Wisetek adds Maryland firm to its portfolio

DataKillers, a Maryland-based electronics recycling company, has signed an agreement to merge with the United States operations of Cork, Ireland-based Wisetek Solutions Ltd. The Irish firm provides information technology asset disposal (ITAD) and data destruction services.

The combined company will become one of the largest suppliers of refurbished IT equipment in the world, according to a Wisetek news release.

“This is a key strategic move for Wisetek that supports our combined customer requirement for standardized services delivery, to ensure that their critical data destruction and IT asset disposal operations meet their stringent data security and CSR [corporate social responsibility] environmental standards,” says Sean Sheehan, Wisetek CEO.

Chris Scott, president and CEO of Computer Discounters Inc., the parent company of DataKillers, says regarding the response of corporate clients, “Our joining together has already proven to be a welcome development by these combined clients to deliver the global services they require from a single source.”

DataKillers’ U.S. coverage, combined with Wisetek’s presence in Europe and Asia, is expected by the two companies to provide considerable market synergies. Additionally, DataKillers is certified to the e-Stewards standard, and Wisetek is certified to Europe’s WEEELABEX recycling standard.
