Vyta

What Vyta does

Vyta is a privately held IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) and IT Asset Lifecycle Management (ITALM) company founded in 2001 (originally as AMI, rebranded in 2021) and headquartered in Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland, with operating facilities in Dublin, Chelmsford, and Frankfurt and service reach across 50+ countries via audited partners. Its core offering centres on secure collection, certified data destruction, in-house refurbishment, and compliant recycling of end-of-life IT equipment, supplemented by onsite hard drive shredding (subsidiary brand DiskShred), WEEE recycling, and resale of refurbished hardware through B2B, education, trade, and consumer channels (RefreshedByUs.com, Back Market). The technology stack combines Blancco NCSC-certified data wiping, GPS-tracked fleet logistics, sealed CCTV-monitored containers, and a bespoke asset-tracking system; the company holds ADISA 8.0 DIAL 3 (1 of 9 globally, only one in Europe), R2v3, ISO 9001/14001/27001/45001, ISO 14068 carbon neutrality, and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications.

Vyta generates revenue through three principal streams: transaction fees on ITAD processing and secure data destruction, resale revenue from refurbished equipment, and managed-services income from lifecycle management contracts, with quote-based pricing on multi-year enterprise contracts. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account management for anchor clients (Linklaters, Aon, BT, AIB, large banks, UK councils), targeting financial services, legal, professional services, technology, and public sector verticals with explicit multinational coverage. The company has ~600 customers globally, processed 801,256 assets in the last two years, and scaled from £7M to £16M in FY22 following the FGD acquisition (May 2022), with an £11M minority investment from MML Growth Capital Partners Ireland supporting a stated target of £30M revenue by May 2026. In May 2025 the 1,000 m² Frankfurt facility became fully operational, extending continental European capacity under R2v3 and ISO certifications.
