SINGAPORE (April 3, 2023) – SK tes, a global leader in sustainable electrical waste disposal, IT asset disposition, and IT lifecycle management services, has been recognized in the 2023 Gartner® Market Guide for IT Asset Disposition (ITAD).
SK tes, previously known as TES prior to rebranding in April 2024, has expanded its global owned-and-operated facility footprint to about two and a half million square feet. SK tes' 43 owned-and-operated facilities provide a variety of benefits to its clients, including enhanced global support, local touchpoints, in-country/region compliance expertise, reduced logistics costs, lower carbon emissions, and more.
The company's facilities include specialized lithium battery recycling plants. In January 2023, SK tes opened a new 40,000-square-foot facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, expanding SK tes' processing capacity and offering a full suite of services to support enterprises on the West Coast. SK tes processes over 5 million assets each year, equaling over 86 million kilograms of material recycled annually.
"We're honored to be recognized in the 2023 Gartner Market Guide for ITAD," said Eric Ingebretsen, Chief Commercial Officer at SK tes. "To us, this acknowledgment reinforces our dedication to delivering innovative ITAD solutions that drive value for our customers while minimizing their impact on the planet."
In 2022, SK tes was acquired by SK Ecoplant, a subsidiary of the South Korean conglomerate SK Group. SK tes' global owned-and-operated facilities are certified to R2, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards.
