Iron Mountain Inc., an information management company based in Boston, has completed its acquisition of ITRenew, an information technology asset disposition, or ITAD, provider based in Newark, California.

According to a news release, Iron Mountain acquired 80 percent of the outstanding shares of ITRenew on a cash- and debt-free basis for about $725 million in cash. The remaining 20 percent will be acquired within three years of close for a minimum enterprise value of $925 million.

As previously reported, ITRenew will now become the platform for Iron Mountain’s Global IT Asset Lifecycle Management business. The company says the combination enhances its ability to provide end-to-end services for the hyperscale, corporate data center and corporate end-user device segments.
