Greenbox Group acquires EraseIT

Greenbox Group has acquired EraseIT, a provider of data cleansing and asset disposal services, from IT services provider Interactive.

The deal brings together two sustainable tech leaders with the goal to eliminate e-waste and its environmental, climate and data security impacts. The two companies’ IT hardware asset services promote reuse, refurbishment and responsible recycling.

The acquisition will see EraseIT’s established operations move into Greenbox Group. The footprint expansion follows Greenbox’s acquisition of Remark IT in New Zealand last year.

“We were drawn to EraseIT due to our shared focus, complementary operations, and the synergies offered for building world-leading circular economy practices,” said Ross Thompson, CEO of Greenbox Group.

“Bringing EraseIT into the Greenbox fold means that together we have an expanded footprint across new locations, stronger systems and services to support customers, and access to a wide network of Australasian clients. All existing EraseIT clients will enjoy these benefits.”

Alexandra Coates, Interactive CEO, said, “This action sets both EraseIT and Interactive up for long-term success. EraseIT is joining a specialist owner with deep expertise in sustainable IT asset management, giving it the scale and investment to meet evolving market demands and deliver even greater value to customers.

“As part of Greenbox Group, EraseIT will be at the forefront of CleanTech innovation and circular economy leadership across Australasia. For Interactive, this move is a direct reflection of our Unite28 strategy — sharpening our focus on core products and services.”
