Sustainable technology lifecycle solutions

The new facility, expected to open mid-2025, will support the rapidly growing needs of Irish enterprises, including hyperscale data centers, enabling them to scale efficiently, securely decommission assets, and embrace circularity through industry-leading reuse and recycling services. Designed with compliance, security, and sustainability in mind, the site in the Shannon area positions SK Tes to better serve one of Europe’s most dynamic tech ecosystems. April 24, 2025, Ireland – SK Tes, a global leader in sustainable technology lifecycle and IT asset disposition (ITAD) services, is proud to announce plans to open a new facility in Shannon, Ireland. The purpose-built 36,000 square foot site marks a significant milestone in the company’s global expansion strategy, delivering full-spectrum ITAD, data center, and technology lifecycle management services to customers across Ireland. “With this investment in Ireland, we’re expanding not just our footprint, but our promise to clients to deliver world-class ITAD and data center solutions where and when they need them,” said Eric Ingebretsen, Chief Commercial Officer at SK Tes. “Ireland is home to some of the world’s most important data infrastructure. Our new Shannon facility ensures we can support these companies with fast, secure, and environmentally responsible technology lifecycle services.” The site is being engineered to provide best-in-class support for every stage of the IT lifecycle—from deployment and operation to decommissioning and certified data destruction—all backed by SK Tes’ global standards of quality, compliance, and security. It is especially equipped to help Irish companies meet evolving sustainability goals by optimizing asset reuse, recovering value, and reducing e-waste through responsible recycling and recovery. “This new site is a reflection of our commitment to circularity and innovation,” said Thomas Holberg, Chief Operating Officer at SK Tes. “It will be purpose-built to deliver scalable, secure, and sustainable solutions that help our clients minimize their environmental impact while maximizing value from their technology investments.
