Dubai, UAE, 12 February 2015: Sims Recycling Solutions FZE (SRS FZE), a leading provider of global IT asset disposal (ITAD) services with 34 facilities on five continents, is honored to be positioned for the second year in a row by Gartner, Inc., the world’s leading IT research and advisory company, in the “leaders” quadrant in its December 2014 Magic Quadrant for IT Asset Disposition, Worldwide.
Gartner’s report, “Magic Quadrant for IT Asset Disposition, Worldwide” by Rob Schafer, assesses 13 significant international vendors in the ITAD market that Gartner believes have the approximate size, capabilities, certifications and track record to meet potential clients’ needs. These vendors are evaluated based on two categories: ability to execute and completeness of vision. Those placed in the “Leaders” quadrant are defined by Gartner as vendors “that execute well against a robust vision and are well-positioned for the future.”
“We believe our placement in the Gartner Magic Quadrant helps solidify our position as not just a leader in the electronics recycling industry but also as a leader in the ITAD industry,” stated Steve Skurnac, president of Sims Recycling Solutions. “Our large number of global clients takes solace in the independent assessment conducted by Gartner that we feel validates our ability to execute on a global scale. Coordinating our 34 sites on five continents has its challenges but we feel the magic quadrant recognition makes it clear that the coordination is succeeding.”
