TECHNOLOGY CENTER

Expertise & transparency across the board

Our technology centres in Germany and Norway have been your partner for asset collection, data erasure, refurbishment, and remarketing for over 20 years.

Automated erasure process for end-to-end data security

Data security requires a holistic solution, not an isolated one – and this is reflected in CHG-MERIDIAN's consultancy approach. In our mind, data security starts with choosing the equipment and classifying the security levels. But the biggest challenge is right at the end of the lifecycle, when it comes to completely and permanently erasing data on old IT equipment. 

Our technology centers in Gross-Gerau and Skien provide the perfect solutions for a wide range of asset equipment types, from computers and mobile devices to printers.

The thoroughness of the data erasure or destruction process depends on your individual security requirements. We offer a data erasure solution that provides a high level of process reliability: eraSURE®.

Only certified erasure can provide the peace of mind needed when reselling IT equipment on the secondary market.

Eco-friendly refurbishment for a low fee At our Technology Centers, used equipment undergoes sustainable visual and technical refurbishment in line with the principles of green IT. We thoroughly analyse the technology and remove anything that can identify the previous owner, thus retaining the residual value. This is the ideal way to prepare the equipment for remarketing, which generates welcome additional returns for you. And we make good use of our diverse international network of certified partners and wholesalers for the secondary market. We support them with flexible collection options, special packaging to protect against damage, buyer compliance checks, attractive equipment packages, price calculations, and recommendations for the best sales markets, for example. Any equipment that cannot be reused is sustainably returned to the material cycle through our certified recycling partners. CHG-MERIDIAN’s environmental management at both technology centers is ISO 14001-certified.

YOUR USED EQUIPMENT IS IN THE BEST HANDS

It is always better to be safe than sorry. You can rely on our certified data erasure process and our technical excellence.

Overview of our services

Certified data erasure

To protect your data from third parties, we offer data erasure solutions for a variety of storage media. Our certified data erasure is individually tailored to your protection requirements and data categories. You can choose between the eraSURE® and the eraSURE®+ process.

Remarketing

We take care of the refurbishment of your IT assets and are remarketing specialists, which means we can even remarket older hardware after it has been thoroughly refurbished.

Refurbishment

To maximize the value of your old assets, they are optically and technically refurbished, analyzed, and tested. Any identifiers of the previous owner are removed, and any missing components are added before the item is repackaged.

Rollout and rollback

We will assist you with the delivery of your new hardware and offer individual software distribution. We support you along the entire process chain so that everything is in the right place at the right time.
At the end of the IT lifecycle our experts arrange the deinstallation of old assets and take care of the collection, refurbishment, and remarketing.

Sales of used IT equipment

Added value through unrivaled technical expertise We have well-established expertise in the professional testing and refurbishing all IT devices, regardless of their manufacturer or individual requirements. We document this in the configuration and condition description, and our flexible collection options and protective packaging ensure that assets are not damaged during transport. We also create packages with equipment that sells quickly and easily, calculate fair prices, and recommend the best sales markets.

Registration requirements

Our technology centers ensure end-to-end data security and transparency in all procedures, the useful return of IT devices to the value cycle, and the remarketing of used assets.
