The electronics recycling firm Sims Recycling Solutions (SRS), based in Chicago, has been recognized as a leader in the ITAD industry by Gartner Inc., an IT research and advisory company, in its December 2013 Magic Quadrant for Worldwide IT Asset Disposition.

SRS says that because market demand for ITAD services is global, the Magic Quadrant looked at the market worldwide. Gartner assessed 11 international vendors using high-inclusion criteria relating to services delivered, geographies covered and quality of execution, SRS says.

“With the expanded geographical scope of this assessment, we consider our position in the ‘Leaders’ quadrant by Gartner as confirmation of our ability to provide quality, consistent services across the globe,” says Steve Skurnac, president of SRS Americas. “We will continue to implement best practices from around the world to solve our customers’ needs and help them recover the maximum value for their IT and electronic equipment.” 

SRS provides recycling services at 42 locations it owns throughout the world. In North America, Sims Recycling Solutions operates 14 sites in Arizona, British Columbia, California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, Ontario, Quebec, Tennessee and Texas.
