What CDR Global does

CDR Global is a privately held IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) and lifecycle services company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Oklahoma City, operating for over 23 years under sole-owner CEO Robert Brown. The company provides certified end-of-life hardware disposition, on-site and off-site data destruction, equipment refurbishment, and resale, supported by an unusually broad credential stack including R2v3, NAID AAA (Jan 2026), ISO 9001/14001/45001/27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, FISMA, and NIST 800-88 alignment. It reports zero data breaches across 3.5M+ devices processed and serves customers in 40+ countries across education, finance, healthcare, government, food & beverage, oil & gas, and managed service providers, with named anchors including a Fortune 500 Food & Beverage operator ($60B+ revenue) and a Fortune 1000 financial institution.

The underlying operating model combines fee-based enterprise disposition services with downstream yield from refurbished equipment sold through Amazon, eBay, and Walmart storefronts. The technology backbone includes chain-of-custody processes, certified data sanitization workflows, and a ServiceNow integration that embeds CDR's asset lifecycle tooling into enterprise ITSM procurement. New business lines launched in 2025–2026 — Cloud and Colo services and a Technology Solutions division offering UCaaS and CCaaS — extend the company beyond hardware disposition into recurring infrastructure and communications revenue. Recent ecosystem moves include a Midwest City municipal e-waste collection program (May 2026) and active production and marketing hiring, consistent with capacity build-out behind the new product launches.
