HP has opened a technology renewal center in Erskine, Scotland, enabling commercial HP customers to acquire certified legacy HP products and participate in equipment reuse programs, regardless of equipment type or manufacturer.

Owned and operated by HP Financial Services, the company’s leasing and asset management subsidiary, the 8,400-square-meter facility provides customers in Europe, and around the world, with a full range of IT legacy asset management and reuse services. The services provided by the renewal center are specifically focused on helping large business enterprises handle the complexities and challenges associated with the life cycle management of IT equipment. The facility will help reduce potential e-waste by renewing older IT equipment.

Renewal services are a key component to the center’s operations. IT equipment processed at the facility is put through a rigorous renewal process that includes reconditioning, testing and certifying assets back to original manufacturing standards before they are remarketed.

Jim O’Grady (Director, Global Asset Management, HP Financial Services): HP Financial Services manages and remarkets more than 2.3 million legacy IT assets each year.
