Metech International, based in Gilroy, Calif., has announced the establishment of a new recycling facility in Durham, N.C.
The 30,000-square-foot facility is in Durham’s Research Tri-Center South II and is specifically designed for the demanufacturing, certified destruction and material recovery from components and systems from the electronics industry.
According to a press release from Metech, the new facility will allow the company to better service its clients on a regionalized basis, decreasing transportation costs and processing times for clients with operations in the South and Southeastern United States.
Metech says it expects to have the facility ISO 9001:2000 and ISO14001:2004 certified by the end of the year.
“Consumer demand has increased our electronics recycling business,” Sam Advani, president and CEO of Metech, says. “Higher volume and an expanding customer base prompted our decision to open a full-service electronics recycling facility in North Carolina. This expansion is part of Metech’s continuing efforts to effectively and efficiently service our customers.”
Metech International specializes in recycling and reuse of industrial manufacturing scrap, obsolete inventory and end-of-life electronics. The company serves customers in the automotive, electrical and electronic, jewelry and metal processing industries and offers computer and cell phone recycling programs for disposal of consumer electronics. Metech has additional processing facilities in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nebraska and Utah.
