Built for the Brands that Build the Future
strategic management of electronics product lifecycles
We reimagine reverse supply chains, remanufacture whole units and recertify components to extend useful product lifecycles and recover value.
Built on Trust, Driven
by Innovation
Connecting the Reverse and Forward Supply Chains
The range of after-market services needed by electronics manufacturers can vary broadly from one manufacturer to another. We listen to your unique requirements, make suggestions when appropriate and innovate to define program parameters.
Automating Recovery with Precision
Precision robotics and machine vision ensure accurate disassembly, a handle with care standard, and maximum value recovery – at industrial scale. By automating remanufacturing, SLS supports efficient, high-quality certified reuse of IT hardware, breaking traditional ITAD constraints.
Critical Spares – Recovery and Recertification
Parts recovered are tested and recertified and can be:
- Used to replenish spare parts inventory
- Sold through our well-established e-commerce channels
- Used for refurbishment and repair of warranty products
- Distributed within the manufacturers supply chain for repair
Recovering Material to Manufacture Next Generation Products
Learn how SLS, Sims Metal and Sims Precious Metals offer multiple material recovery solutions to close the loop on the materials we process.
Rare-Earth Metal Recovery
We have piloted several mechanical solutions to isolate rare earth magnets from retired hard disk drives. These magnets are sent to a downstream processor to recover the rare earth metals, thereby reducing the need for virgin rare earth extraction.
Build-to-Suit Circular Centers
We have designed and operate several purpose-built Circular Centers to meet specific after market requirements of manufacturers. These secure, custom sites facilitate circular solutions for electronic manufacturers and are sized to meet volume and fulfillment demands.
