Arrow ECS Signs Agreement with Artex Environmental

Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions, a business segment of Arrow Electronics Inc. announced an exclusive distribution agreement with Artex Environmental Corp. enabling Canadian resellers to offer electronic waste disposal solutions to their customers as a managed service.

"Disposing of retired and obsolete computing solutions is an aspect of information technology that requires sophisticated solutions from credible service providers. Selecting the right e-waste service provider requires equal focus on advanced environmental solutions and uncompromising levels of security to protect companies against data and identity theft. ARTEX addresses both of these requirements and is one of the leading companies in this space," said Robert Boulet, VP of Arrow ECS Canada. "Arrow ECS is pleased to assist resellers in this critical area of IT support. Serving as the service provider for removing old technology gives resellers the opening to suggest new solutions to replace that equipment."

Artex processes end-of-life computers and other retired electronic equipment in a manner that meets or exceeds the highest regulatory standards and provides best-practices environmental solutions. Just as important, ARTEX provides industry-leading, secure data-destruction services, essentially eliminating any chance of identity theft or loss of confidential information. ARTEX guarantees that e-waste it receives will never be dumped in landfills nor shipped to developing countries and will at all times be handled in the most environmentally sound and cost-efficient manner.
