What Liquid Technology does

Liquid Technology (legal entity: Liquid 8 Technology, Inc.) is a privately held IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) company founded in 2001 in Manhattan, NY and headquartered since 2013 at a 62,000 sq ft facility in the Brooklyn Army Terminal, which was expanded by an additional 31,000 sq ft in 2021. The company operates a second processing warehouse in Bensenville, IL (opened 2019) and maintains 13 staffed offices across major US metros including New York, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington DC. Through a global partner network, Liquid Technology extends coverage to 40+ international cities across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia/Oceania, and Africa.

The company's core offerings are organized around three pillars: certified data destruction (NAID AAA-certified, offering NIST 800-88-compliant wiping, degaussing, shredding, and on-site mobile destruction with serialized certificates), equipment remarketing (direct purchase and consignment models for servers, networking gear, laptops, storage, and GPUs into secondary markets), and R2v3-certified e-waste recycling with no-landfill, no-export, and no-prison-labor policies. Supporting services include data center decommissioning and relocation, cloud migration support, reverse logistics with GPS-monitored bonded transport, and tech donation facilitation. The LT Portal provides clients with real-time asset tracking, request management, and destruction certificate access. Certifications include NAID AAA, R2v3 (at both Brooklyn and Bensenville), ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018.

Liquid Technology generates revenue through transaction-based fees on equipment remarketing (spread between purchase price and secondary-market resale) and professional-services fees for data destruction, recycling, and logistics. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales, targeting large corporations, data centers, government entities, and regulated industries (healthcare under HIPAA, financial services under GLBA/SOX/PCI-DSS, and multinational organizations). The company is founder/management-owned (Managing Partner Richard Greene, CFO Leslie Solomon), with a six-person executive team and no disclosed institutional investors, no venture funding beyond a single $250,000 round in March 2020, and no M&A activity on record.
