TES (Singapore)

What TES (Singapore) does

SK Tes (formerly TES, headquartered in Singapore) is a global IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) and technology lifecycle management company serving large enterprises and data center operators across more than 40 countries. The company's core offering spans IT Asset Disposition, Data Center decommissioning, secure Data Destruction (including on-site shredding), E-Waste Recycling, Managed Deployment, Spare Parts resale, Battery Recycling, and Energy Storage Systems lifecycle services. Underlying capabilities are industrial and procedural rather than software-defined: secure chain-of-custody tracking, NIST and IEEE-compliant data destruction for hard drives, SSDs, and mobile devices, certified recycling, and Carbon Loop Reporting with third-party-assured Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions data. Differentiating infrastructure includes 31 R2-certified facilities (more than any other ITAD provider), ISO 9001/14001/45001 certified sites, and over 40 owned and operated processing facilities across 20+ countries.

The business model is predominantly enterprise professional services on a quote-based, multi-year contract structure, supplemented by hardware resale through the used spare parts stream. Revenue is generated from service fees for secure disposal, decommissioning labor, and value recovery via asset remarketing. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct engagement and local-language support in every region. The customer base is diversified across industries, including named references such as Electrolux, INEOS, a global pharmaceuticals company, an airlines group, and a global home electronics manufacturer. The company reports an enterprise NPS of 71.0 and a public commitment to repurpose 1 billion kilograms of technology assets by 2030.

Strategic posture is one of steady global scale-out: leadership is anchored by CEO Gary Steele, Founder and Executive Chairman Terence Ng, and Group Chief Commercial Officer Eric Ingebretsen; M&A activity includes the 2020 acquisitions of Redeem and Custom Controllers UK; and the company participates in regional circular-economy initiatives such as the WHA WeCYCLE project in Thailand. The company is privately held, with no public ticker or disclosed funding rounds, and operates approximately 2,000+ employees worldwide.
