Remarketing Services
Since its inception in 1996, AER Worldwide has cultivated a strong, global network of buyers. This allows us to take advantage of the global market, increasing potential return to our client base. We can help you recover a portion of your initial IT Asset investment by both remarketing complete units and/or harvesting useable sub-components. Once we assess if the assets have value in the marketplace, we will try and attain the highest possible value for each asset and split the revenue generated from any sales. All transactions are reported back to you in a clear, transparent settlement summary.
Our goal is maximum asset recovery of excess electronic components and e-Waste stream, while eliminating downstream environmental liabilities.
