Servers we built, friends we made, impact we had
A word from Saban In, iuppiter's founder
"After two busy years, in 2022 we saw the market go back to its pre-COVID-19 state. The demand for chips that boomed in 2021 and 2020 slowed down as prices dropped in Asia.
We noticed these trends in iuppiter: although we were getting more requests for Skylake and Epyc servers, the demand for Haswell (v3) and Broadwell (V4) servers dropped.
The reduced demand allowed us to focus on quality. 70% of all servers we sold this year were custom configured by our dedicated warehouse team. We’ve also strengthened our eBay store, saw our sales quadruple within just a few months, and ended the year as a Top Seller. We’re very proud of these achievements.
The end of COVID restrictions also meant we could see our old friends again during several in-person conferences. We missed chatting and making good deals with them.
Despite adversities, 2022 was a great year for our team. We hired several new people and I'm proud to say that we now offer a pension scheme to our employees.
Although the calming markets brought less business, I’m really happy that fewer of our employees are getting sick.
Come take a look at our year."
100% positive reviews on eBay – we really mean it with the highest quality of service
We closed the year as Top-Rates Seller, having sold over 2000 items.
Not to brag but... this makes us one of the best sellers on eBay!
ITAD assessments
We take care of the pulling, log each part in, assess the value of servers & parts, and wipe data with an ADISA certificate.
To save you time, resources, and hassle.
Our iuppiter universe has been expanding with 8 new employees
They strengthened existing departments and created new ones, like HR & marketing.
“I love that iuppiter employees come from so many different cultures and that everyone is being themselves. Here, everyone can find their place. I like how fast we’re growing as a company and that I can be a part of it.”
- Sarah Huka, stock manager
We help you care for the planet
You can prevent up to 25% of greenhouse gas emissions per server by buying second-hand
But our positive impact goes beyond sustainability
We sponsored antibiotics that our employee brought to Ukraine with the Zeilen Van Vrijheid foundation...
...and supported the Feyenoord Foundation in providing sports & educational facilities to Ukrainian kids
(which looked really cool)
We squeeze good stuff wherever we can
Our Christmas gifts came from social enterprises: Heilige Boontjes and de Koekfabriek support people that have trouble finding work
Here’s to 2023!
Saban In: “2023 will be our quality year, in all senses. We look forward to custom-configuring more servers and gearing them towards more complex tasks. Already in January, we processed over 25 pallets with excellent stock.
Our operating mode will switch up to accommodate our regular clients better: we will keep enough stock for standing orders but expand our focus to more deals, too. Finally, we’re really excited to move to a new, bigger warehouse in the summer."
