ERI Expanding Headquarters

Electronic Recyclers International (ERI), Fresno, Calif., one of the largest electronics recycling company in the United States, has announced that it has received approval from the Fresno City Council to develop a new electronics recycling facility less than one mile from the existing ERI headquarters.

The new facility will enable ERI to support its steady growth, accommodate crusher machinery and add at least 60 new employees, according to a company press release.
 
In addition to the 60 new jobs that are being created, and added to the more than 220 existing ERI employees in Fresno, ERI’s new 175,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art electronics recycling facility will generate an additional $12 million in revenue, the company says. It will be operational on Nov. 15 of this year.

“We applaud the Fresno City Council for their foresight and support of California business in their unanimous decision,” says John S. Shegerian, chairman and CEO of ERI. “As a national and global leader of our industry, we’re very proud to be headquartered in Fresno, and grateful to the region’s leaders who have supported us and enabled us to be a growing, successful business, even during these economically challenging times.”

Shegerian adds that the new facility will house the largest, most technologically- advanced electronic waste sorter in North America. The sorter has been equipped with environmentally-friendly equipment and systems. Additionally, ERI will outfit the new facility with Heppa air filters, energy efficient lighting and other environment-friendly elements to create a healthy work environment for its employees, the company says.
