Electronics processor Sims Lifecycle Services is expanding both domestically and internationally, opening a new facility in Atlanta and adding several new shredding vehicles to its German fleet.
Chief Commercial Officer Sean Magann said in an interview with E-Scrap News that as the company moved into data center processing, demand increased and the extra space in Georgia is needed. The company also recently opened a redeployment facility in Nashville, Tenn.
The 100,000-square-foot Georgia facility is expected to handle redeployment work for several data center clients, and Magann said he didn't yet have an estimate of what processing volume will be. The facility will take in electronics, refurbish them and ship out devices for specific companies to set up new data centers.
"The demand has been there," he said, adding that the location was chosen because "we want to be where the clients are."
Magann said that as more businesses move toward carbon-neutral energy sources, he expects that hardware manufacturing, distribution and deployment will soon be given more scrutiny from a carbon perspective.
"We can reduce transportation by being close to them," he said, reducing emissions and costs.
The Atlanta facility is slated to open in mid-March and will initially provide about 50 jobs, Magann said.
