Arrow Electronics to Expand Dallas Value Recovery Operation, Double Mobile-Device Processing Capacity

Business Wire
Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: ARW) today announced plans to
expand the company’s Value Recovery operation in Dallas, Texas. The
expansion, which is slated for completion this fall, will double
the Dallas facility’s capacity to process smartphones, tablets and
other mobile devices for secure reuse or divestment.
“Arrow’s Value Recovery business is expanding rapidly, and this
growth is fueled in part by the proliferation of mobile devices
within companies and organizations,” said Mark Majeske, president
of Arrow’s global reverse logistics business. “Businesses today are
finding that most mobile device trade-in services don’t offer
secure data erasure or data liability—they turn to Arrow because we
are the trusted and knowledgeable service provider in this
space.”
According to Gartner, the majority of end-point data breaches
will shift from personal computers to smartphones and tablets by
2017. A recent white paper published by Arrow’s Value Recovery
group contends this shift will challenge the remote,
application-based mobile-device data-erasure methods predominantly
used today—creating enterprise-level data-destruction needs that
Arrow’s Value Recovery group is uniquely equipped to address.
Arrow’s Value Recovery business works with its customers to
securely refurbish computers, tablets, smartphones and other
electronic devices for additional use, or repurpose their
still-valuable component parts for other uses. Whenever possible,
Arrow emphasizes extending the life of these devices by selling
them, redeploying them within organizations or donating them. Arrow
has been recognized as a global leader for its Value Recovery work
by the independent information technology research and advisory
firm Gartner.
Arrow’s expanded Dallas facility will continue to meet the high
standards of the company’s global compliance program as well as
local, national and international standards for data security and
environmental regulations, including the Asset Disposal and
Security Alliance (ADISA), the Responsible Recycling Practices
(R2), OHSAS 18001 and International Standards Organization 9001 and
14001.
