Silicon Valley Disposition (SVD) was created to revolutionize the way companies manage and repurpose surplus assets. With over 25 years of experience in equipment valuation, management, and disposition, John’s expertise is complemented by a team whose collective experience exceeds 80 years. Our mission is clear: to deliver cost-effective, transparent solutions that maximize the value of your assets while prioritizing sustainability.

Serving industries from manufacturing and technology to oil & gas, SVD works with companies of all sizes—from Fortune 500 giants to emerging startups. Our proprietary Surplus Asset Management platform (SAM) powers global asset disposition projects, enabling both sellers and buyers to unlock the full potential of their surplus equipment. We've built our reputation by consistently delivering results—maximizing returns, reducing disposition timelines, and driving measurable outcomes.

With a focus on efficiency, innovation, and sustainability, SVD is committed to transforming how surplus assets are managed—making the process seamless and environmentally responsible.

At SVD, we are more than just an auction company. We provide a holistic approach to asset management, leveraging tools like SAM (Surplus Asset Manager), our innovative asset management platform, to seamlessly track, manage, and market assets for maximum return. In addition, our in-house marketing team, SVD Studios, plays a pivotal role—combining creative branding with targeted digital campaigns to ensure your assets get the right visibility at the right time.

We also offer SVD Ops, our operational services division, which has pioneered a completely paperless process—from cataloging to checkout (pick-up of purchases). All you need is a SAM account and an electronic device. This streamlined, tech-driven approach reduces friction, enhances efficiency, and makes both buying and selling easier than ever. Whether managing a large-scale plant liquidation or surplus equipment, we provide tailored solutions that drive results.
