Renewtech is advancing its goal of becoming Europe’s leading supplier of recycled IT by acquiring the Italian company SE.CO. This move follows last year’s acquisition of a Dutch networking division and aligns with Renewtech’s strategy to enhance local presence across Europe. By integrating SE.CO, Renewtech aims to strengthen its foothold in the Italian market.

Founded over 25 years ago, SE.CO specialises in trading refurbished hardware and providing service and maintenance contracts through resellers across Italy. The longstanding relationships SE.CO has built with its resellers will facilitate a smooth integration with Renewtech. Both companies share similar values and a commitment to delivering high-quality services and products, making this partnership a natural fit.

The acquisition also addresses the growing customer demand for certifications and reporting. With increasing requirements for ISO certifications and CSR-D reporting on used hardware, SE.CO and its customers will benefit from Renewtech’s strong sustainability profile and multiple ISO certifications. This partnership underscores Renewtech’s dedication to quality and trustworthiness in the market.

Renewtech CEO Bjarne Aarup stated that this partnership “… is a good match for Renewtech and our high ambitions for sustainable IT solutions align very well. It is of immense importance for Renewtech to be close to our many customers and we are happy to expand our local presence in Italy through SE.CO which has the same high ambitions as Renewtech for sustainable IT solutions”.

Similarly, Massimiliano Campese, Managing Director of SE.CO Srl also emphasised on the sustainable notion, saying that “…The demand for refurbished hardware solutions from our customers is increasing as well as their customers’ requirements related to sustainability and CSR-D documentation. Therefore, we have chosen to be a part of Renewtech, as this enables SE.CO. to provide our customers with an even broader product range of refurbished hardware as well as in-depth knowledge for supporting customers with complex configurations.”
