REDEMTECH OPENS AMSTERDAM PLANT

Redemtech, a Columbus, Ohio-based provider of IT asset management services, has announced the opening of a new "Technology Change Management Center" (TCM) in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The 7,200-square-foot plant employs 50 people and serves European and global companies that are standardizing asset recovery processes across their organizations. The facility extends the capabilities of Redemtech’s existing TCM Centers, including three in the United States, two in Canada and one in the United Kingdom.

"Our growing network of regional TCM Centers enables global organizations to apply consistent standards across their operations, while ensuring fast response and minimizing transportation costs," Robert Houghton, president and founder of Redemtech, says.

Redemtech plans to continue its expansion in Europe with an additional facility in Poland scheduled to open in late summer.

The Amsterdam TCM Center provides a range of services to extend equipment life, including repair and refurbishment, redeployment, remarketing, charitable donation and employee sale. Assets with no value are recycled in compliance with Redemtech’s zero-landfill, zero-export policy.

The Amsterdam facility, like all Redemtech TCM Centers, is equipped with Retrac, the company’s Web-based business process automation system that systematically executes client business rules for asset processing, critical risk mitigation services, such as data destruction, and compliance reporting.

The Amsterdam TCM Center also features sophisticated material handling technologies to streamline workflow and to speed asset turnaround.

NORANDA RECYCLING RECEIVES ISO CERTIFICATION

Noranda Recycling Inc. has announced that its Brampton, Ontario, Canada, electronics recycling facility has been ISO 14001 certified, joining four of the company’s other ISO 14001-certified North American facilities.

"We are extremely pleased to have achieved compliance with ISO 14001-2004 in Brampton," says Steve Skurnac, president of Noranda Recycling. "This is truly a testament to the hard work of all employees to ensure that we have the right environmental policies and procedures in place and that we are able to meet the ever-growing demand for the highest level of environmental performance."

Certification of ISO environmental standards requires independent third-party verification. ISO 14001-2004 certification necessitates that a company has an environmental policy in place that states its intentions and commitment to environmental performance as well as a plan for analyzing the environmental impact of its operation with the goal of continual improvement.

Noranda Recycling operates three end-of-life electronics recycling plants in Roseville, Calif.; LaVergne, Tenn.; and Brampton and two precious metals sampling facilities in San Jose, Calif., and East Providence, R.I.
