Expansion of Global-Standard ITAD Services
CSI Leasing (CSI)’s wholly owned subsidiary EPC, Inc. (EPC) offers ITAD services, including data erasing and disposal for IT equipment. With a network in 12 countries (as of March 31, 2024), EPC is able to provide high-quality, global-standard services worldwide.
The introduction of IT equipment has driven growing demand for ITAD services, especially among global companies that place a high priority on governance and compliance. Furthermore, demand for ITAD services is expected to significantly rise due to the spread of remote work and increase in the number of devices associated with the advancement of 5G and IoT.
EPC seeks to cater to the needs of multinational companies with global-standard ITAD services while also properly reusing and recycling IT equipment around the world. For this reason, CSI will continue to bolster its network, expand alliances with partners, and provide high-quality ITAD services in an ever-broader range of regions.
