Techno Rescue expands with acquisition of e-End

After 14 years serving the Greater Denver area, Aurora, Colorado-based Techno Rescue is now expanding its electronic recycling and data destruction services to include the East Coast of the United States with the purchase of e-End, Frederick, Maryland. 

“The ideal company would not only have to be certified in recycling and data destruction but needed to have a strong client base and, most importantly, operate under the same type of business culture I have built with my company, a culture that seeks to provide the highest level of customer service,” says Techno Rescue President Nidal Allis.

Allis says he vetted a number of companies until he found the right fit with Maryland-based e-End. “e-End not only met but exceeded my requirements in all areas,” he adds.

Through the acquisition, e-End will become a division of Techno Rescue, the company states in a news release about the acquisition. Under the new entity, e-End will continue to provide R2 (Responsbible Recycling) certified recycling and destruction of data-containing media under its National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) AAA certification. It also will maintain its ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certifications.

Allis says e-End is able to perform unique services for government and various law enforcement agencies.  “Another major factor in my decision to go with e-End was their capability to destroy weapons, tactical items such as Kevlar helmets and vests and a wide variety of International Traffic in Arms Regulations- (ITAR-) controlled devices. This greatly expands our market potential,” Allis says. 

With Techno Rescue’s and e-End’s locations, they will be capable of providing electronics recycling, data destruction, information technology asset disposition and ITAR services nationally. In addition, they have the ability to sanitize and destroy several hundred thousand data-containing media items annually.

Arleen and Steve Chafitz, owners of e-End, say they had been approached by several companies in the past regarding an acquisition. “It was very important for us to know we were turning over our company, one we had built focusing on providing the highest level of service, to someone who possessed the same business culture and who understood the importance of treating their employees and clients with the same high standards we have always insisted on,” Arleen Chafitz says.
